Injury & Necrosis Flashcards
Reversible injury
ischemia
- decreas ox phosphorylation
- decrease ATP, increase glycolysis
- decrease Na pump so ER swells, blebs, myelin figures, cell swelling
- detach ribosome- decrease prot syn
Nutritional imbalance
protein calorie def
- found in marasmus, kwashiorkor
- anorexia nervosa
excess calorie intake
- DMII
- metabolic syndrome
Irreversible Injury
Cell death, mem injury
- loss phospholipids
- cytoskeletal alterations
- free radicals
- lipid breakdown
- increase enz leakage
- release lysosomes
Hypoxia
- ischemia
- atheroscelrosis most common cause
- can also be due to resp failure, anemia, CO poisoning
Hypoxia Physical:
Phys:
trauma, temp changes, radiation, electric shock, P changes *Caisson’s disease
Chem agents & drugs
poisons- Arsenic, CN, Hg
alc, tobacco, IV
asbestos, CO, CCL4
infectious agents:
- virus- influenza
- bac- streptococci
- plasmodia- malaria
- rickettsia- Q fever
- fungi- candida
- worms- tape/hookworm
Immunological Rxn
- autoimmune diseases
- hypersensitivity rxn (butterfly rash in systemic lupus)
Genetic Defects
- down syndrome
- sickle cell anemia
Apoptosis
Regulation of cell numbers in development & systems
Also done to kill infectious agents
Cell mem is intact
No adjacent inflammation
Necrosis
Normal post mortem changes
Pathological
Cell mem is disrupted
Enzyme digestion
Frequently w/ adjacent inflammation
LIVING TISSUE
Hydropic Swelling Pathogenesis
- Imparied cell vol reg
- Injurious agents interfere w/ mem regulated process, increase Na+ perm
- damage to pump directly
- reversible
found in kidney= cell swelling
and liver= fatty changes (increase in fat)
EM features of subcellular level of reversible injury
Irreversible Cell Injury
Nucleaus= pyknosis
- nuke shrinks & condenses chromatin
- karyolysis, loss of basophilia
- karyorrhexis, breakup of chromatin into small dense fragments w/ necrotic cell
Cytoplasm of necrotic cell
Hyper eosinophilia
