🔬 Pathology
Intracellular Accumulations
- Describe the three general pathways responsible for abnormal intracellular accumulations.
- Describe the causes, mechanisms, morphology and consequences of lipid accumulation, including steatosis.
- Describe the causes, mechanisms, morphology and consequences of protein accumulation.
- Describe the causes, mechanisms, morphology and consequences of glycogen accumulation.
Steatosis
- Define steatosis.
- Describe its causes and mechanisms.
- Explain its morphology and consequences.
The separate KMU steatosis objectives and the lipid-accumulation objectives have been deliberately consolidated here because they assess the same core pathological process rather than being duplicated as separate AIM content.
Pathological Pigments
- Describe the major types of pigments.
- Differentiate between endogenous and exogenous pigments.
Pathologic Calcification
- Define pathologic calcification.
- Describe the types, morphology and functional alterations of pathologic calcification with examples.
Differentiate between dystrophic and metastatic calcification.
