CELL INJURY AND DEATH Flashcards
Targets of cell injury
Membranes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, DNA, proteins + DNA damage and protein misfolding
Type of cell injury
Ischemia-hypoxia
Physical agents
Chemical agents
Infectious agents
Immunity
Nutritional imbalance
Mutations
What does it happen when we have a cell injury?
ATP depletion
Mitochondrial damage
Increase of intracellular Ca
Production of radicals and ROS
Morphological changes during apoptosis
Cell shrinking
Chromatin condensation
Apoptotic bodies
Phagocytosis
Two types of necrosis
Coagulative necrosis: protein denaturation
Colliquative necrosis: enzymatic digestion
Differences between necrosis and apoptosis
Inflammation
Morphological changes
Programmed vs accidental
