    Study Notes

    Introduction to Pathophysiology

    • Focuses on the functional changes resulting from disease or syndromes.

    Cellular Adaptation

    • Hypertrophy: Refers to an increase in cell size, often seen in conditions such as cardiac hypertrophy caused by hypertension.
    • Hyperplasia: Involves an increase in cell number, exemplified by endometrial hyperplasia, which can occur due to hormonal changes.
    • Atrophy: Represents a decrease in both cell size and number, commonly observed in muscle atrophy resulting from disuse or immobilization.
    • Metaplasia: Indicates a transformation in cell type, such as squamous metaplasia in the respiratory tract due to the irritative effects of smoking.

    Inflammation

    • Acute inflammation: The body's immediate response to injury or infection, marked by signs of redness, heat, swelling, and pain.
    • Key players in acute inflammation: Include neutrophils (first responders), macrophages (clean up and orchestrate response), and histamines (mediators of vasodilation and increased permeability).
