Q

the principles of cell injury

A

a. the cellular response to injurious stimuli depends on the type of injury, its duration and its severity.
b. the consequences of cell injury depends on the type, state and adaptability of the injured cell.
c. cell injury results from different biochemical mechanisms acting on several essential cellular components.

27
Q

3 major consequences of mitochondrial damage

A
  1. mpt pores open, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. decreased oxidative phosphorylation and decreased atp.

28
Q

loss of ca++ homeostasis

A

a. extracellular is 15x higher than cystosolic ca++
b. loss of atp increases intracellular
