Exam 2: Cell injury Flashcards
What are the two types of reversible cell injury
- Cellular swelling
2. Fatty changes
What are the 3 types of irreversible cell injury and cell death
- Necrosis
- Apoptosis
- Cellular death
Early, sub-lethal manifestation of cell damage, characterized by inc. cell size and volume due to water overload
Acute cell swelling
What is the most common and fundamental expression of cell injury
Acute cell swelling
What is the Gross appearance of acute cell swelling
- Slightly swollen organ with rounded edges
- pallor
- tissue bulges when cut
- heavy/wet
Histologic appearance of cellular swelling
- Enlarged
- pals cytoplasm
- Inc. cytoplasmic eosinophila
- no morphologic change to nucleus
What are the 4 ultrastructural changes of cellular swelling
- PM alterations
- Mitochondrial changes
- Dilation of ER
- Nuclear alterations
An inc. in cell size can be due to what two things
- cell swelling
2. hypertrophy
What is the diff. b/t cell swelling and hypertrophy
Cell swelling: due to water
Hypertrophy: cell enlargement is caused by inc. of normal organelles
T/F. the prognosis of cellular swelling depends on the number of cells affected and importance of cells
T
Sub-lethal cell damage characterized by intracytoplasmic fatty vacuolation
Fatty change
Accumulation of triglycerides and other lipid metabolites within parenchymal cells
Lipidosis
what are the 3 main causes of fatty changes in tissues
- hypoxia
- Toxicity
- Metabolic disorders
What are the 3 steps of the pathogenesis of fatty change
- Impaired metabolism of fatty acids
- Accumulation of triglycerides
- Formation of intracytoplasmic fat vacuoles
Common liver change in obese cats, secondary to anorexia
Hepatic lipidosis
Irreversible injury is usually associated morphalogically with what 3 things?
- Severe swelling of mitochondria
- Extensive damage to PM
- Swelling of lysosomes
Necrotic change that occurs less than 6 hrs
Ultrastructurally
Necrotic change that occurs from 6-12 hrs
Histologically
Necrotic change that occurs 24-58 hrs
Grossly
Cell death after irreversible cell injury by hopoxia, ischemia, and direct cell memb. injury
Necrosis
The morphologic aspect of Necrosis is due to what 2 concurrent processes
- Denaturation of proteins
2. enzymatic digestion of the cell
What is the common outcome of necrosis
Inflammation
What are the 6 types of necrosis?
- Coagulative necrosis
- Liquefactive necrosis
- Gangrenous necrosis
- Caseous necrosis
- Fat necrosis
- Fibrinoid necrosis
when architecture of dead tissues is preserved, ultimately the necrotic cells was removed
Coagulative necrosis
