Atrophy decrease in size,shrinkage
Polyploidy 3-4 times the amount of chromosomes, incompatible with survival
T N M system T= tumor N= lymph nodes affected M= metastisis
Dysplasia abnormal size,shape or organization- most commonly in cervix
Hypertrophy increase in size
Sarcomas connective tissues
Anoxia total deprivation of O2-suffication,strangulation,drowning, chemical
Hyperplasia increase in number of cells
Leukemia Blood forming cells,bone marrow
Naming cancer Oma= Benign Malignant= from stating tissue
Non-disjunction failure of homologus pair to seperate during meiosis/mitosis
Autosomal aneuploidy Trisomy 21- down syndrome
Non-carcinogenic causes of cancer Virus= HBV,HCV,EBV,HPV,HTLV1 Bacteria= H.Pylori Chronic inflammation= immune respose
Apoptosis programmed cell death= cell suicide
teratocarcinomas germ cells
Hypotonic more dilute, less concentrated = cells shrink
Hypoxic Deprivation of O2
Carcinomas epithelial tissue ex.= Squamous cell, Adenocarcinoma
Carcinoma in Situ confined malignant cells, no penetration of basement membrane
causes of Edema 1)increase cap. hydrostatic pressure 2)decrease plasma oncotic pressure 3)increase cap. permeability 4) lymphatic obstruction
Manifestations of cancer pain, fatigue, muscle weakness, cachexia, anemia, infection
Hypertonic less dilute,more concentrated, cells swell
ABG analysis if high CO2,low pH= R. acidosis if low CO2, high pH= R.alkalosis normal CO2= pH accordingly
Spread of cancer Vascular and lymphatic pathways
EKG changes in Kalemias Hypo= shallow THyper= tall T
