Study Notes
Inadequate Oxygen and Nutrients
- Inadequate oxygen or nutrients to an organ may cause pathological atrophy
- Physiological hypertrophy occurs when an organ grows in response to increased demands, such as skeletal muscles growing in response to exercise
Cell Changes
- Metaplasia is the change of one adult cell type to another
- Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ
- Dysplasia is abnormal cell growth or development
- Apoptosis is programmed cell death
Skin
- Melanin helps prevent UV radiation from damaging deep structures of the skin
- Melanoma is the most deadly skin cancer
- Eczema is a skin condition that can be caused by allergies, and its exact cause is not fully understood
Blood and Circulation
- High blood pressure can force water out of capillary walls, leading to edema
- The percentage of red blood cells in a sample of blood is known as the hematocrit
- Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that helps control parasitic infections
- Myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) result from obstruction of blood flow to the heart muscle
Heart and Lungs
- Dysrhythmia is an abnormal heartbeat
- Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart each minute
- Residual volume is the volume of gas remaining in the lungs after a maximum expiration
- Pulmonary embolism is a blockage of an artery in the lungs, often caused by immobility
Kidneys and Urine
- Glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption are the two ways substances are removed from the blood and added to the forming urine
- Glomerular filtration decreases when blood pressure decreases and increases when blood pressure increases
Hormones and Glands
- Cortisol increases blood sugar levels
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland to release hormones
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal glands to release hormones
- Cushing's syndrome is a condition where too much ACTH is produced
Diabetes and Endocrine Disorders
- Diabetes mellitus is a condition where the body produces too much or too little insulin
- Target cells are unresponsive to insulin in type II diabetes
- Diabetic neuropathy is a common long-term effect of diabetes
- Acromegaly is a condition where too much growth hormone is produced
Blood and Oxygen
- Pulse oximetry measures oxygen levels in the blood
- Low oxygen levels can cause cyanosis, characterized by blue-tinged lips and fingers
Other Conditions
- Cirrhosis of the liver can be caused by excessive alcohol consumption
- Chronic renal failure can contribute to anemia due to decreased production of erythropoietin
- Pulmonary oedema is caused by a blockage of an artery in the lungs
- A blocked vein can cause oedema due to fluid buildup
