Q

What are some examples of irreversible cell injury?

A

Sever mitochondrial changes
Extensive damage to plasma membranes
Swelling of lysosomes

21
Q

How does cellular swelling occur?

A
  1. Decrease in ATP
  2. Decrease in activity of Na/K Pump
  3. Increase in Na in the cell
  4. Increase in water in cell (Osmosis)
  5. Cellular swelling
22
Q

Describe one pathway of Enzymatic Degradation Cell?

A
  1. Membrane damage to Lysosomes
  2. Leakage of Lysosomal Enzymes into Cytosol
    3.Enzymatic Degradation of the cell
23
Q

Describe the pathway of Enzymatic degradation of cell starting with damage to cell membrane?

A
  1. Damage to cell membrane
  2. Increase in Ca in cell
  3. Ca activates proteases and other enzymes
    4.Enzymatic degradation of Cell
24
Q

Describe a pathway to trigger Apoptosis?

A
  1. Damage to Mitochondria
  2. Cyt C leakage
  3. Activates Caspaces
    Triggers apoptosis
25
Q

Characteristics of Apoptosis?

A

Programmed cell death
Individual cell deletion in physiological growth control and in disease
Activated or prevented by many stimuli
Increased apoptosis results in excessive cell loss e.g, atrophy

26
Q

Characteristics of Necrosis?

A

Death of tissue following bioenergy failure and loss of plasma membrane integrity

Includes inflammation and repair

27
Q

How does necrosis effect cell size?

A
  • Cellular swelling
  • Many cells affected
28
Q

How does apoptosis affect cell size?

A

Cellular shrinkage
One cell affected

29
Q

How does necrosis affect cell uptake?

A

Cells contents ingested by macrophages
Significant inflammation

30
Q

How does apoptosis affect cell uptake?

A

Cell contents ingested by neighbouring cells
No inflammatory response

31
Q

How does necrosis affect cell membrane?

A

Loss of membrane integrity
Cell lysis occurs

32
Q

How does apoptosis affect cell membrane?

A

Membrane blebbing, but integrity maintained
Apoptotic bodies form

33
Q

How does necrosis affect cell organelles?

A

Organelle swelling and lysosomal leakage
Random degradation of DNA

34
Q

How does apoptosis affect cell organelles?

A
  • Mitochondria release pro-apoptotic proteins
    Chromatin condensation and non-random DNA degradation
35
Q

What is the process of Autophagy?

A
  • Increased quantity of autophagosomes formation Atg proteins participation
    No inflammatory response
36
Q

Is necrosis ‘programmed’ or ‘accidental’?

A

Accidental

37
Q

Is apoptosis ‘programmed’ or ‘accidental’?

A

Programmed

38
Q

Name 6 different types of Necrosis?

A
  1. Coagulative
  2. Liquefactive
  3. Gangrenous
  4. Caseous
  5. Fat necrosis
  6. Fibrinoid necrosis
39

40
Q

Given an example of coagulative necrosis?

A

41
Q

Describe liquefactive necrosis?

A
