CELL INJURY Flashcards
refers to the underlying causes and modifying factors that are responsible for initiation and progression of diseases
etiology
refers to the mechanisms of development and progression of disease which account for the cellular and molecular changes that give rise to the specific functional and structural abnormalities that characterizes any particular disease
pathogenesis
________ refers to oxygen deficiency and ischemia
hypoxia
_______ potentially toxic agents are encountered daily in the environment
toxins
all types of disease causing pathogens including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoans
infectious agents
protein-calories insufficiency among impoverished populations remains a major cause of cell injury and specific vitamin deficiencies are not uncommon even in developed countries with high standards of living
nutritional imbalances
____________ is the stage of cell injury at which the deranged function and morphology of the injured cells can return to normal if the damaging stimulus is removed
reversible cell injury
2 main morphologic correlates of reversible cell injury includes
C, F
cellular swelling
fatty change
________ is commonly seen in cell injury associated with increased permeability of the plasma membrane
cellular swelling
____________ is manifested by the appearance of triglyceride containing vacuoles in the cytoplasm
fatty change
many drugs including barbiturates used as sedatives are metabolized in the liver by the ______ mixed function oxidase system found in the smooth ER
cytochrome P450
the morphological manifestation of acidental cell death is __________
necrosis
the morphological appearance of most types of regulated cell death is __________
apoptosis
myocardial cells become non contractile after 1-2 minutes of ischemia but may not die until ____________ of ischemia have elapsed
20-30 minutes
Necrosis
_______ : necrotic cells shows increase eosinophilia attributable partly to increased binding of eosin to denatured cytoplasmic proteins and partly to loss of basophilic RNA in the cytoplasm
cytoplasmic changes
Necrosis
________:characterized by nuclear shrinkage and increased basophilia
pyknosis
Necrosis
pyknotic nucleus undergoes fragmentation this change is called
karrorrhexis
Necrosis
nucleus may undergo ____ which the basophilia fades because of digestion of DNA by DNase activity
karyolysis
TYPES OF NECROSIS
form of necrosis in which the underlying tissue architecture is preserved for at least several days after death of cells in the tissue
coagulative necrosis
TYPES OF NECROSIS
seen in focal bacterial and occasionally fungal infections because microbes stimulate rapid accumulation of inflammatory cells, and the enzymes of leukocytes (liquefy) the tissue
liquefacrive necrosis
TYPES OF NECROSIS
most often encountered in foci of tuberculous infection
necrotic focus appears as a collection of fragmented or lysed cells with an amorphous granular pink appearance in H&E stained tissue sections
caseous necrosis
TYPES OF NECROSIS
not a distinctive pattern of cell death, the term is still commonly used in clinical practice
condition of a limb that has lost its blood supply and has undergone coagulative necrosis involving multiple tissue layers
gangrenous necrosis
TYPES OF NECROSIS
focal areas of fat destruction, typically resulting from the release of activated pancreatic lipases into the substance of the pancreas and peritoneal cavity
fat necrosis
TYPES OF NECROSIS
special form of necrosis
occurs in immune system reactions in which complexes of antigens and antibodies are deposited in the walls of blood vessels
fibrinoid necrosis
