Irreversible Injury leads to
Necrosis Apoptosis
What are some Reversible Injury?
- Cellular swelling
- Fatty change
- Decrease ATP
- Mito swelling
- Pyknosis
- Membrane alterations (blebbing)
Irreversible Cell Injury?
- Same as Reversible plus
- Increased Eosinophilia
- Greater Nuclear Changes
Necrosis
- Messy
- cell death assciated with membrane integrity and leakage of cellular contents
- creates local damage via inflammation
Apoptosis
- Clean
- Programmed cell death
- Cell activates enzymes that degrades DNA and nuclear+ cyto proteins
- Plasma membrane remains intact and the cell is targeted by phagocutosis
- No inflammaoty reaction
Which cell death creates an inflammation ?
Necrosis
What does Necrosis do to the membrane?
Loss of membrand integrity and leakage of cellular contents
What happens to the cell membrane with Apoptosis ?
Plasma membrane remains intact and cell is targeted by phagocytosis
What are the 5 steps of Necrosis?
- Damage to cell membrane
- Swelling
- membrane degradation
- inflammation
- fragmentation
What are the 4 steps of Apoptosis
- DNA fragmentation
- Reduction of cell volume
- Membrane Blebbing
- Formation of apoptotic bodies
Necrosis is generally the ….
result of a noxious stimulus
Necrosis Morphology
- Nuclear Changes
- Cytoplasmic Changes ( membrane breaks)
- Calcification
Nuclear changes of Necrosis Processes
- Pyknosis
- Kayorrhexis
- Karyolysis
Pyknosis
clumping of chromatin in the nucleus
karyorrhexis
Necrosis nuclear change #2
Fragmentation of the nucleus, becomes more opaque
karyolysis
Necrosis nuclear change #3
Nuclear dissolution and chromatin lysis
Necrosis Morphology
(Cytoplasmic Changes)
Increased Eosinophilia as they bind to denatured protiens
Necrosis Morphology
Calcification
- Dead cells can be phagocytosed or degraded into fatty acids.
- Fatty acids bind calcium, resulting in calcification.
Nectosis Calcificaiton types
-
Dystrophic calcification- can happen in any type of necrosis
- Usually in atheroma with atherosclerosis
-
Metabolic Calcification- Consequence of hypercalcemia. Can occur in any tissue
- result of altered hormones ( vit D disorder)
