List Four Pathological Adaptations
Atrophy, Hypertrophy, Metaplasia, Dysplasia.
Describe Atrophy
Cells decrease in size (organ shrinks, e.g. CP 13: brain atrophy)
Describe Hypertrophy.
Cells increase in size (e.g. muscle man)
Describe Hyperplasia
A group of cells undergo mitosis. The size of the cells doesn’t change, only the number.
Describe Metaplasia
One cell type changes to another type of cell.
Describe Dysplasia
The first step before cancer (precancerous) [enlargement of an organ by abnormal cell growth.]
LGN problem described in class was this type of adaptation:
Atrophy
RPE problem discussed was:
Retinal Pigment Epithelium Hypertrophy

Low Compliance.
Cirrhosis aka?
Steatosis.
Free Fatty Acids + _____ = vLDL?
Apoprotein
What does Beta-oxidation convert fats into?
Ketones and Carbon dioxide.
What are two substrates for liponeogenesis by the liver?
Amino acids and glucose.
Give two sources for FFAs:
Adipose tissue breakdown and Chylomicrons
What is Xanthelasma?
Raised yellow plaques occurring around the eyelids, resulting from high levels of circulating FFAs.
