Lecture 14 Flashcards
What happens right before cell death
Cell membrane damage → swelling mitochondria, ER, lysosomes, PM Cytoskeletal damage swelling, dissociation Mitochondrial dysfunction amorphous densities Release of lysosomal enzymes cell damage Nuclear changes condensation/ fragmentation
What happen to eosinophilia in cytoplasm during oncotic necrosis
– loss of cytoplasmic RNA; denatured cytoplasmic proteins
What happen to Vacuolation in cytoplasm during oncotic necrosis
– digestion of cytoplasmic organelles by liberated enzymes
What happen to Mineralization in cytoplasm during oncotic necrosis
degradation of membrane phospholipids > FA accumulation
What happen to the nucleus during oncotic necrosis
Pyknosis (shrinkage) > Karyorrhexis (fragmentation) > Karyorrlysis (fading
When will evidence of necrosis be detectable
- Serum biochemistry (< 1/2hour)
- Ultrastructural changes (1/2 - 4hours)
- Light microscopic changes (4 – 12hours)
- Gross changes (12 – 24 hours)
What is the formation of degeneration during early/reversible cell
Early/Reversible
Cell swelling
Surface blebs
Cytoplasmic eosinophilia
What is the formation of necrosis during ongoing/irreversible cell
Cell loss
Cell fragmentation
Pyknosis
Karyorrlysis
What are necrosis cells caused by viral injury in spleen
Lymphocytes Necrosis pyknosis karyorrhexis (arrow) karyorrlysis
What kind of necrosis happens during toxic injury in renal tubules
Kidney - Chloroform toxicity Tubular epithelial cells demonstrating Hydropic degeneration Necrosis pyknosis (arrow) karyorrlysis (arrowhead)
What is coagulative necrosis
Denaturation of cellular proteins including lysosomal enzymes
> retention of tissue architecture
What are the cause of coagulative necrosis
Hypoxia, ischemia, toxins
What are the infarction in coagulative necrosis
reflects obstruction of blood supply to a region of an organ
> coagulative necrosis of affected region
What happens when there is subacute to chronic infarcts
loss of tissue/ fibrous scarring
What is caseous necrosis
- Caseous = Cheese-like
- Chronic form of necrosis
- Loss of tissue architecture
- Loss of cellular detail
Is caseous infectious
yes, • eg. Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis = Cheesy gland = Caseous lymphadenitis
What causes caseous necrosis
Mycobacteriosis - Mycobacterium spp
What are prone to caseous necrosis
Avians and reptiles
What is liquefactive necrosis
• Cells are lysed and the necrotic tissue is converted to a liquid phase
What infection is cause liquefactive necrosis
Common in pyogenic bacterial infections – eg. cat bite abscess
What is Oncotic necrosis in the brain and spinal cord manifests as
liquefactive necrosis
Why does liquefective necrosis happen
• Lack of a fibrous interstitium to uphold tissue
structure
• Cells of the CNS tend to be rich in lipids and lytic
enzymes
