Lecture 17: Cell Injury and Cell Death Flashcards
What is necrosis?
Severe cell swelling and rupture
What is Apoptosis?
Internally controlled cell death
What is oncosis?
Internally controlled cell death
What are two types of cellular adaptations?
Hypertrophy
Atrophy
What is Hypertrophy?
the enlargement of an organ or tissue from the increase in size of its cells.
What is atrophy?
A progressive and degeneration or shrikage of muscles or nerve tissues
What are some causes of cell Injury?
Hypoxia
Physical agents
Temperature, trauma, radiation
Chemical agents
Drugs etc
Immunologic reactions
Infectious agents
Genetic derangements
Nutritional imbalances
What mode if action does trauma take in cellular injury?
Mechanical disruption of tissue
What mode if action does Contact with strong acid
take in cellular injury?
Coagulates tissue protein
What mode if action does Carbon Monoxide inhalation take in cellular injury?
Prevents oxygen transport
What mode if action does Paracetamol Overdose
take in cellular injury?
Metabolites bind to liver cell protein and lipoproteins
What mode if action does Bacterial Infections
take in cellular injury?
Toxins and enzymes
What mode if action does Ionising radiations
take in cellular injury?
Damage to DNA
5 general biochemical mechanisms?
ATP depletions
Oxygen and oxygen derived free radicals
Loss of intercellular calcium hemostasis
Defects in membrane permeability
Irreversible mitochondrial damage
What are three different types of Cell injury?
Reversible cell injury
Irreversible cell injury
Ischaemic/Reperfusion injury
What is reversible cell injury?
Cell swelling, pallor, hydropic change, vacuolar degeneration
What is irreversible cell injury?
Mitochondrial swelling, lysosomes swells, damage to membrane, leakages of enzymes
What is Ischaemic/ Reperfusion injury?
New damage on reperfusion mediated by free oxygen radicals
What are some examples of reversible Cell injury?
Decrease generation of ATP
Loss of cell membrane integrity
Defects in protein synthesis and DNA damage
