10.1 Flashcards
They commonly infect the gastrointestinal tract and can cause a wide range of illnesses, including mild respiratory infections, hand, foot, and mouth disease (caused by coxsackievirus), viral meningitis, and myocarditis.
Enteroviruses
A highly regulated process by which cells undergo self-destruction in a controlled manne
Apoptosis
form of cell death that is typically associated with pathological processes and involves cellular swelling, rupture, and inflammation
Necrosis
often occurs in cells that are dysfunctional, damaged, or no longer needed by the body
Apoptosis.
Nucleus is impacted early in process. What cell death
Apoptosis
Nucleus is impacted late in process. What cell death
Necrosis
passive and uncontrolled form of cell death
Necrosis
This type of necrosis is characterized by the preservation of tissue architecture but loss of cellular structure.
Coagulative necrosis
This type of necrosis is often seen in ischemic injury, such as myocardial infarction, where the affected tissue becomes pale and firm
Coagulative necrosis
This type of necrosis results in the dissolution of tissue, leading to the formation of a liquid-filled cavity
Liquefactive necrosis
This type of necrosis is commonly seen in areas of bacterial infection, such as abscesses, where immune cells release enzymes that degrade tissue
Liquefactive necrosis
This type of necrosis is characterized by the formation of a soft, cheese-like necrotic material
Caseous Necrosis
This type of necrosis is often seen in granulomatous diseases, such as tuberculosis, where the immune system walls off infected tissue to prevent the spread of infection
Caseous Necrosis
This type of necrosis typically occurs in extremities (such as toes or fingers) and is characterized by dry or wet gangrene
Gangrenous necrosis
results from ischemia without bacterial infection, leading to tissue mummification
Dry gangrene
