hypertrophy
What is the difference between hyperplasia and hypertrophy?
What happens is hyperplasia persists? Right Ans - Hyperplasia is growth
by # of cells. Hypertrophy is by growth of cellular content.
Hypertrophy can worsen into dysplasia, and worsen further into cancer.
What is an adaptation to a lack of stress? Right Ans - Atrophy
What are the 2 forms of atrophy? Be specific on the methods of one of these
forms. Right Ans - Atrophy is divided into Apoptosis which decreases # of
cells (via apoptosis) and separately there can be a decrease in cell size
The decrease in cell size occurs by either Ubiquitin-Proteasome degradation
of IC compartments, or Autophagy which fuses vacuoles to lysosomes.
What is metaplasia? Right Ans - Change in cell type.
What are the 3 examples of metaplasia?
Describe each Right Ans - Barrett's Esphagus: Esophageal Nonkeratinizing

3. Hypoxia
4. Trauma
5. Genetic mutations

Why is oxygen important?
What are 3 general causes of hypoxia? Right Ans - Oxygen is used in ETC to
make ATP.
Hypoxia is caused by either...
1. Ischemia
2. Low partial pressure of oxygen
3. Hb loss or dysfunction
What are the causes of ischemia?
What are the causes of low partial pressure of oxygen?
What are the 3 forms of Hb loss or dysfunction? Right Ans - Ischemia:
Caused by low artery perfusion, increased venous blood, or shock
(generalized hypertension).
Low partial pressure caused by high altitude, hypoventilation, diffusion effect,
or V/Q mismatch.
