cellular injury, adaptation, and death Flashcards
should physiologic demands exceed capacity of the cell
1) it will try to adapt
cellular adaptation
1) hyperplasia
2) hypertrophy
- growth of the cell
3) atrophy
- decrease in size of the cell
4) metaplasia
- mainly pathologic
- change in one cell type to another
if the cell cannot adapt
1) injury occurs
causes of cellular injury
1) ischemia
- lack of blood supply with O2
2) infectious and immune mediated disease
3) reactive oxygen species
ROS
1) normal result of metabolic activities
2) normal redox
- ETC/RC
3) radiant energy
- UV skin
4) inflammation
- WBCs
5) metabolism of chemicals
- Chm/AZT
what do ROS do
1) block formation or scavenging free radicals
an injury occurs
1) take ischemia
- no blood flow, no O2
2) O2 is needed for oxidative phosphorylation
- no ATP
3) ATP dependent pumps fail and cell product accumulates
4) if injury is reversed
- the residual body is excreted by the cell
5) degeneration
- accumulation of products can be irreversible
- necrosis, apoptosis
damage associated molecular products
1) ATP
2) uric acid
3) bind to macrophages
4) trigger phagocytosis
ischemic / coagulative necrosis
1) lack of oxygen
2) the blood supply to tissue is arrested usually the result of occlusion of a vessel
- ex. myocardial infarction
- troponin gets released
liquefactive necrosis
1) lot of neutrophils and dead tissue
2) dental granuloma
Caseous necrosis
1) necrotic tissue
fat necrosis
1) lipases release fat
fibrinoid
1) in lupus
gangrenous necrosis
1) infection and necrosis
- true type of necrosis
should healing not occur
1) liquifying => cavity
2) granulation => scar
3) dystrophic calcification (collagenized areas)
