LAB4 - necrosis and inflammation Flashcards
- ____is the sum of the morphologic changes that
follow cell death in a living tissue or organ.
Necrosis
It is the major
morphological manifestation of cell death
necrosis
appearance of necrotic cells
The dead cells usually shows eosinophilia.
It may have a
“glassy” homogenous appearance as compared to normal
cells.
types of necrosis
coagulative
liquefactive
caseous
fibrinoid
fat
grangrenous
describe the characteristic of cells and structure of coagulative necrosis
the nuclei of the myocardial fibers are being lost
cytoplasm is losing its structure because no well-defined cross striations are seen
when there’s a marked cellular injury, there will be an either ___ or ___
cell death or necrosis
describe the microscopic appearance of a coagulative necrosis found in heart that suffered myocardial infarction
mess as many cells have died
the tissue is not recognizable
many nuclei have undergone pyknosis, karyorrhexis, karyolysis
the cytoplasm and cell borders are no longer recognizable
the slide of a liquefactive necrosis shows
clear space on a certain area of a slide and blackening
the clear space will have the suppuratives - the liquefied area becomes a cystic space
- At high magnification, liquefactive necrosis of the brain demonstrates
many macrophages which are cleaning up the necrotic cellular debris
The job description of a macrophage includes _____particularly when there is lipid debris
janitorial services
a liquefactive necrosis in liver shows which wbc
neutrophil
inflammatory cells in acute inflammatopn
neutrophil
a Caseous necrosis will demonstrae
granuloma with central necrosis in a lung of a person with
tubercylosis
a cell predominant in caseous necrosis
Langhans-type giant cells
the Langhans-type giant cells (with many nuclei arranged in a ___like pattern at the edge of the cell) around the periphery of the granuloma
horseshoe
Langhans-type giant cells are seen in many types of ___ and are not
specific for tuberculosis
granulomas
