First Aid Pathology Flashcards
Apoptosis
Programmed cell death
No inflammation
Cell shrinkage
Nuclear shrinkage
membrane blebbing
nuclear fragmenting
Necrosis
enzymatic degradation and protein denaturing from exogenous injury
Inflammatory process
Reversible cell injury
decreased atp synth cell swelling chromatin clumping fatty changes ribosomal detachment
Irreversible Cell injury
Ca influx (caspase activation)
Plasma membrane damage
Lysosomal rupture
mitochondria permeability
Inflammation characteristics
rubor- reddness
dolor- pain
calor- heat
tumor- swelling
Vascular inflammation response
increased vascular permeability
endothelial injury
Cellular inflammation response
neutrophils leave circulation to injury Cause inflammation by: Phagocytosis degranulation inflammatory mediator release
Acute Inflammation indicators
neurophiles
eosinophils
antibody mediated
Chronic Inflammation indicators
destruction and repair Blood vessel proliferation Fibrosis Macrophages/giant cells (mononuclear cell mediated)
Free radical cell injury
membrane lipid peroxidation
protein modification
DNA damage
Transudate
specific graviety <1.02
hypocellular/protein poor
Exudate
specific graviety >1.02
Cellular/protein rich
