IRREVERSIBLE CELL INJURY Flashcards
refers to the rapid death of a limited portion of an organism and is considered to be the final stage in irreversible degeneration.
NECROSIS
is the term used for the entire process of degeneration
and death of cells.
NECROBIOSIS
what are the 4 characteristics of necrosis?
- PALENESS OF TISSUE
- LOSS OF STRENGTH OF TISSUE AS IT SOFTENS
- DIFINTE ZONE OF DEMARCATION
- PATTERN OF THE LESIONS
morphologic appearance of necrosis
- DENATURE OF PROTEINS
- AUTOLYSIS
- TYPES OF NECROSIS
- COAGULATION NECROSIS
- LIQUEFACTIVE NECROSIS
- CASEOUS NECROSIS
- GANGRENOUS NECROSIS
- FAT NECROSIS
- INFARCTION
- ZENKERS DISEASE
most common manifestation of cell death, May result from acute deprivation of blood supply.
COAGULATION NECROSIS
gross appearance of coagulation necrosis
- PALE
- FIRM TEXTURE/ SWOLLEN/SHRUNKEN
microscopic appearance of coagulation necrois:
- original cell shape and tissue architecture preserved,
- CYTOPLASM- increased eosinophilia/hyalinized/calcified/
- NECROTIC CELLS- removed by WBC, PROTEOLYSIS & PHAGOCYTOSIS
3 PATTER of nuclear changes in couagulation necrosis:
1.KARYOLYSIS
2. PYKNOSIS
3. KARYORRHEXIS
the fading of nucleus
Karyloysis
shrunken & densely basophilic nucleic
PYKNOSIS
nuclear fragmentation
KARYORRHEXIS
4 ultrastructural appearance of coagulation necrosis:
- LOSS OF PROTEINS
- UNABLE RESTORATION OF ATP PRODUCTION
- SWELLING OF LYSOSOME
- CELL DEBRIES ARE REMOVED
necrosis occurs when enzymatic digestion of necrotic cells predominates over protein denaturation.
seen in bacterial infections due to attraction of neutrophils taht contains potent hydrolyses that are capable of digesting dead cells.
LIQUEFACTIVE NECROSIS
Gross appearance of liquefactive necrosis:
- TISSUE is LIQUEFIED
- BECOME SOFT TO VISCOUS FLUID
microscopic appearance of liquafactive necrosis;
- DEGENERATE NEUTROPHILS
- AMORPHOUS MATERIAL
this type of necrosis is typical lesion seen with specific bacterial diseases,
eg tuberculosis, caseous lymphadenitis.
CASEOUS NECROSIS
gross appearance of caseous necrosis:
- GREY WHITE
- DRY w/ FRIABLE PASTY TEXTURES
- CASEOUS= CHEESE LIKE
microscopic appearance of caseous necrosis
NECROTIC CELLS ‘do not’
1. consist of DEAD CELLS
2. retain CELLULAR OUTLINE
3. undergo COMPLETE DISSOLUTION
tissue appearance of caseous necrosis:
TISSUE becomes
1. SOFT
2. GRANAULAR TEXTURE
3. PALE YELLOW DICOLORATION
Clinical implication of caseous necrosis:
- lead to formation of ABSCESSES
- TISSUE DISTRUCTION
