Cellular Adaptations and Accumulations II Flashcards
What are subcellular responses to injury
distinctive alterations involving only subcellular organelles and cytosolic proteins
lysosomes
vesicles filled with a variety of hydrolytic enzymes
primary lysosomes
small membrane bound vesicles budding from golgi appartus
secondary lysosomes
formed when primary lysosomes fuse with pinocytic or phagocytic vesicles. also called phagolysosomes
heterophagy
materials from extracellular environment taken up through endocytosis
residual bodies
undigested materials/lipids
hereditary lysosomesal storage disorders
abnormal accumulations of intermediated metabolites
what happens when smooth ER undergoes hypertophy
becomes more efficient
What can cause mitochondrial to enlarge, have abnormal shapes
EtOH liver disease, nutritional deficiency
What is the cytoskeleten made of
thin filaments, microtubules, intermediate filaments
Thin filaments
actin, myosin. function in movement, phagocytosis
microtubules
function is motility, phagocytosis, mitotic spindle
intermediate filaments
form intracellular scaffolid, maintain cellular architecture, can accumulate and be pathologic
Cytoskeletal prteins
active participants in signal transduction
intracellular accumulation
manifestation of metabolic derangement, storage of some product by individual cells
What are the 3 categories of intracellular accumulations
normal endogenous substance that metabolism can’t remove
normal or abnormal endogenous substance that accumulates after some defect
abnormal exogenous substance that get’s deposited and can’t be removed
What are mechanisms of intracellular accumulations
abnormal metabolism
alteration in protein folding/transport
deficiency of critical enzyme
inability to degrade phagocytosed particles
steatosis (fatty change)
abnormal accumulations of triglycerides within parenchymal cells
What causes steatosis
toxins, protein malnutrition, diabetes, obesity, anoxia, EtOH
Atherosclerosis
in plaques, smooth muscle cells and macrophages within the aorta and large arteries fill with lipid vacuoles (foam cells) and aggregates produce yellow, cholesterol laden atheromas
