Q

What happens to a cell under oxygen depravation?

A
Decrease in ATP 
= failure of sodium potassium and calcium pump
= cell swelling
= reduce pH
Under extreme conditions, cell can burst

21
Q

Asphyxial cell injuries

A

Suffocation, strangulation, chemical asphyxiates, drowning

22
Q

Chemical agents that can cause cell injury

A

Lead, carbon monoxide, ethanol, Mercury, drugs

23
Q

Immunologic reactions to cell injury

A

Phagocytic cells
Immune and inflammatory substances
Membrane alterations

24
Q

Hypothermic injury

A

Slows cell metabolic processes

25
Q

Hyperthermia injury

A

Heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke

26
Q

Radiation can affect what type of cells

A

Gastrointestinal cells, fetus, bone marrow (lymph nodes)

27
Q

How can intercellular ca2+ increase?

A

Mitochondria, injurious agent, smooth ER

28
Q

What can happen with increased intracellular ca2+?

A

Activate enzymes like phospholipase, protease, endonuclease, and atpase that can cause membrane damage, nuclear damage, and decreased ATP

29
Q

What can cause cell aging?

A

DNA damage, decreased cell replication, decreased functional proteins, and altered transcription due to environmental stress

30
Q

Features of a reversible injury

A
Cell swelling
Fatty change
Decreased ATP 
Altered ion flux
Mito swelling
Pyknosis
Memb alterations
31
Q

Sings of an irreversible injury

A

Everything like reversible, as well as
Increased eosinophilia
Greater nuclear changes

32
Q

Manifestations of cell injury include cell accumulations like

A
Lipids
Proteins
Glycogen
Water
Pigments
Calcium
Urate
33
Q

Necrosis

A

Cell death due to loss of memb integrity and leakage of cell contents leading to local damage via inflammation

34
Q

Apoptosis

A

Cell death where cells activate enzymes that degrade the cells own DNA and nuc/cytoplasmic proteins. Plasma memb stays intact and the cell is phagocytosed.
NO INFLAMMATION

35
Q

Pyknosis

A

Necrosis stage when chromatin condenses

36
Q

Karyorrhexis

A

Necrosis stage when chromatin fragments

37
Q

Karyolysis

A

Necrosis when cell bursts/ nucleus dissolves

38
Q

Eosinophilia

A

Sign of cytoplasmic changes during necrosis

Will take up eosin (h&e stain)

39
Q

Calcification during necrosis

A

Dead cells can be degraded into FA that bind calcium

40
Q

Coagulation necrosis

A

Protein denaturation - albumin turns opaque

Kidneys, heart, spleen, adrenal glands

41
Q

Liquefactive necrosis

A

Hydrologic enzymes

Neurons and glial cells of the brain

42
Q

Caseous necrosis

A

Combo of coagulation and liquefactive

Enclosed within inflammatory border (granuloma)

43
Q

Fat necrosis

A

Pancreas, breast, abdominal organs
Activation of lipases
Free FA and calcium

44
Q

Fibrinoid necrosis

A

Arteries

Antigens and antibodies are in walls of arteries

45
Q

Gangrenous necrosis

A

Result of hypoxia, affects limbs
Dry - not enough to blood, coagulation, dry, crusty, black
Wet - infection, liquefactive, cold, swollen, black, smelly

46
