Chapter 4 Flashcards
Reversible cell injury
Hydropic swelling
Intracellular accumulations
Hydropic swelling
Cellular swelling
Accumulation of water
High sodium = high osmolarity
High non-penetrating = so suck
To fix high sodium
Need energy and enzyme
Intracellular accumulations
Lysosomes digest wastes in cells
If waste ⬆️then➡excess of water
Atrophy
Cell shrink
Reduce function
Hypertrophy
Increase mass
Same cells and amount - just bigger
Hyperplasia
Increase amount of cells
Mitotic division
Metaplasia
Replacement of one differentiated cell type with another
Dysplasia
Disorganized appearance
Adaptive effort gone astray
Significant potential to transform into cancerous cells
Irreversible cell injury
Necrosis
Apoptosis
Necrosis
Usually occur as a consequence of ischemia or toxic injury
Cell rupture–> spilling its contents
4 types of tissue necrosis
Coagulative
Liquefactive
Fat necrosis
Caseous necrosis
Coagulation necrosis
Most common type
Begin with ischemia and ends with degradation of plasma membrane
Liquefaction necrosis
Occurs with dissolution of dead cells
Forms cyst
Fat necrosis
Death of adipose tissue
Chalky white area of tissue
Usually result of trauma or pancreatitis
Caseous necrosis
Lung damage secondary to tuberculosis
Resembles clumpy cheese
Gangrene
Cellular death in a large area of tissue
Results from interruption of blood supply to a particular part of the body
Types of gangrene
Dry
Wet
Gas
Dry gangrene
Form of coagulation necrosis
Blackened , derby, wrinkled tissue separated by a line of demarcation from healthy tissue
Wet gangrene
Form of liquefactive necrosis
Typically found in internal organs
Gas gangrene
Results from infection of necrotic tissue by anaerobic bacteria (Clostridium), which is characterized by formation of gas bubbles in damages muscle tissue
Apoptosis
Programmed cell death
Doesn’t directly kill cell
Cause cascade leading to death
Two type of environmental or extrinsic signals may induce apoptosis
Withdrawal of survival signals that normally suppress apoptotic pathways
Extra cellular signals, such as the Fas ligand, bind to the cell and trigger death cascade
Apoptosis can also be triggered by intrinsic pathways
Protein, p53, is normally low in the body. Will increase in response to cellular DNA damage, triggering cells own death
