Cell Injury Flashcards
Oxygen Damage
Get ischaemia and damage from free radicals
Coagulative Necrosis
Denaturation of cytoplasms proteins
Cellular proteins leak into blood
Colliquative Necrosis
Occurs in brain
Liquefies and makes a cyst
Caseous Necrosis
Like TB
Replaced with granulomatous inflam
Gangrenous Necrosis
Dry gangrene in extremities
Wet if infected or in GI
Apoptosis
No inflam response as programmed
Extrinsic pathway has Fas and TNF
p53=death signal
Bal-2 inhibits apoptosis as it stop Cytochrome C
Atheroma
Due to lipid accumulation in intima
Monocytes eat fat and become foam cells
Foam cells secrete cytokines making smooth muscle proliferate
Ischaemia
Damage due to lack of waste removal
Can get reperfusion injury as free radicals made by inflam cells
Shock
Hypovolaemic Cardiogenic Distributive (severe vasodilation) Septic (more cytokines, DIC) Anaphylactic Neurogenic (lose symp vascular tone) TSS (super Ags bind to class 2 MHC) Obstructive
Errors of Metabolism
e.g.
Polyphyrins accumulation
Defects in fatty acid oxidation causing KA
Defective androgen receptors
