Nurs 5315: Adv Patho Exam 1E. Cells decrease in sizeP. Still functional; imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation. Essentiallythere is an increase in the catabolism of intracellular organelles, reducing structuralcomponents of cellPhysiologic: thymus gland in early childhoodPathological: disuse (muscle atrophy d/ decrease workload, pressure, use, blood supply,nutrition, hormonal stimulation, or nervous stimulation)-AtrophyE: cells increase in number, mitosis (cell division) must occur, size of cell does notchangePhys: increased rate ofdivision, increase in tissue mass after damage or partialresection; may be compensatory, hormonal, or pathologicPatho: abnormal proliferation of normal cells usually caused by increased hormonalstimulation (endometrial). increase of production of localgrowth factorsEx: removal of part of the liver lead to hyperplasia of hepatocytes. uterine or mammarygland enlargement during pregnancy-HyperplasiaE.
