cell injury Necrosis Flashcards
what is pathology
Study of disease and suffering
What is etiology
Origin of disease and its underlying causes and modifiers
Why a disease occurs
what is pathogenesis
Development of a disease from molecular/cellular changes to functional and structural abnormalities
How a disease occurs
are cause and effect relationships easy for etiology
no
does CEll injury occur in all pathology
Yes
when does clinical signs and symptoms of disease occur
several steps after the biochemical changes associated with cell injury
Why does Cell injury occur
from disruption of 1 or more components that maintain viability
what does cell injury lead to
a cascade of effects
what happens to the cell after cell injury
May be reversible
may result in cell adpatation or lead to cell death
causes of cell injury for a patient’s view
Hypoxia Infectious agents Physical injury Chemicals/drugs Immune response Genetic abnormalities Nutritional imbalances
what is a hypoxic injury
Injury due to lack of oxygen (often due to a lack of blood flow)
do all tissues respond to hypoxic injury the same
No, bone needs less oxygen, where-as hearts and brain need more
what, in general, can lead to cell injury
Different factors acting at the same cellular site producing injury
what are the usualy cellular targets of injury
Cell membranes
Mitochondria
Cell proteins
DNA
what are some of the cell injury mechanisms
ATP Depletion Generation of Reactive oxygen species Loss of Ca++ homeostasis Altered membrane permeability Mitochondrial damage DNA and Protein damage
How does Hypoxia-Ischemia affect ATP
leads to a decrease in oxidative phosphorylation which ultimately decreases ATP
the decrease in ATP from the Hypoxia-Ischemia leads to
Decrease in the activity of Na pump
an increase in anerobic glycolysis
Detachment of ribosomes from the RER
decrease in action of the Na pump from hypoxia-Ischemia
Influx of Ca, H2O and Na
Efflux of K
- leads to ER swelling, cellular swelling, loss of microvilla and Blebs
the increase in Anaerobic glycolysis from hypoxia-ISchemia leads to
Decrease in glyogen
increase in lactive acid, lowering pH, and clumping of nuclear chromatin
the detachment of ribosomes from hypoxia-ISchemia leads to
Decrease in PRotein synth and lipid deposition
what are Reactive OXygen Species
Free Radicals
why do REactive Oxygen Species exist
Inflammation Oxygen toxicity Chemical/drug - metabolism Radiation - UV, X-rays Aging
