LATEST UPDATE
atrophy
(n.) the wasting away of a body organ or tissue; any progressive decline or failure; (v.)
to waste away
hypertrophy
increase in muscle size
Hyperplasia
the enlargement of an organ or tissue because of an abnormal increase in the number
of cells in the tissues
Metaplasia
changing from one type of mature tissue to another
Dyplasia
abnormal development
nercrosis
pathologic death of cells or tissue
Apoptosis
process of programmed cell death
Co
Hypoxia
Low oxygen saturation of the body, not enough oxygen in the blood
Ischemia
, an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body, especially the heart
muscles.
metabolic acidosis
decreased pH in blood and body tissues as a result of an upset in metabolism
Metabolic alkalosis
high pH, high HCO3
Respiratory acidosis
low pH, high CO2
Respiratory alkalosis
Arise in blood pH due to hyperventilation (excessive breathing) and a resulting decrease
in CO2.
Buffer systems
function to convert strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases
ICF intracellular fluids
ECF extracellular fluid
- fluid found outside the cells of the body, constitutes approximately about one third of
total body fluid,
- transporter of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products
- includes: intravascular fluid, interstitial fluid, transcellular fluid
Oncotic pressure
The pressure of water to move, typically into the capillary, as the result of the presence
of plasma proteins.
Osmotic pressure
