Study Notes

Adaptation and Compensation

  • Adaptation is a pathological concept encompassing all vital processes that help organisms interact with and survive in their environments.
  • Compensation is a type of adaptation targeted at diseases that addresses the restoration or correction of damaged functions and structures.
  • Compensation can occur at various levels, from molecules to systems, helping the organism maintain function.
  • There are several compensatory/adaptive processes:

Regeneration

  • Regeneration is the restoration of tissues or organs to their original structure and function after injury or damage.
  • Types of regeneration:
    • Physiological regeneration: occurs in normal physiological conditions, like normal tissue repair.
    • Reparative regeneration: restores tissues damaged by disease or injury.
    • Pathological regeneration: occurs after injury or disease. It involves the processes of cell growth, division, and differentiation to replace the damaged tissue or to restore its original structure.

Hyperplasia

  • Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ.
  • It can be a response to physiological stimulation, such as pregnancy or increased hormone production.
  • It can also be a response to pathological conditions.

Hypertrophy

  • Hypertrophy is an increase in the size of cells in a tissue or organ.
  • It often occurs when the cells are subjected to increased stress or demand, such as increased workload.

Atrophy

  • Atrophy refers to a decrease in the size or function of a cell, tissue, or organ.
  • Types of atrophy include physiological atrophy (occurs naturally) and pathological atrophy (caused by disease or injury).

Metaplasia

  • Metaplasia is a change in the type of cells in a tissue or organ.
  • This can occur as a result of chronic irritation or injury.

Healing by First Intention

  • Healing by first intention, or primary union, involves the direct approximation of wound edges.
  • This process is characterized by minimal scarring and rapid healing.

Healing by Second Intention

  • Healing by second intention involves the healing of wounds with a significant degree of tissue loss.
  • It often results in more extensive scarring compared to healing by first intention.
