1. “My doctor said I have a fat liver!” shouts Mr. Jabbe. “I’d like to punch him right in his mouth. He keeps nagging me too!” Before you respond to Mr. Jabbe, you should consider what pathophysiological process may be occurring and why Mr. Jabbe might be so angry. Which of the following is the most likely?
a. Liver hyperplasia from excessive drug metabolism; the doctor may have tried to discuss illicit drug use.
b. Fat necrosis from liver abscess (infection); the doctor may have tried to discuss the need for an operation.
c. Fatty change from excessive alcohol use; the doctor may have tried to discuss reducing his alcohol intake.
d. Atrophied liver after damage from hepatitis; the doctor may have tried to discuss the possibility of death.
2. Which of the following cell changes during ischemia is potentially reversible if the blood flow is restored?
a. Lipid accumulation
b. Leakage of lysosomal enzymes
c. Cell swelling
d. Autodigestion
3. “I don’t understand!” says Mr. Lilly. “My cardiologist said my left ventricle has enlarged due to hypertrophy, but my family doctor said my enlarged prostate gland is enlarged from hyperplasia. Are those two different words for the same process?” Choose the best response.
a. Yes, hypertrophy and hyperplasia are the same process, but hypertrophy occurs in muscle and hyperplasia occurs in glands.
b. Yes, hypertrophy and hyperplasia are the same process, which happens when an organ needs to do more work or is stimulated by hormones.
c. No, hypertrophy and hyperplasia are two different processes, but hypertrophy occurs more frequently in postmitotic tissues and hyperplasia occurs in mitotic tissues.
d. No, hypertrophy and hyperplasia are two different processes, but they both can arise when an organ needs to do more work or is stimulated by hormones.
Solution
Answer:
1) c. Fatty change from excessive alcohol use; the doctor may have tried to discuss reducing his alcohol intake.
Fatty liver means, the accumulation of the fattyacids in the liver. due to this condition, liver cannot filter the fat, so the person becomes fat or overweight. to avoid fatty liver, regular exercise or physical activity and avoiding of the alcohol is necessary.
2) c. Cell swelling
Ischemia is an abnormality caused due to blocking of the blood vessels. due to this condition the supply of blood is stoped. when blood supply is restored, the swelling of blood vessels takes place.
3) a. Yes, hypertrophy and hyperplasia are the same process, but hypertrophy occurs in muscle and hyperplasia occurs in glands.
Hyperplasia leads to increase in organ tissue due to extensive cell division, whereas expanson of muscle (increase in size) is known as Hypertrophy
