20. MBBS + MD Pathology = Pathologist
•Pathotechnologist – Generate report
•Pathologist – Will Validate the report
21. Subdivision of Pathologists
•Experimental pathologists – scientists with (MBBS + MD in
pathology) spending most of their time in research
• Investigate cause and mechanisms of disease

23. Clinical Pathologists
• Analyze various specimens removed from patients, such as blood,
urine, feces, spinal fluid, or sputum for chemical substances,
microorganism, antigens and antibodies, nucleic acids, atypical blood
cells, and coagulation factors

44. Types of cellular adaptations
• Cells are the structural and functional units of tissues and organs.
They are capable of adjusting their structure and functions in
response to various physiological and pathological conditions. This
capability is called cellular adaptation.
• Cellular adaptations include:
1. Atrophy--shrinkage of cells
2. Hypertrophy--increase in the size of cells which results in enlargement of
the organs
3. Hyperplasia--increased number of cells in an organ or tissue
4. Metaplasia--transformation or replacement of one adult cell type with
another
45. 1. Atrophy-
• -shrinkage of cells; classified as:
• Physiologic--due to decreased work load (e.g., decreased size of uterus
following child birth, or disease)
• Pathologic--primarily due to denervation of muscle, diminished blood supply,
nutritional deficiency
46. 2. Hypertrophy-
• Increase in the size of cells which results in enlargement of the organs.
• It is mostly seen in cells that cannot divide, such as:
• skeletal muscle (pumping iron),
• cardiac muscle (hypertension).
• These changes usually revert to normal if the cause is removed.
• Hypertrophy is mediated by different mechanisms.
47. 3. Hyperplasia-
• Increased number of cells in an organ or tissue. Hyperplasia may
sometimes co-exist with hypertrophy. Hyperplasia can be classified
as:
• physiologic--hormonal (e.g., breast and uterus during pregnancy)
• compensatory--regeneration of liver following partial hepatectomy. Various
growth factors and interluekins are important in such hyperplasia.
• pathologic--excessive hormonal stimulation, viral infection (papilloma
viruses); neoplasms
48. 4. Metaplasia-
• Transformation or replacement of one adult cell type to another adult cell type
• (e.g., the change from columnar to squamous cells in respiratory tract, from squamous to columnar
in Barrett esophagitis).
• Metaplasia also occurs in mesenchymal tissue (e.g., formation of bone in skeletal muscle).
• Metaplastic changes usually result from chronic irritation.
• Metaplastic changes seem to precede the development of cancer, in some instances.
• Metaplasia is thought to arise from reprogramming of stem or undifferentiated cells that are
present in adult tissue.

113. Definition: leukocyte chemotaxis the response of leukocytes to products
formed in immunologic reactions, wherein leukocytes are attracted to and
accumulate at the site of the reaction; a part of the inflammatory response.
