Irreversible Cell Injury Flashcards
Cellular level morphology of cell death
Mitochondria swelling Membrane damage Lysosomes swelling Amorphous densities in mitochondrial Lysosomal membranes rupture
Microscopic morphology of cell death
Pyknosis Karyolysis Karyorrhexis Increased Eosinophilia Increased eosin Vacuoalrion
Pyknosis
Small and dark nucleus
Karyolysis
Nucleus dissolution
Karyorrhexis
Nuclear fragmentation
Necrosis
Death of contiguous cells in living tissue ( focal or diffuse )
Is necrosis physiologic ?
No always pathological
What form of necrosis occur in enzymatic digestion
Liquefactive necrosis
What necrosis occur in dénaturation of protein
Coagulative necrosis
Causes of coagulative necrosis
Ischaemia
Sudden cessation of blood
Bacterial toxins
Chemicals
Macroscopic morphology of coagulative necrosis
Early is pale and swollen
Later dull Yellow and soft
Microscopic morphology of coagulative necrosis
Pyknosis
Karyolysis
Karyorrhexis
Causeous necrosis
Yellowish Soft granular Friable Loss of cellular outline Amorphous
Gangrenous necrosis
Putrefaction
wet gangrene with ezymatic digestion
Dry gangrene with no enzymatic degradation
Fibrinoid necrosis
Seen in Malignant hypertension
Necrosis of small vessels with fibrin like inflammatory complexes
Enzymatic fat necrosis
Adipose tissue trauma Fat liberated Inflammation Iipolytic activity of fat cells Due to pancreatic enzymes Glossy Chalky white areas
Liquefactive necrosis
Focal degradation with softening and liquefaction seen in infections
Creamy yellow pus
Is resolution of necrosis possible in the cardiac cells ?
No
