steatosis
|
accumulation of fat in hepatocytes
reversible |
|
mallory's hyaline
|
permanent aggregation of cytokeratin--dense pink rope-like body in cytoplasm of hepatocytes
|
|
hemochromatosis
|
rusty brown color in hepatocytes from iron accumulation
|
|
hemosiderosis
|
abnormal accumulation of iron in tissues due to any cause--can avoid damage with early routine phlebotomy.
Untreated, it can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure and eventually hepatocellular carcinoma |
|
coagulative necrosis
|
denaturation of protein dominates picutre
|
|
liquefactive necrosis
|
extensive acute inflammation resulting in failry complete digestion of tissue
|
|
gangrenous necrosis
|
coagulative necrosis and superimposed bacterial infection of necrotic tissue
|
|
enzymatic fat necrosis
|
necrosis of fat by pancreatic lipases
fatty acids released from fat cells combine with calcium resulting in saponification--chalky yellow deposits |
|
caseous necrosis
|
combo of coagulative and liquefactive necrosis imparting a "cheese-like" appearance
|
|
xenobiotic
|
biologically active chemical that is not "us"
|
|
atrophy
|
decrease in size and/or volume of cells and tissue in an organ
|
|
hypertrophy
|
increase in cell size resulting in increase in volume of an organ
|
|
hyperplasia
|
increase in normal cell numbers resulting in an increase in the volume of an organ
|
|
metaplasia
|
replacement of one adult cell type by another adult cell type
|
|
dysplasia
|
tissue alterations characterized by architectural and cytologic disoreder--failure of normal differentiation
|
|
edema
|
presence of excessive fluid in a tissue or body cavity
|
|
transudate
|
low specific gravity
|
|
exudate
|
leaking pus with high specific gravity
|
|
ascites
|
fluid in peritoneal cavity below diaphragm
|
|
anasarca
|
diffuse, whole-body edema
|
|
hyperemia
|
increased volume of blood within a specific vascular bed
|
|
anemia
|
reduction in # and/or volume of erythrocytes in a unit volume of blood
|
|
backward heart failure
|
failure to pump blood out of veins--> "congestive"
|
|
forward heart failure
|
failure to pump blood into arteries with sufficient pressure to perfuse the organs
|
|
global heart failure
|
forward and backward failure
|
|
right sided congestive heart failure
|
right ventricle fails to empty systemic veins
dilated right ventricle, systemic edema, effusions |
|
left sided CHF
|
left ventricle fails to empty pulmonic veins
dilated left ventricle, pulmonary edema |
|
Virchow's triad
|
Vessel wall injury
Increased blood coagulability Decreased blood flow |
|
Phlebothrombosis
|
stasis of blood in uninflamed veins
|
|
thrombophlebitis
|
venous thrombois in which inflammation of vein wall plays primary role
|
|
shock
|
inadequate perfusion of cells and tissues
|
|
Septic shock
|
hyperdynamic: increased pusle, cardiac output, ventilation, CVP
Hypotension, warm, dry extremities and peripheral vasodilation |
|
procoagulant mechanisms
|
reflex vasoconstriction
platelets plasma proteins |
|
what does vWF bind to for platelet adhesion to subendothelium?
|
platelet GPIb receptor complex
|
|
anticoagulant mechanisms (3)
|
antithrombin-heparin system
Protein C pathway fibrinolytic system |
|
What does vWF do in terms of FVIII?
|
protects it from proteolytic cleavage and brings it to site of hemorrhage
|
|
what happens for aggregation?
|
fibrinogen crosslinks platelets via GPIIb-IIIa receptors
|
|
describe protein C pathway
|
thrombin + thrombomodulin activates protein C and interacts with protein S to inactivate FVa and FVIIIa to shut down coag cascade
|
|
what will prolong a PT?
|
deficiency of FVII, X, V, II, fibrinogen
|
|
what will prolong at PTT?
|
def. of FVIII, IX, XI, XII
