What are the three types of regressive tissue changes? |
1. Infiltration 2. Degeneration 3. Athrophy |
|
|
|
What is infiltration? |
When the agent comes in and "takes over" tissue and disrupts cellular metabolism. |
|
|
|
What is degeneration? |
When the agent comes in and disrupts cellular metabolism by breaking down cellular components. (crowds the cell, so it can't work) |
Crowds the cell |
|
|
What is atrophy? |
