Cell Injury/Death/Adaptation (Cawley) Flashcards
What is Pathology?
The study of the structure, function and change in cells and tissues in organs that underlie diseases.
4 steps of the pathological analysis
5 ways cells can react to injury?
What does persistent stress lead to in a cell?
What are 5 methods of adaptation relief to get the cell back to normal when stressed?
What can reversible cell injury lead to if severe?
Describe adaptation response for a myocyte (look at the images too!)
How long does it take a myocyte to undergo necrosis? Causes?
Name some etiological agents that can leads to cell injury
5 general mechanism of cell injury
5 was free radicals can be abnormally unregulated? Three types of activated oxygen
O2-, H2O2, -OH
Ionizing radiation can produce a hydroxyl radical through radiolysis. What effect would this have on proliferating cells, and non-proliferating cells?
What is the most damaging radical? How could the ferrous iron reaction result in this? What two abnormalities would be needed?
Ferrous iron (Fe2+) loses an electron during conversion to the ferric (Fe3+) state.
What are endogenous antioxidants and what are exogenous antioxidants?
Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit oxidation
Describe Ca/Mg pump and what happens when disrupted.
Describe injurious stimuli effects on membrane damage (3 possible abnormal outcomes) Intracellular Ca and ROS.
Worst result in Mitochondrial dysfunction? What is MPT?
4 steps (in a way) of acute cellular injury, causing reversible response?
