Altered cellular and Tissue Biology Flashcards
Cells that withstand stress and recover completely
Reversible cells injury
Cells that change structure in order to adapt to stress
Adaptation
Cell death caused by outside stressors
Necrosis
Cell triggered suicide
Apoptosis
5 types of cell adaption
Atrophy Hypertrophy Hyperplasia Metaplasia Dysplasia
Atrophy that occurs early in development
Physiologic Atrophy
Atrophy that occurs with outside stressors
Disuse - not using muscles Denervation - paralyzed limbs Ischemia induced - reduced O2 & Nutrients lack of endocrine - menopause Nutrient starvation - not eating
Increase in the size of the cell due to hormones or physical use
Hypertrophy
Types of Hypertrophy
mechanical - stretching a muscle Trophic - hormones, GF examples of physiological: enlargement of uterus in pregnancy Skeletal muscle when working out cardiac muscle due to HTN
Increased number of number cells due to increased cellular division
Hyperplasia
Two types of Hyperplasia
Physiological
Pathological
Types of Physiological Hyperplasia
Compensatory - callus formation, liver regeneration
Hormonal - estrogen dependent organs like the breast and uterus
types of Pathological hyperplasia
endometrial - excess menstrual bleeding
1 enlarged nucleus
2 clumping of chromatin
3 enlarged nucleoli
Increased number of cells in abnormal cells or mature cells
Dysplasia
A reversible conversion of a cell shape and type
metaplasia
example - smoking causes ciliated columnar epithelium to stratified squamous epithelium
When a cell is unable to maintain homeostasis in face of stimuli
cellular injury
Types of cellular injury
reversible cellular injury
irreversible cellular injury
Injurious stimuli include
hypoxia free radicals chemical agents infectious agents physical and mech forces inflammation (allergic reaction) genetics nutritional imbalances cellular aging
6 major biological themes in cell injury/death
ATP depletion - Na/k pumps off
Lack of O2 or free radicals - MOST COMMON
Increased cytoplasmic Ca++ - enzyme turn on
Mitochondrial damage - no ATP
Defects in membrane permeability - increased Ca++
Three forms of cellular injury are
Hypoxic
Reactive oxygen
Chemical injury
Common causes of hypoxic injuries
decreased P1O2 decreased heart function decreased RBC's Respiratory disease Cardiovascular disease metabolic inability to use O2 (poisoning) Ischemia (MOST COMMON)
Hypoxic sequelae
decreased O2 into mitochondria --> decreased ATP ---> No ATP no Na/K pumps ---> ^ Na ICF, ^ Ca ICF, ^ K ECF ---> H2O follows Na into cell (hydropic sweeling)> ER detaches ribosomes ---> no protein synthesis, swelling lysosomes --> release of enzymes = cell death
Irreversible damage is characterized by
major disturbance in the membrane
increased ICF Ca++
Lack of ATP
Free radicals either ______ or _____ elctrons
barrow
steal
ROS is called
reactive oxygen species
ROS are produced where
in the mitochondria
Excess ROS leads to
oxidative stress
ROS react to the following
fatty acids - peroxidation or membrane lipids
Proteins - ion pump damage
DNA- impaired protein synthesis
Free radicals can be initiated within cells by
oxidation reactions - normal metabolism absorption of radiant energy- UV Xray Enzymatic metabolism-exogenous chem/drug Inflammation - leukocytes Reperfusion energy
Four biologically free radicals are
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) Hydroxyl radical (OH-) Superoxide Nitric oxide (NO-)
Cells have two methods of removing free radicals
Antioxidant molecules
Antioxidant enzymes
Antioxidant molecules are:
Vit E
Vit C
beta carotene
Antioxidant Enzymes are
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) >H2O2
glutathione peroxidase > H2O2 –> H2O
Catalase > H2O2 –> H20 + O2
Lipid peroxidation _____ electrons in the membrane
steal
leads to destruction of membrane bound organelles
Free radicals actions on proteins are
fragmentize polypeptides
Free radicals actions on DNA
fragmentize DNA strands
