cpt 4: cell injury, aging and death Flashcards
cellular swelling and the accumulation of excess substance within the cell is frequently seen with what cell inury?
Reversible cellular injury
early stages of irreversible cellular injury
cellular adaption
generally reversible
may be detrimental to cell
results in changing structure or function of cell
Necrosis
type of irreversible cell injury leading to death of tissue
gangrene
type of necrosis that can be described as wet, dry, or gas
determination based upon location and appearance.
proteasomes
degrade intracellular proteins
telomeres
get shorter with each cell division, leading to cell aging
normal intracellular substances that accumulate in injured cells (4)
lipids
carbohydrate
glycogen
protein
adaption response: swim team student with increased skeletal muscle mass
beneficial hypertrophy
adaption response: cardiovascular pt with BLE hair loss and skin thinning
pathologic ischemic atrophy
adaption response: ETOH addiction and hepatomegaly
pathologic hypertrophy
adaption response: development of breast in puberty
beneficial hypertrophy
adaption response: increase in RBC when training in high altitude mountains
beneficial hyperplasia
adaption response: epithelium changes in bladder as a result of chronic cystitis
pathologic hyperplasia
adaption response: calluses on hands
pathologic hyperplasia
adaption response: cervical cells with abnormal variations in size, shape, and arrangement
pathologic dysplasia
adaption response: conversion of bronchial ciliated columnar epithelium to stratified squamous epithelium in smoking pt.
pathologic metaplasia
types of tissue necrosis with examples: 4
coagulative: MI
liquefactive: abscess
fat: cyst after breast surgery
caseous: damaged lung from TB
Common etiologies of cellular injury (5)
ischemia and hypoxic injury nutritional injury infectious and immunologic injury chemical injury physical and mechanical injury
Na/K pump failure to remove Na probable cause of
cellular swelling during early stages of cell injury
glandular tissues response to increased functional demand
hyperplasia
steps of coagulative necrosis (4)
- ischemic cellular injury
- plasma membrane unable to maintain electrochemical gradient
- influx of Ca and mitochondrial dysfunction
- degradation of plasma membrane and nuclear structures.
hypoxia due to ischemia results in (3)
lactic acidosis
hydropic swelling
reduced ATP production
hydropic swelling: malfunction of Na/K pump
accumulation of Na in cell, creating osmotic gradient for water.
pump needs ATP: decease ATP leads to dysfunction, leads to swelling
organ enlargement
swelling of cells in a particular organ
reasons for accumulation of normal substances inside cell (2)
faulty metabolism: excess storage
absent enzyme: no breakdown
lipid accumulation: location and causes
liver
excessive alcohol intake
genetic disorders: enzymes needed to metabolize lipids is impaired.
carbohydrate accumulation: cause
lysosomal enzyme degradation of these is impaired
glycogen accumulation
common with diabetes, excess sugar is stored.
