What is the difference between Congenital and Hereditary?
9
CongenitalIn utero
Maternal infections, radiation, trauma or drugs
Usually cannot be recognized before birth
10
Hereditary Genetically transmitted from either parent to
childGenetic testing can detect these before birth
InterventionTerminate pregnancyMake decisions
46 chromosomes44 automsomal 2 are X and Y XY XX

Inflammatory DiseasesWhat is inflammatory disease?
Body’s reaction to a injurious agent
Primary causes Invasion by microorganisms
Infective diseases Poisoning by biologic substances
Toxic diseases
Overreaction of body’s own defenses Toxic diseases
12
4 Stages of Inflammation1) Alterations of blood flow and vascular
permeaabilityDilation of arterioles, capillaries and venulesProduces increased blood flow around injury siteCauses heat, redness and pain
2) Migration of WBC to injured tissueLeukocytosis occursMainly leuckocytes such as neutrophils and
macrophages
13
4 Stages of Inflammation3) Phagocytosis
WBC engulf and digest infecting organisms
4) Repair of injuryRegeneration of normal cellsGranuation tissue
14
InflammationChronic inflammation:
Damage caused by an injurious agent may not result in necrosis
Longer duration of inflammation periods
Acute inflammation:HeatRedness of skinSwellingPainLoss of functionElevated body temperature

Localized EdemaInflammatory Process Lymph obstruction
21
Generalized
Edema•Usually occurs form CHF, cirrhosis and many renal diseases
•Gravity causes it to be more prominent in lower body•Sedentary persons
•Lower back•Lungs •Sacral area
22
Traumatic
Disease that may result from mechanical forces such as crushing or twisting of a body part or from the effects of ionizing radiation on the body
FractureWoundBruise/contusion
NeoplasticDefined as: new abnormal tissue growth
Come from latin word “neoplasia” meaning new growth
Abnormal proliferation that are not governed by laws of normal cellsCell act as parasites competing with normal cells
for their metabolic needs
Onocology- study of neoplasmsDerived from greek word “oncos” which means
tumor24
All tumors have 2 basic components
1) The organ tissue is made up of proliferating neoplastic cells
2) The supporting tissue is made up of connective tissue, blood vessels and possibly lymphatic cells.
25
Grading (Differentiation)Used to assess biologic behavior and choice
of treatment
Differentiated tumorsTend to grow slowResemble cells of origin
Poorly differentiated or undifferentiatedRapid growthExhibits atypical characteristics and does not
resemble cells of origin26
TNM SystemStaging of cancer
TNM system emerged in 1950s and endorsed by AJCCT—TumorN—Node (lymph node involvement)M—Metastases
Addition of numbers indicates the extent of malignancy and progressive increase in size or involvement of tumor
Tumor Word Roots
28
Benign NeoplasmsClosely resemble their cells of origin in structure
and functionRemain localizedCan be surgically removed
Can still have severe consequencesEX:
Pituitay tumore can cause pressure and destruction of gland
Pancreas- excessive insulin can be fatalBrain and spinal cord- impair or alter CNS functionTrachea / esophagus- occlude air supply or
swallowing 29
Benign TumorsConsist of differentiated cells
Add suffix OMA to root word
Examples:FibromasChondromasAdenomaLipomasMyomasAngiomas
30
Malignant NeoplasmsInvade and destroy adjacent structures
MetastasizePoorly or undifferentiated so it may be
impossible to determine origin
Cancer comes from the latin word crab, because it has fingerlike projections that resemble crablike claws
31
Malignant Neoplasms
Carcinomas- epithelial originAffects epithelial cells, skin and mucus
membranesComes from greek word “karkinos” which means
crab
Adenocarcinoma- malignancies from glandular tissuebreast, liver, pancreas, and cells lining the GI
tract32
Malignant Neoplasms Cont.Squamous cell carcinoma- tumors of
connective tissueResemble stratified squamous epitheliaLungs, head and neck regions
Sarcomas- connective tissueHighly malignant and spread rapidlyBone, muscle, and cartilageLess common than carcinomas
33
Metastatic Methods 41) Seeding- travels to distant sites and organs
2) Lymphatic-Spreads through lymphatic system 1) Especially lung and breast2) major metastatic route of carcinomas
3) Invasion1. Spreads to other areas in close proximity
34
Metastatic Methods cont.4) Hematogenous- spreads through circulatory system
Tumor cells invade and penetrate blood vesselsTravel as emboli until they get stuckInvade wall in the vessel they are stuck Infiltrate to surrounding tissue
ExamplesAbdominal carcinomas metastasize to liver
Because of flow of the portal vein blood to that organ
Midline organs spread to vertebrae
Neoplasms in organs that drain into inferior & superior vena cava, such as kidneys spread to lung
35
CarcinogensChemicals that alter DNA
Air and water pollutionCigarette smokeAsbestos
Sun, bombs, and radiation
Viruses that alter genetic material
36
Treatment OptionsSurgical removal
Well localized tumors with no metastases
Radiation TherapyFast growing Poorly or undifferentiated tumors
ChemotherapyCytotoxic substances used to kill neoplastic cellsKills good cells to causing significant
complications
37
DegenerativeDegenerative—Disease caused by a
deterioration of the body May occur following traumatic injury,
regardless of age
May occur as a hereditary illnessProcess of aging
Factors affecting the rate of agingHereditaryDietEnviromental factorsSedentary lifestyle
Degenerative Diseases
Atherosclerosis
Osteoporosis
Osteoarthritis
39
Metabolic Disease
Disease caused by the disturbance of the normal physiologic function of the body
Metabolism is the sum of all physical & chemical processes in the bodyTo functionMaintain homeostasis
Metabolic DiseaseEndocrine disorders
Hypersecretion Insufficient secretion
Fluid and Electrolyte imbalances
Dehydration Insufficient water Loss of too much water
Can occur from: Vomiting Diarrhea Diuretics Athletic (very hard training)
