Ch.1 Cell injury, death, adaptation Flashcards
origin of a disease, including the underlying causes and modifying factors.
Etiology
Development of the disease. The HOW
Pathogenesis
Steady state
Homeostasis
Well cells indergo injurious stimulus so they ___ and achieve new steady state & preserve viability & fx.
Adapt
If injury is ___ homeostasis is restored
Reversible
If stress is persistent or severe this results in ____ injury
Irreversible
Oxgen deficiency
Hypoxia
Ischemia
Reduced blood supply
Most common cause of hypoxia and ischemia is
Blockage of an artery or inadequate oxygenation of blood.
Toxic agents in daily environment
Toxins
Infectious pathogens; viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites that injure cells by diverse mechanisms.
Infectious Agents
Rxns that can result in cell injury and tissue injury;
ex. autoimmune rxns, excessive or common immune response to microbe
Immunologic reactions
Chromosomal abnormalities or mutations
Ex. Sickle cell anemia
Or even mutations that can result in decrease or increase in protein function.
Genetic Abnormalities
Protein-calorie insufficiency remains a major cause of cell injury, and specific vitamin deficiencies
Nutritional imbalances
Derangement of function and morphology that cells can recover from if the damaging stimulus is removed
Reversible Cell Injury
___ cell injury result in cell and organelle swelling which is main sign.
Reversible
____ ____ is another sign of reversible cell injury. Appearance of lipid vacuoles in cytoplasm. mostly occurs in organs that are involved in lipid metabolism ex. Liver
Fatty change
A cell becomes ____, turning redder due to injury. Becomes intensely basic.
Eosinophilic
4 signs of cell injury
-Blebbing (due to loss of surface microvilli)
-appearance of phospholipid rich densities
-dilation of ER-> detachment of ribosomes.
-Nuclear alteration. Myelin figures.
collections of phospholipids resembling myelin sheaths that are derived from damaged cellular membranes.
Myelin figures
When the cell passes the point of no return, excessive injury
Irreversible injury
1st Phenomena of irreversible injury
> inability to restore mitochondrial function= No Ox. Phosphorylation= NO ATP
2nd Phenomena of irreversible injury
Alt. structure & loss of function of the plasma membrane & intracellular membranes
3rd Phenomena of irreversible injury
Loss if structural integrity of DNA & chromatin
Inevitable end result of severe damage that is beyond salvage and is not thought to be regulated by specific signals or biochemical mechanisms
pathologic
Necrosis
pathway of cell death in which cells activate enzymes that degrade the cells’ own nuclear DNA and nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. Req. ATP
physiologic
Apoptosis
Sign of Necrosis or apoptosis?
Swelling & adjacent  inflammation
Necrosis
Sign of Necrosis or apoptosis?
Shrinking
Apoptosis
Sign of Necrosis or apoptosis?
Pyknosis → karyorrhexis → karyolysis
Necrosis
Sign of Necrosis or apoptosis?
Fragmentation into nucleosome-sized fragments
Apoptosis
Sign of Necrosis or apoptosis?
Disrupted plasma membrane
Necrosis
Sign of Necrosis or apoptosis?
Intact plasma membrane, but orientation of lipids in altered
Apoptosis
Sign of Necrosis or apoptosis?
Enzymatic digestion, may leak out of cell
Necrosis
cellular function may be lost long before _________ occurs and that the morphologic changes of cell injury (or death) lag behind loss of function and viability
cell death
Myocardia cells become non-contractible after 1-2min of ischemia but don’t die until 20-30 min after ischemia has elapsed.
this Is an example that ____ ≠ ____
Loss of function ≠ non-viable
increased binding of eosin to denatured cytoplasmic proteins and in part to loss of basophilic ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the cytoplasm
Eosinophilia, sign of necrosis in cytoplasm.
____ is Characterized by nuclear shrinkage and increased basophilia; the DNA condenses into a dark, shrunken mass.
Pyknosis
Fragmentation of a pyknotic nucleus (shrunken)
karyorrhexis
