no
In ischaemia what is impaired
oxygen + metabolites impaired
What type of blood supply is resistant to infarction
dual blood supply
How long does the brain have
3-4 minutes
Coagulative necrosis occurs why
enzymes cant break down cell structure
liquefactive necrosis is generally seen where
brains
red infarctions occurs where
dual bloody supply
–> Lungs / Testis / Ovary / Small Intestine
white infarction occurs where
single blood supply
-> Heart / Kidney / Spleen
reperfusion injury occurs why
generation of ROS and activation of complement
shock is always caused by what
mean arterial pressure reduction
what type of infarction can occur without acute coronary occlusion
subendocardial MI
