Additional Pathology Flashcards

 


 

Cards

Term
Pathophysiology
Definition
the physilogy related to disease
Term
Homeostasis
Definition
the control of the body's biomechanical balance
Term
Lysosome
Definition

Contains catabolic ezymes within the cell

Disposes cell waste and foreign substances

Term
Mitochondria
Definition

Converts carbohydrate, protein, and fat to ATP

-energy 

Term
Causes of Cell Damage
Definition

Physical trauma

Toxins

Infection

Genetic Abnormalities

Malnutrition

Dhydration

Hypoxia

Combinations of these factors

Term
Cellular Responses to Injury/illness
Definition

-Damaged cells either adapt or die

-Damage at the cellular level can lead to tissue damage---can lead to organ damage

 

-atrophy

-hypertrophy

-hyerplasia

-metaplasia

-dysplasia

Term
Tissue Healing
Definition

Damaged tissues heal by either

-regeneration of the original tissue type

-replacement of the original tissue type with connective (scar) tissue

Term
Chronic Inflammation
Definition

-a result of long-term chemical irritation or mechanical stress

-destructive to the cells and tissues

-produces more fibrin and collagen to protect the undamaged tissue or isolate the offending substance

-can prevent/inhibit tissue healing

Term
Chronic inflammation
Definition

-same signs and symptoms of acute inflammation but less intense

-aching pain, pitting edema, mild to moderate muscle spasm, increased local tissue temp

-persists until the cause of cellular damage is removed

Term
Infection
Definition

-Specialized inflammatory response

-cell damage caused by the infectious organism causes inflammation

-activiation of the immune system can also stimulate a gerneralized inflammatory response which is more widespread than with a local tissue wound

Term
Infection
Definition

-activated leukocytes in the blood affect the neurons in the medulla- causes increase in body temp (fever)

 

-involuntary shivering-chills- widespread vasoconstriction, and lying down and flexing the body all occur to increase body temp to a new level

Term
Fever
Definition

increases metabolic demands, which leads to

-hypernea(rapid respiration)

-tachycardia(rapid heart beat)

-catabolism(breakdown of muscle and other tissue, except fat, to obtain energy

Term
Physiological effects of Fever
Definition

unusual fatigue

malaise-feeling bad

weakness

loss of appetite

Term
Fever Break
Definition

once the microorganism has been eliminated the fever breaks

 

to reduce body temp, person

-diaphoresis-sweating

lethargy-extreme drowsiness

extension of the body in supine

Term
osteocytes
Definition

mature bone cells- produced by osteoblasts and resorbed by osteoclasts

 

bone tissue is being constantly resorbed and rebuilt, maintaining a balance in homeostasis

Term
periosteum
Definition

cover of bone

-innervated and vascular structure that provides nutrition to the compact bone

 

 

Term
Cancellous bone
Definition

has own blood supply and contains the bone marrow- either yellow(fatty) of red (produces blood cells)

 

Children: most bones contain red marrow

adults: red marrow only in flat bones

Term
Appropriate environment for fractured bone
Definition

-alignment and approximation of bone ends

-nutrition

-sterility

-stability

Term
Healing of Bone tissue
Definition

inflammatory- 48-72 hours

proliferative- 3-6 weeks

remodeling- 6-24 weeks

Term
Healing of Articular Cartilage
Definition

Significant damage to the AC, subchondral bone, and synovium may require surgical replacement with an artificial joint

 

injuries usually accompanied by subtle joint instability and joint capsule inflammation- arthritis

Term
Treatment of Articular Cartilage
Definition

inflammatory- 48-72 hrs- WB as tolerated, maintain muscular function

proliferative- 6 months- controlled WB activity to stimulate fibrocartilage

remodeling- 2 years- activity as tolerated

Term
Healing of Ligament Tissue
Definition

inflammatory- 48-72 hours- protect/splint

proliferative- 6-8 weeks- active mobilization within limits and activity

remodeling- 12-30 months- activity as tolerated

Term
Skeletal Muscle pathology
Definition

-physical trauma- contusion/strain

-infection-tetanus

-genetic and metabolic disease-MD

 

Term
Cardiac Muscle Pathology
Definition

Metabolic states-ischemia

-infection

-toxins

Term
Healing of muscle tissue
Definition

-damaged muscle cells and tissue replaced by collagen tissue

-more damaged-more scar tissue

-large noncontractile scar within a muscle can be disabling

-sig damage to smooth/cardiac muscle lead to severe impairment/ complete loss of function to associated organ

Term
Treatment of Muscle Injury
Definition

inflammatory-48-72 hrs- protect/ passive of active-assisted mob

proliferative- 4-8 weeks-active muscle recruitment, passive mob

remodeling- 12 weeks- strengthening and accomdation to load

Term
Treatment of Tendon Injury
Definition

-inflammatory- 48-72 hrs-protect/splint

-proliferative-4-6 weeks-active and passive mob

remodeling-12-20 weeks-strengthening and activity 

Term
Nerve Physiology
Definition

all nerve cells contain cell body, dendrites- projections that receive signals from other cells, axons- projectios that send signals to other cells)

 

chemical processes form the electrical impulses within and between cells

 

nerve cells transmit electrical signals that control the movement and normal function

Term
Nerve pathology
Definition

physical trauma

toxins

infections

metabolic imbalances

 

signs of nervous system impairment are often early indications of systemic disease

 

some diseases affect nerve cell function

Term
Healing of Nerve Tissue
Definition

damage to any portion of the nerve cells in the CNS is permanent

 

damage to a nerve's axon in the PNS can heal if the myelin sheath is undamaged

 

axon degenerates distal to the point of injury-- then regenerates inside myelin sheath slowly

Term
healing of nerve
Definition

inflammatory- 2-7 days- med eval, splinting?

proliferative- 1"per year- monitor, periodic sensory and motor testing

remodeling- up to 1 yr- return to normal use, strengthening or other therapy

Term
Mucosa
Definition

gastrointestinal- absorb nutrients, secrete mucous for protection and enzymes for digestion

 

Term
Acinar
Definition
exocrine pancreas- secrete digestive system
Term
islet
Definition
endocrine pancreas- alpha cells secrete glucagon, beta cells secrete insulin
Term
hepatic
Definition
liver-secrete bile, store carbs, form urea, metabolism of cholesteral, lipids, and many drugs and toxins
Term
Renal
Definition
Kidney- regulate fluid, form urine
Term
endocrine
Definition
endocrine glands- secrete regulatory specific hormones
Term
Pathology for specialized cells and tissues
Definition
infection, metabolic change, genetic changes, toxicity, direct physical trauma
