Cell Injury Flashcards
coagulative necrosis
caused by ischemia
liquefactive necrosis
caused by infectious agents
caseous necrosis
caused by TB; a combination of coagulative and liquefactive necrosis
gangrenous necrosis
caused by infection of pre-existing coagulative necrosis
enzymatic necrosis
caused by pancreatic disease. Release of lipases ultimately leads to soap formation
apoptosis
programmed cell death
steatosis
abnormal accumulation of fat droplets in the cytoplasm
hemosiderosis
a class of disorders that manifest as excess iron deposition due to any cause
hemachromatosis
in inherited disorder that causes hemosiderosis
ischemia
reduced blood flow to an organ; often results in hypoxia
infarction
necrosis due to hypoxia. hypoxia is often caused by ischemia
cirrhosis
scarring of the liver
hist: alcoholic liver disease
accumulation of fat droplets that stain red
hypoxia v. ischemia v. infarction
low oxygen v. reduced blood flow v. death due to low oxygen
hist: reversible v. perm v. lethal changes
