- 1. Disturbances in Growth Dr Deepak Kumar Assistant Professor Department of Veterinary Pathology Bihar Veterinary College, Patna -14 Bihar Animal Sciences University Patna
- 2. Disturbances in Growth • The disturbances in growth cover a broader spectrum of changes from no growth to uncontrolled growth. • While uncontrolled growth (neoplasm) is dealt separately, the other forms of growth disturbances are considered in this chapter. • Cells may fail to develop or adapt to changing environment or physiological or pathological stimuli.
- 3. Disturbances in Growth • Aplasia - is the complete failure of an organ to develop. • Agenesis - is the complete absence of an organ or lack of specific cells within an organ (e.g., lack of germ cells in “Sertoli cell only syndrome”). • Hypoplasia - is the increase in the size of the tissue or an organ or a part of an organ due to quantitative increase in the number of cells. • Hyperplasia -is an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue that appear normal under a microscope. • Hypertrophy - is the increase in the size of the cells or the organ. The number of the cells doesnot increase. • Atrophy -decrease in size of a body part, cell, organ, or other tissue. • Metaplasia - is the reversible change in which one adult cell type is replaced by another adult cell type of the same germinal layer • Dysplasia - is any of various types of abnormal growth or development of cells.
- 4. Disturbances in Growth • The cells respond to altered physiological or pathological stimuli by adapting themselves. • These changes are reflected as atrophy, hyperplasia, hypertrophy, metaplasia and dysplasia besides aplasia and hypoplasia. • Following an injurious stimulus or to stress, the normal cell’s homeostatic state may respond with cellular injury resulting in either death or adaption. • Hence, the cellular adaptation to the increased demand is a state in between normal and stressed.
- 6. 6 •Absence of any organ APLASIA/AGENESIS
- 7. 7 •Failure of an organ/ tissue to attain its full size HYPOPLASIA Aplasia Hypoplasia Normal
- 8. 8 • Etiology • Congenital anomalies e.g. Hypoplasia of kidneys in calves • Inadequate innervations • Inadequate blood supply • Malnutrition • Infections e.g. cerebral hypoplasia in Bovine viral diarrhoea HYPOPLASIA
- 9. 9 • Macroscopic features • Organ size, weight, volume reduced • Microscopic features • Reduced size of cells • Reduced number of cells • Connective tissue and fat is more HYPOPLASIA
- 10. 10 • Decrease in size of an organ that has reached their full size ATROPHY
- 11. 11 • Etiology • Physiological e.g. senile atrophy • Pressure atrophy • Disuse atrophy e.g. Atrophy of immobilized legs • Endocrine atrophy e.g. Atrophy of testicles • Environmental pollution e.g. Atrophy of lymphoid organs • Inflammation/ fibrosis ATROPHY
- 12. 12 • Macroscopic features • Size, weight, volume of organ decreased • Wrinkles in capsule of organ • Microscopic features • Size of cell is smaller • Cell number is less • Fat and connective tissue cells are more ATROPHY
