A report comes back indicating that muscular atrophy has occurred. A nurse recalls that muscular atrophy involves a decrease in muscle cell: a. number b. size c. vacuoles d. lipofuscin - Answer-B. Size During childhood, the thymus decreases in size, and this is referred to as what type of atrophy? a. Physiologic b. Pathologic c. Disuse d. Neurogenic - Answer-A. Physiologic When planning care for a cardiac patient, the nurse knows that in response to an increased workload, cardiac myo...

E. Cells decrease in size P. Still functional; imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation. Essentially there is an increase in the catabolism of intracellular organelles, reducing structural components of cell Physiologic: thymus gland in early childhood Pathological: disuse (muscle atrophy d/ decrease workload, pressure, use, blood supply, nutrition, hormonal stimulation, or nervous stimulation) - Atrophy E: cells increase in number, mitosis (cell division) must occur, size of c...

Differences b/w dysplasia, hyperplasia, physiological (6 q) a. Dysplasia = deranged growth immature cells of a specific tissue that results in atypical cells (cells vary in size, shape, and appearance) i. often a precursor of cancer (ex. cervical dysplasia – cells start to change + become precancerous or cancerous) ii. * Google: Dysplasia refers to an abnormality in the maturation of cells within a tissue; consists of an increase in immature cells with a corresponding decrease in mature...

Adaptive cellular mechanisms function to: a. treat disease b. protect cells from injury c. prevent cellular aging d. speed up cellular death - b. protect cells from injury Adaptive cellular mechanisms help cells adjust to environmental changes, thus protecting them from injury Cellular atrophy involves: a. an increase in cell size b. a decrease in cell size c. an increase in the number of cells d. a decrease in the number of cells - b. a decrease in the number of cells. An individual...

The patient is found to have liver disease, resulting in the remov...

What is Apoptosis? - A programmed cell death What is necrosis? - Death of most or all of the cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury, or failure of the blood supply. Characteristics of tissue necrosis - 1) Rapid loss of of the plasma membrane structure 2) Organelle swelling 3) Mitochondrial dysfunction Hypoxia - What is the #1 major cause of cellular injury leading to necrosis. (especially the kidney and heart) What is hypertrophy? - Is an increase in the size of cells Physi...
