,What is physiologic atrophy? - Answer: occurs in early development. ex: thymus
glad during childhood
What is pathologic atrophy? - Answer: occurs as a result of decreases in workload,
use, pressure, blood supply, nutrition, and hormonal stimulation.
Ex: Shrinking of gonads in an adolescent pt in response to decreased hormonal
stimulation. and an pt immobilized in bed for a prolonged time
what is hypertrophy? - Answer: increase in cell size
Example of beneficial physiologic hypertrophy? - Answer: hypertrophy of
myocardial cells from endurance training

, What is metaplasia? - Answer: replacement of the cells
example of metaplasia - Answer: normal columnar ciliated epithelial cells of the
bronchial lining being replaced by squamous cells. can be reversed if irritant
stopped
cellular metabolism- what molecule gives us energy? - Answer: ATP functions as
the energy-transferring molecule
During ischemia, what effect does the loss of ATP have on the cells? - Answer: a
reduction of ATP levels (ATP needs oxygen) that causes the Na+/K+ pump and
Na+/Ca exchange to fail, leading to intracellular accumulation of Sodium and
calcium and diffusion of K+ out of the cell . Sodium and water can enter cell freely
causing cellular swelling
Apoptosis - Answer: A programmed cell death that is regulated or programmed.
Cellular self-destruction for elimination or unwanted cell populations
Necrosis - Answer: Rapid loss of the plasma membrane structure, organelle
swelling, mitochondria dysfunction
What is the #1 cause of cellular injury leading to necrosis (especially the kidney
and heart) - Answer: hypoxia
