Cellular Response to Injury Flashcards
Increase in number of cells
Hyperplasia
Decrease in cell size and number
Atrophy
Replacement of one differentiated cell type w/ another cell type
Metaplasia
Mechanism of atrophy
Dec CHON synthesis
Inc CHON synthesis (Ubiquitin-proteasome pathway)
Autophagy
Causes of oxygen deprivation of cells
Ischemia
Cardiopulmonary failure
Dec O2 carrying capacity of blood
Dec in ATP leads to
Inhibition of Na-K pump leading to cellular swelling
Mitochondrial damage leads to
Leakage of pro-apoptotic CHONs
Entry of Ca leads to
Inc mitochondrial permeability
Activation of multiple cellular enzymes
Inc in ROS
Damage to lipids, CHONs, DNA
Plasma membrane damage leads to
Loss of cellular components
Damage to lysosomal membrane leads to
Enzymatic digestion of cellular components
CHON misfolding, DNA damage leads to
Activation of pro-apoptotic CHONs
Cell injury in reduced oxidative phosphorylation
Reversible cell injury/ hydropic changes/ vacuolar degeneration
Transport mechanism in cell activated when cellular swelling occurs
Na-K ATPase
Markers of necrosis
Inc eosinophilia
Myelin figures
Nuclear changes
Basophilia of the chromatin may fade/ dissolve
Karyolysis
Nuclear shrinkage and inc basophilia
Pyknosis
Pyknotic nucleus undergoes fragmentation
Karyorrhexis
Necrosis d/t lack of blood supply (except brain)
Coagulative necrosis
Digestion of dead cells leading to pus formation
Liquefactive necrosis
Coag necrosis in the limb w/ superimposed liquefactive necrosis
Gangrenous necrosis
Necrosis that leads to granuloma formation
Caseation necrosis
Causes of caseation necrosis
PTB
Syphilis
Systemic fungal infx
Seen in enzymatic fat necrosis; fatty acids + calcium to produce chalky white areas
Saponification
