    Study Notes

    Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

    • Occurs as an adaptation in the heart to manage increased workload.

    Atrophy Characteristics

    • Primary characteristic of atrophy is decrease in cell size and function.

    Uterine Hypertrophy

    • The main cause of hypertrophy in the uterus is increased estrogen levels during pregnancy.

    Hyperplasia Characteristics

    • Key characteristic of hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells, often in response to a stimulus.

    Atrophy Types

    • Type of atrophy associated with inadequate nutrition and cachexia is termed nutritional atrophy.

    Results of Hypertrophy

    • Main result of hypertrophy is an increase in tissue or organ size, enhancing functional capacity.

    Reversible Cell Change

    • Adaptation involving reversible change from one adult cell type to another is known as metaplasia.
    • Primary cause of atrophy related to decreased workload is disuse, leading to muscle atrophy.

    Cellular Adaptation Processes

    • Cells modulate their environment using adaptive processes to potentially escape injury and maintain homeostasis.

    Biochemical Mechanisms of Atrophy

    • Biochemical mechanisms associated with atrophy include decreased protein synthesis, increased protein degradation, and activated autophagy.
