Cell death Flashcards
where does coagulative necrosis occur
heart, adrenals, kidneys
Hallmark of coagulative necrosis
coagulative means clumping or coagulation r/t hypoxic injury or ischemia
lactic acid
denaturing
hypoxic death can occur in
CNS
MI
necrotic cells lost nuculei-coagulative necrotic process
liquefactive
mush stuff due to autolysis, opening up digesting from inside out. Pus, abcess
lysis mainly done by
immune cells
coagulative is always hypoxic except under
CNS
In CNS
alot of hydrolytic enzymes and lipids so, cell becomes liquified. In CNS, eg focal bacteria infection from phagocytic neutrophisl.
Heterolysis
from phagocytic neutrophis, bk things down and hydrolyze things.
Coagulative and Liquefactive two types of
necrosis
Caseous
means cheese combo of liquidactive and coagulative.
Caseous necrosis occurs in
TB, has granuloma due to inflammatory process, encases structure. Causes dense lesions in the lungs.
Fat necrosis
destruction of fats associated with premature release of enzymes that digest fats lipase from pancrease
Fat necrosis seen in
pancreatitis
Peritoneal cavity
fat necrosis, breast, pancreas, and abd
Fats being digested from minerals
CA+, Mg, NA+ see acute pancreatitis. Calcium soaps
calcium soaps hallmark of
fat necrosis
Gangrene
associated with hypoxia
Gangrene
occurs due to reduction in bld flow
Many times gangrene doesn’t have an infection
Wet gangrene
see infection, bacteria, phagocytic celsls release enzyme
Gangrene is cell death by
tissue hypoxia, due to ischemia
Dry gangrene is coagulative
in absence of infection
Gas gangrene
Anerobic bacteria thrives in oxygen depleated environments
Anerobic bacterium comes from
clostridium species
