11. Terminology • Pathology – focus on physical changes in diseased organs and tissues • Pathophysiology – abnormal functioning of diseased organs and how it applies to medical treatment and patient care

12. Disease – loss of homeostasis, or when physical or mental capacities cannot be fully utilized (interuption, cessation or disorder in the function of an organ or system). Etiology = cause of the disease When the etiology is unknown, the disease is said to be idiopathic.

13. Categories of etiology • Genetic disease– genes are responsible for a structural or functional defect • Congenital disease– genetic information is intact, but the intrauterine environment interferes with normal development • Acquired disease – disease is caused by factors encountered after birth (biological agents, physical forces, and chemical agents)

14. Clinical manifestations – indications that the person is sick Symptoms – unobservable effects of a disease reported by the patient Signs – observable or measurable traits Syndrome - a characteristic combination of signs and symptoms associated with a particular disease.

15. Pathogenesis - sequence of events in the of development of a disease Sequelae – lesions or impairments resulting from a disease Acute conditions – rapid onset, develop quickly, usually of short duration Chronic conditions – longer duration onset may be sudden or insidious

16. Distribution of lesions may be: Local – confined to one area of the body Systemic – widely distributed throughout the body Within an organ damage can be: Focal if there are only one or more distinct sites of damage Diffuse if the damage is uniformly distributed

17. Diagnosis – identification of the specific disease Therapy – the treatment of the disease to either effect a cure or reduce the patient’s signs and symptoms Prognosis – prediction of a disease’s outcome

18. Normal Functioning of Eukaryotic Cells

19. Boundary – Cell membrane(plasma membrane) Composed of lipid molecules in bilayer Phospholipids have hydrophobic tail Phospholipids have hydrophilic heads Also contains embedded proteins proteins are important for cell-cell communication: receptors for hormones cell recognition also important for metabolic processes inside the cell: channels pumps enzymes

22. Cytoplasm Cytosol – aqueous gel-like medium Important metabolic processes occur here Organelles – membrane bound structures Membranes provide compartments for separation of chemical reactions

23. NucleusDNA codes for proteins

24. Rough Endoplasmic ReticulumContains ribosomes – make proteins

26. Smooth ERsynthesizes phospholipidsdetoxifies

27. Golgi ApparatusPackages protein for export

29. MitochondriaThe cell’s power plant

30. Cellular respiration

32. Vesicles “sacs” that hold molecules within a cell lysosomes –digestive enzymes molecules to be exported

33. Inclusions Temporary structures • ribosomes • filaments – cytoskeleton – protein strands • other molecules without membranes: • melanin • lipids, etc.

34. Tissues Made up of cells with common function Four major tissue types: 1. Epithelial covering and lining interacts with the body’s environment glandular tissue

37. 2. Connective tissue Important to structure , support and protection 3. Nervous tissue Made up of neurons and supporting (glial) cells receives info from outside (or inside) the body processes information acts on the information through muscles, glands, etc.

38. Muscle • Important to movement • Three types • Skeletal • Smooth • Cardiac

42. Cells change to adapt to their environment • Atrophy = shrinkage = decrease in cell size. • Due to : • decreased use • decreased blood supply • decreased nutrition • Of tissues or organs may be due to • cell shrinkage or due to cell death.

43. Hypertrophy = increase in cell size We'll see this in heart, kidney (and others) w/ pathology NOT due to increased cell volume or fluid Rather, due to increased protein synthesis within the cell, or decreased protein breakdown Result is increased protein in organelles Hyperplasia = increase in cell number Due to increased cell division Uterus and breast tissue Parathyroid gland in kidney failure Liver (compensatory hyperplasia)

44. Metaplasia = replacement of one cell type with another • Reversible • An example: ciliated columnar epithelium replaced by • stratified squamous epithelium

45. Dysplasia = change in cell resulting in abnormal cell size, shape or organization • We'll see this in respiratory tract, cervix w/ pathology • In mature cells only • Immature cells would be expected to change in size, shape as they grow and mature • Considered a reversible change • Neoplasia = associated with a malignant tumor

46. Intracellular accumulations • Buildup of substances the cell can’t use or dispose of. • Normal body substances • Abnormal products from inside the body (inborn errors of metabolism) • Substances from outside the body (transient or permanent)

47. Cellular injury – cell unable to maintain homeostasis • Causes of cell injury: • Deficiency – lack of a substance necessary to the cell • Intoxication or poisoning – presence of a toxin or substance that interferes with cell functioning • Trauma – physical injury and loss of cell’s structural integrity

48. Deficiencies: Deficiency in oxygen most important

49. Hypoxia = deficiency in oxygen at cell Due to : Decreased oxygen in air Decreased hemoglobin or decreased oxygen transported to cells Diseases of the respiratory and/or cardiovascular system

50. Important to cell because of oxidative phosphorylation, which results in the production of ATP Oxidative: need oxygen to produce ATP ATP: needed by cell for metabolism, cell life
