Module 2 Flashcards
Is a highly complex unit in which the various organelles and enzyme systems continuously carry out the metabolic activities
Cell
The fluid outside cells or fluid in spaces between cells
Extracellular Fluid/ Intercellular Fluid
Refers to the fluid inside the cell
Intracellular Fluid
What part of the cell stains blue to purple with hematoxylin
Nucleus
What part of the cell stains red to pink with eosin
Cytoplasm
General Cause of Injury:
Caused by exposure to extreme heat or cold temperatures, sudden changes in pressure or electrical currents that causes direct damage to cell membrane
Physical
General Cause of Injury:
Caused by chemicals like arsenic, mercury and cyanide which interferes with the cellular metabolism; sine causes direct injury
Chemical
General Cause of Injury:
Caused by protein, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which causes interference in normal metabolic pathways
Nutritional
General Cause of Injury:
caused by animal pathogens
Infectious
General Cause of Injury:
caused by simply decreased oxygenation/ availability of O2 in tissues
Hypoxia
General Cause of Injury:
caused by inflammatory mediators, activation of complement system, and cellular immunity
Immune Mediated
These are normal by-products of cell metabolism but can cause peroxidation of membrane lipids
Free radicals
What are the Principal structural targets in cell upon injury
- Cell Membrane
- DNA of chromosome
- Proteins
- Mitochondria
