Study Notes
Physiological Hyperplasia
-
Occurs in response to hormonal stimulation or increased workload.
-
Examples include enlargement of the uterus during pregnancy and increased muscle mass in athletes.
Labile Cells
-
Capable of cell division and can undergo hyperplastic growth.
-
Hyperplasia can be physiological or pathological.
Physiological Hyperplasia Examples
- Hormonal: Includes uterus enlargement, blood vessel, kidney, lung, and gastric mucosa growth.
Hyaline Change
-
A homogeneous, pinkish alteration observed in sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E).
-
Can be intracellular or extracellular.
Intracellular Hyaline Change Examples
-
Hyaline droplets within renal tubular epithelium in cases of proteinuria.
-
Russell bodies in plasma cells.
