Study Notes
Retrogressive Changes
- Decrease in size of normal mature tissue/organ
- Types
- Developmental Changes - Aplasia - Incomplete or defective development of tissue/organ bearing no resemblance to the adult structure - Agenesis - Complete non-appearance of the organ - Hypoplasia - Failure of organ to reach its adult size due to incomplete development - Atresia - Failure of an organ to form an opening
- Atrophy - Physiologic Atrophy - Natural, due to aging - Pathologic Atrophy - Due to disease
Progressive Changes
- Hypertrophy - Increase in size of tissues/organs due to increase in size of individual cells
- Types - True Hypertrophy - Due to increased workload and endocrine stimulation - False Hypertrophy - Due to edema fluid and connective tissue proliferation - Compensatory Hypertrophy - Occurs when one of the paired organs has been removed or functional insufficiency
- Hyperplasia - Increase in size due to increase in number of cells
- Types - Physiologic Hyperplasia - Natural - Pathologic Hyperplasia - Due to disease
Degenerative Changes
- Metaplasia - Replacement of one type of cell to another
- Adaptation to chronic injury/irritation
- Reversible, prone to malignancy
-
Dysplasia - "Disordered growth"
- Variation in size, shape and orientation associated with chronic inflammation and protracted irritation
- Anaplasia - Regressive change in adult's cells towards a more primitive or embryonic cell type
- Utilized as a criterion towards malignancy
- Neoplasia - Continuous abnormal proliferation of cells without control
