Cell Adaptation/injury/death: Class 1 Flashcards
Nucleus
-Function
- Brain of the cell
- Contains DNA
- Responsible for making ribosomes
Cell Membrane
-function
- Protects
- Transports
- Boundary system for the cell
Rough & Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
-function
- Where most protein synthesis occurs
- Synthesize lipids
- Smooth ER helps in detoxification of harmful substances
Ribosomes
-Function
- Make proteins that the cell and body need
Golgi Complex
-function
- UPS
2. Sorts and ships proteins made in the ER
Mitochondria
-function
- Packages the energy from food into ATP molecules
Vesicles
-function
- Stores and transports products produced by the cell
Cell injury can be caused by?
- Physical injury
- Toxic injury
- Infectious injury
- Hypoxic injury
- Deficiency injury
Ischemia
-cell sensitivity
- Skeletal muscle can tolerate 2-3 hrs of ischemia
2. Cardiac muscle can only tolerate 20 min of ischemia
Liver Cells
-Susceptible to what type of injury
- Chemical injury
Free Radicals
- Unpaired electron
- Highly unstable & reactive
- Will attempt to steal an electron from nearby molecule causing a chain reaction
Initiation of Free Radicals
- Absorption of extreme energy sources
- UV light & Radiation - Endogenous reactions when O2 is reduced to Water
- Cell growth and proliferation - Enzymatic Metabolism
- from external chemicals like Cigarette smoke and Alcohol
Samples of Free Radical Damage
- Lipid per-oxidation
- Attacking critical proteins
- DNA fragmenting
- Damaging mitochondria
Free Radicals
-Terminating them
- Antioxidant enzymes
- block synthesis of free radicals / inactivate them / Decompose - Endogenous
- Super Oxide Dismutase
- Catalase - Exogenous
- Vitamin A, “E”, C
Free Radicals
-Endogenous Termination
- Super Oxide Dismutase
2. Catalase
Free Radicals
-Exogenous termination
- Vitamin E
2. Vitamin A & C
Cell Alteration
- All forms of disease begin with alterations to cells
Altered Cells and tissues
-Result from…
- Adaptation
- Injury
- Neoplasia
- Aging
- Death
Cellular Adaptation
-Atrophy
- Reduction in the size of the cell
Cellular Adaptation
-Atrophy - Examples
- Disuse
- Nutritional Deprivation
- O2 Deprivation (Ischemia)
- Decreased Hormonal stimulation
- Aging
- Denervation pressure
Cellular Adaptation
-Hypertrophy
- Enlargement of Cell due to increased workload
Cellular Adaptation
-Hypertrophy - Examples
- Mechanical signals
- Stretch muscles causing enlargement - Trophic signals
- Send hormones causing enlargement
Cellular Adaptation
-Hyperplasia
- An increase in the number of cells caused by:
- increased workload
- hormonal stimulation
- decreased tissue
Cellular Adaptation
-Hyperplasia - Examples
- Hormonal
- Occurs mostly in estrogen-dependent organs (Uterus & breast) - Compensatory
- Liver cells (hepatocytes)
- Epidermal (callus)
Cellular Adaptation
-Metaplasia
- Replacement of one adult cell w/ another cell
Cellular Adaptation
-Metaplasia - Examples
- Barret’s Esophagus
- GERD
