Types of cellular adaptation
The types of cellular adaptation include hypertrophy, atrophy, hyperplasia, & metaplasia.
A. Hypertrophy
Hypertrophy is increase in the size of cells. Increased workload leads to increased protein synthesis & increased size & number of intracellular organelles which, in turn, leads to increased cell size. The increased cell size leads to increased size of the organ.
Examples: the enlargement of the left ventricle in hypertensive heart disease & the increase in skeletal muscle during sternous exercise.
B. Hyperplasia
Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells. It can lead to an increase in the size of the organ. It is usually caused by hormonal stimulation. It can be physiological as in enlargement of the breast during pregnancy or it can pathological as in endometrial hyperplasia.
C. Atrophy
Atrophy is a decrease in the size of a cell. This can lead to decreased size of the organ. The atrophic cell shows autophagic vacuoles which contain cellular debris from degraded organelles.
Atrophy can be caused by:
1. Disuse
2. Undernutrition
3. Decreased endocrine stimulation
4. Denervation
5. Old age
D. Metaplasia
Metaplasia is the replacement of one differentiated tissue by another differentiated tissue. There are different types of metaplasia. Examples include:
1. Squamous metaplasia
This is replacement of another type of epithelium by squamous epithelium. For example, the columnar epithelium of the bronchus can be replaced by squamous epithelium in cigarette smokers
2. Osseous metaplasia
This replacement of a connective tissue by bone, for example at sites of injury.
