Term
What is hypertrophy?
Definition
- increased growth
- all cells can do this
Term
What is hyperplasia?
Definition
- cell division
- only labile and stable cells
Term
What are examples of permanent cells?
Definition
- neurons
- cardiac muscle cell
- skeletal muscle cell
Term
What are examples of stable cells?
Definition
- fibroblasts
- smooth muscle cell
- some epithelial cells
Term
What are examples of labile cells?
Definition
- epithelial cells of skin
- epithelial cells of the intestine
- bone marrow stem cells
Term
What does labile mean?
Definition
- being continuously replaced
Term
What is the primary response of skin cells?
Definition
- hyperplasia
Term
True or false: stable cells can be induced to undergo hyperplasia by a stimulus
Definition
TRUE
Term
When cells are injured, what does their response depend on?
Definition
- inherent ability to duplicate
- type of cell
Term
What is the G1 stage of the cell cycle?
Definition
- first stage of growth cycle
- develops all components to divide
Term
What occurs in the S phase of the cell cycle?
Definition
-DNA synthesis occurs
Term
What is the M phase of the cell cycle?
Definition
- mitotic
- cell divides
Term
How is the cell cycle regulated?
Definition
- growth factors
- hormones
- cytokines
Term
What part of the body does Epidermal Growth Factor regulate?
Definition
- skin cells
Term
What part of the body does vascular endothelial growth factor regulate?
Definition
- cells that line blood vessels
Term
How are embryonic and adult stem cells different?
Definition
- embryonic = can develop any tissue they want
- adult = have limit to how they can differentiate
Term
What is the macroscopic description of cell death?
Definition
- necrosis
Term
What are the three types of necrosis?
Definition
- coagulative (i.e gangrene)
- liquifactive (i.e pus, abscess)
- caseous (i.e dry, crumbly appearance)
Term
What are some examples of histological descriptors?
Definition
- swelling (i.e cellular swelling, fatty change)
- shrinkage (i.e apoptosis)
- autophagy
- oncosis
Term
What is apoptosis?
Definition
- cell shrinkage
- caspase induced proteolysis
Term
What is autophagy?
Definition
- self-destruction of cells
- autophagosomes formed
- fuse with lysosomes
Term
What is oncosis?
Definition
- loss of membrane function
- cell swells due to membrane function
Term
What are examples of accidental cell death?
Definition
- trauma
- freezing
- burns

What is extrinsic cellular aging?
Definition
- lifetime wear and tear
- oxygen derived free radicals
