    Study Notes

    Cell Injury and Response

    • Reversible response to cell injury: cellular adaptation
    • Physiological cause of hyperplasia: increased demand or stimuli

    Cell Death

    • Main difference between necrosis and apoptosis: necrosis is uncontrolled and apoptosis is controlled
    • Type of necrosis characterized by transformation of solid tissue into a liquid mass and complete digestion of dead cells: liquefactive necrosis
    • Type of necrosis characterized by a distinctive cheesy, crumbly, white gross appearance and commonly associated with tuberculous infection: caseous necrosis
    • Type of necrosis characterized by preservation of cell shape and organ structure, with disappearance of nuclei: coagulative necrosis
    • Type of necrosis associated with necrotic damage to blood vessel walls and often occurs in the context of vasculitis: fibrinoid necrosis

    Cellular Adaptation

    • Example of metaplasia: replacement of one type of epithelium with another
    • Cause of cell injury: genetic mutation, infection, toxins, etc.

    Irreversible Cellular Injury

    • Consequence of irreversible cellular injury: cell death or necrosis

    Membrane Damage

    • Role of free radicals in membrane damage: disrupts membrane structure and function

    Acute Inflammation

    • Characteristic of acute inflammation: rapid onset, short duration
    • Two major events in acute inflammation: increased blood flow and increased permeability
    • Five classic signs of acute inflammation: redness, swelling, heat, pain, and loss of function
    • Characteristic of exudate: fluid rich in protein and cells
    • Function of neutrophils' tertiary granules: antibacterial properties
    • Role of reactive oxygen species in neutrophils: bactericidal effects
    • Function of vasoactive amines: regulate blood flow and permeability

    Cell Division

    • Type of cell division that gives rise to sperm and egg cells: meiosis
    • Chromosome number in diploid human cells: 46

    Inheritance Patterns

    • Inheritance pattern characterized by the interaction of several genes: polygenic inheritance
    • Type of inheritance that is not Mendelian: polygenic inheritance
    • Difference between multi-gene (polygenic) defects and Mendelian inheritance patterns: multiple genes contribute to the phenotype in polygenic inheritance
    • Process responsible for generating genetic diversity in Meiosis I: crossing over
    • End result of DNA replication: two identical daughter molecules

    Miscellaneous

    • Term used to describe the physical appearance of an organism based on its genetic constitution: phenotype
