Block 1 Chart From Big (from Part 4 To End) Flashcards
Early plasma membrane injury sign
- increased membrane permeability -> increased amts of Na, Ca, and water
Late plasma membrane damage signs
- blebs
- vesicles
- distorted microvilli
Last sign/stage of plasma membrane damage
Breaks in plasma membrane
Signs of mitochondrial damage
- swelling
- translucent matrix
- condensation of mitochondrial matrical proteins (flocculation; EARLIEST SIGN)
Signs of ER damage
- swelling
- ribosomal detachment
- disaggregation of polysomes
- fragmentation
2 types of reversible cellular injury
- cellular swelling
- fatty change
Cellular swelling
- early sign of cellular illness
- cell unable to maintain ionic and fluid homeostasis
Fatty change
- abnormal fat accumulation in parenchymal cells
- late stage cell illness
Best Carmine stains
Glycogen
Oil red and sudan red stain
Fat/lipids
Necrosis/onchosis
Physical changes caused by degradation via lysosomal enzymes on lethally injured cell
Coagulative necrosis definition
- gross and microscopic structure of tissue and some cells preserved
Physiology of coagulative necrosis
- Structural and enzymatic proteins denatured; insoluble after cell death
- state of coagulation
Microscopic and gross structure of coagulative necrosis
- microscopically: tissue structure and cellular outlines recognizable; nuclei absent or pyknotic; cytoplasm: acidophilic and opaque
- gross: tissue white/pale and dense
Coagulative necrosis causes…
- sudden, severe ischemia
- certain acute acting toxins
- certain bacteria prod. toxins
- mild burns
- Zenker’s necrosis (coagulation of protein in sarcoplasm of only striated muscle)
Definition of liquefactive necrosis
- necrosis that disintegrates into liquid mass causing loss of cellular and architectural outlines
Physiology of liquefactive necrosis
- dead cells digested, creating defect filled by invading neutrophils
Microscopic and gross structure of liquefactive necrosis
- microscopically: empty spaces w/ frayed and irregular edges or dehydrated neutrophil residue, tissue debris and fibrin
- gross: cavity w/ clear fluid or abscess
Extras for liquefactive necrosis
- occurs in nervous tissue (hi fat, low protein)
- all necrotic tissue usually disappears by this slow process
Definition of caseous necrosis
- combination of coagulative and liquefaction necrosis
Physiology of caseous necrosis
- assc. w/ diseases with granulomatous lesions
- caseous material stays in place for long pds. of time & calcify
Mircoscopic and gross structure of caseous necrosis
- microscopic: cells not liquefied; outline not preserved; amorphous granular debris
- gross: soft-firm, grayish white-yellow tissue similar to cottage cheese
T or F: liquefaction and disappearance seldomly occur in caseous necrosis
True
Enzymatic fat necrosis is in what tissue and assc. w/ what types of trauma
- primarily in SQ adipose tissue
- assc. w/ mechanical trauma and pressure
