Q

Why are consequences of hypoxic anoxia greater in brain, heart, liver, and kidney?

A

-High metabolic rate
-With elaborated vascular system which shunts, anastomoses and double supply that protects them from hypoxia
-Duration and form of oxygen deficit are important determinants of cell injury
-Heart muscle extract 100% of the O2 from the whole volume of blood circulating in the myocardial capillaries.

Q

A

Necrosis begins with cell swelling, the chromatin gets digested, the plasma and organelle membranes are disrupted, the ER vacuolizes, the organelles break down completely and finally the cell lyses, spewing its intracellular content and eliciting an immune response (inflammation).

Type II (Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria or Photophyria)
Type III (Secondary or Hepatotoxic Photosensitization)

128
Q

A pigment similar to hemosiderin is deposited in tremendous amounts in the cytoplasm in the epithelial cells in the liver and lesser amount in other organs.

A

Hemochromatosis

129
Q

A product formed during the metabolism of phenylalanine and tyrosine.

A

Homogentisic acid oxidase

130
Q

Unidentified pigment found in liver cells may be a lipofuscin but also shares many properties with melanin.
Mechanism in the production of this pigment is unknown

A

Dubin-Johnson Pigment

131
Q

First describes in Angora goats as dark brown, iron negative pigmentation that occurs in the basement membranes of the PCT of the kidney, which imparts the appearance in tissue section the reminiscent of enameled jewelry (cloisonne)
The nature and significance of the condition is unknown.

A

Cloisonne Kidney

132
Q

Deposition of calcium salts in tissues other than bone and teeth

A

Pathological Calcification

133
Q

2 types of pathological calcification

A

Dystrophic, Metastatic

134
Q

Deposition of calcium salts in dead or degenerating tissues
Type that occurs most often

A

Dystrophic calcification

135
Q

A variant of Dystrophic Calcinosis in which tissues are converted into masses of calcium salts surrounded by foreign body giant cells.

A

Tumorous calcinosis

136
Q

Precipitation of calcium salts as a result of persistent hypercalcemia of calcium in the blood
Tissue is not damaged previously

A

Metastatic Calcification

137
Q

Abnormal masses, usually calcium and other mineral salts that develop in organs as a result of secretion or inspissation or thickening of luminal content

A

Calcified bodies or calculi

138
Q

A condition in which crystals of uric acid or urates are deposited in the tissues due to disease in purine metabolism.
Chalky white masses of uric acid (tophi) develops in tissue and causes local inflammation

A

Gout

139
Q

Avian gout occur into two forms, both forms are initiated by renal failure in uric acid secretion and are promoted by dehydration and diets high in protein.

A

Visceral Gout, Articular Gout

140
Q

A form of avian gout common, the plasma uric acid is increased and the urates are deposited in the kidney, liver, joints and pericardium. Common sequela to dehydration

A

Visceral gout

141
Q

A form of avian gout limited to synovia and tendon sheaths of joints esp. on the foot and hock

A

Articular gout

142
Q

Genetically controlled homeostatic mechanisms that deletes cells that are no longer needed that in some way would be damaging to the animal

A

Apoptosis/Programmed Cell Death

143
Q

Cellular changes in Programmed Cell Death/Apoptosis

A

The cell shrinks and condenses. The cytoskeleton collapses, the nuclear envelope disassembles, and the nuclear DNA breaks up into fragments.

144
Q

The round, homogenous, anuclear remnants of the dead cell that remain are called

A

Apoptotic bodies

145
Q

Stages of Apoptosis

A

Initiation or priming
Commitment or decision
Execution and Clearance
