    Study Notes

    Cellular Adaptation

    • Cells adapt to stressors, including physical agents, chemical agents, microorganisms, hypoxia, genetic defects, nutritional imbalances, and immunologic reactions.
    • Adaptations are reversible changes that allow cells to survive under adverse conditions.

    Types of Cellular Injury

    • Reversible cell injury can be reversed if the stimulus or cause is removed.
    • Ischemia, a lack of blood supply, is a common cause of reversible cell injury.
    • Irreversible cell injury is not correctable, even after the stimulus is removed.
    • Infarction is localized tissue death due to lack of blood supply.
    • Necrosis is cell or tissue death with structural evidence.
    • Apoptosis is programmed cell death, also known as "clean" cell suicide, occurring in pathologic situations.

    Genetic Control of Cell Function and Inheritance

    • Nucleus contains chromosomes, genetic information carriers.
    • Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes: 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome pair.
    • DNA is a long, double-stranded helical structure composed of nucleotides.
    • A gene is a DNA segment containing information for coding proteins and enzymes vital for cell function.

    Genetic and Chromosomal Disorders

    • Genetic disorders are caused by changes in gene function or chromosomal structure.
    • Single gene disorders are caused by mutations in a single gene.
    • Autosomal dominant disorders require one mutated gene copy for manifestation, with a 50% inheritance chance from an affected parent.
    • Autosomal recessive disorders require two mutated gene copies to manifest, with parents often being carriers.
    • Sex-linked inheritance disorders are always linked to the X chromosome.
    • Chromosome disorders involve changes in chromosome number or structure.
    • Monosomy X (Turner's syndrome) involves only one X chromosome.
    • Polysomy X (Klinefelter's syndrome) involves an extra X chromosome in males.
    • Trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome) involves an extra copy of chromosome 21.

    Neoplasia - Terminology

    • Neoplasia refers to abnormal, uncontrolled cell growth.
    • Tumors are masses of abnormal cells.
    • Benign tumors are non-invasive and usually do not spread.
    • Malignant tumors are invasive, can spread (metastasize), and are cancerous.

    Differentiating between Benign and Malignant Tumors

    • Benign tumors:
      • Grow slowly.
      • Usually well-defined and encapsulated.
      • Do not metastasize.
      • Often named by adding "-oma" to the tissue type.
    • Malignant tumors (cancers):
      • Grow rapidly.
      • Invade surrounding tissues.
      • Metastasize.
      • Often named by adding "-carcinoma" for epithelial origin and "-sarcoma" for mesenchymal origin.

    Cancer and Carcinogenesis Process

    • Carcinogenesis is the process of cancer development.
    • It typically involves multiple genetic mutations.
    • Key steps in carcinogenesis include initiation, promotion, progression, and metastasis.

    Pathophysiology of the Malignant Process

    • Malignant cells have abnormal growth, differentiation, and metabolism.
    • They invade surrounding tissues and can metastasize to distant sites.
    • Cancer cells often express abnormal proteins and antigens.

    Tumor Staging and Grading

    • Tumor staging describes the extent of cancer spread.
    • Tumor grading assesses the degree of differentiation and aggressiveness of cancer cells.
    • The TNM system is a widely used staging system, considering tumor size (T), node involvement (N), and metastasis (M).
