Patho/histo

Specialized skin areas contain these glands.

These are components within the epidermis, not muscle cells.

These physiological processes are interconnected and necessary for maintaining a stable internal environment.

This type of epithelial tissue forms the epidermis, the outer layer of skin.

The nervous system serves as a regulatory system in higher organisms, coordinating and controlling various body functions.

The liver is a vital organ involved in various metabolic processes, but not primarily a hormone producer like endocrine glands.

FSH plays a crucial role in the female reproductive system, stimulating the development and maturation of egg-containing follicles in the ovaries.

These tumors originate from the cells of the anterior pituitary gland, which produces hormones.

The testes, or testicles, are the primary reproductive organs in males, producing sperm cells and testosterone.

The process of spermatogenesis encompasses all stages of sperm cell formation and development.

The parotid gland is a salivary gland, not an accessory gland of the male reproductive system.

This condition commonly affects men over 50, as the prostate gland enlarges, causing urinary symptoms.

Primary hyperparathyroidism arises from an abnormality in the parathyroid glands, often due to a tumor or overactive cells.

The salivary glands are large accessory glands of the digestive system, contributing to saliva production.

As air enters the nasal cavity, it undergoes a series of cleaning processes to remove dust, bacteria, and other particles.

Virchow's triad describes the three main factors contributing to thrombosis, a blood clot formation within a blood vessel.

Hyaline degeneration refers to a reversible cell change characterized by accumulation of a glassy, homogeneous substance within the cell, often a sign of cellular stress.

These specialized cells are resident macrophages found in specific organs and tissues, serving as part of the immune system.

Anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, is characterized by the release of histamine and other mediators, NOT IgG production.

Pulmonary edema, or fluid buildup in the lungs, typically occurs when the left side of the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to congestion.

Metaplasia is a cellular adaptation where one cell type is replaced by another, often as a response to a stressor, but not necessarily a 1:1 replacement.

There is no recognized cancer type called 'adenosarcoma'.

Grading refers to the degree of malignancy or aggressive behavior of a tumor, based on the level of differentiation and growth pattern.

Nicotine is not a known factor in the development of fatty liver disease, which is often associated with excessive alcohol consumption.

Tuberculosis (TBC) and sarcoidosis are examples of proliferative inflammations, which are characterized by excessive cell growth in response to an irritant.

Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by decreased bone density, not an inflammatory process.

An atheroma is a buildup of cholesterol and other substances within the artery wall, contributing to atherosclerosis and not a tumor.

The Nustensche rule states that rigor mortis, the stiffening of muscles after death, progresses from the head to the toes, a predictable pattern.

Diphtheria, a bacterial infection, can cause an oxidative inflammation, a type of inflammation involving the generation of reactive oxygen species.
