Study Notes

Categories of Accumulated Materials

Accumulated materials are divided into three categories: abnormal accumulation of normal cellular elements, abnormal accumulation of abnormal molecules, and pigment accumulation.

Abnormal Accumulation of Normal Cellular Elements

Lipid and carbohydrate storage diseases fall under this category.

Abnormal Accumulation of Abnormal Molecules

This type of accumulation is caused by defective or absent enzymes that are necessary for breaking down molecules.

Pigment Accumulation

The primary characteristic of pigment accumulation is the accumulation of exogenous or endogenous pigments in cells and tissues.
