Loss of Homeostasis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The loss of homeostatic balance involves the discussion of tissue adaptations, among them decreased stress tolerance (atrophy), increased stress tolerance (tissue injury and death, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, dysplasia, neoplasia, metaplasia), pathological hypertrophic syndromes (cor bovinum, cor pulmonale) and abnormal hypertrophic enlargements of body parts. Other moderate imbalances deal with heloma and callus formation. Major regenerative irregularities will touch upon hepatomegaly and cirrhosis.
