P2 - Cellular Injury Adaptation and Death Flashcards
consequences of cell membrane injury (3 things)
- loss of Na ion pump -> cell swelling
- abnormal Ca influx -> decrease ATP production and apoptosis
- injury to rough ER -> inhibition of protein synthesis
Free radicals (3)
- O2
- H2O2
- OH
list the antioxidants used a defense mechanism against oxidative stress (5)
- superoxide dismutase (SOD)
- catalase
- glutathione preoxidase
- vitamin E
- selenium
acute oxidative injury can cause (3 things)
- nutritional myopathy
- nutritional deficiency to vitamin E &/or selenium
- demonstrates importance of antioxidative mechanisms
chronic oxidative injury can cause (3 things)
- organ failure
- accelerate aging
- carcinogenesis and neoplastic disease
main functions of mitochondria (3 things)
- fatty acid oxidation
- citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle)
- oxidatie phosphorylation
vulnerabilities of mitochondria
- diminished ATP -> cell death
- leakage fo Ca -> apoptosis
main functions on nucleus (3 things)
- storage of genetic information
- maintenance of genetic information
- transmission of genetic information
nuclear envelope can be damaged by
oxidative stress
DNA damage can occur by (4 things)
- reactive oxygen and carbonyl species
- chemical, drugs, radiation
- random mutation and replication errors
- DNA repair malfunction
causes of cell injury (9 things)
- hypoxia
- physical agents
- infectious agents
- nutritional deficiencies and imbalances
- genetic derangement
- workload imbalance
- chemical, drugs, toxins
- immunologic dysfunction
- aging
inadequate tissue oxygenation (hypoxia) causes
- reduced blood flow
- reduced oxygen saturation of blood
cell types that are most susceptible to hypoxic injury
- have high metabolic demands
- have poor bloody supply
pathogenesis of hypoxia
- lack of O2 inhibits oxidative phosphorylation -> reduction of ATP -> loss of Na/K pump -> influx of Ca, H2O, Na and efflux of K -> cell swelling
physical agents causing cell injury (6 things)
- trauma
- extreme cold
- extreme heat
- electricity
- ionizing radiation
- radiation
types of cellular response to injury (2 types)
- reversible
- irreversible
hydropic degeneration (cell swelling) occurs with (2 things)
- hypoxia
- cell membrane injury
pathogenesis of hydropic degeneration
- injury -> hypoxia -> decreased ATP -> Na and H20 influx & K efflux -> osmotic pressure increases (push in) -> H2O moves into cell -> extensive vacuolation
hydropic degeneration is a ____ cellular response to injury
- reversible
ballooning degeneration
- severe cell swelling in epidermis
- indication of viral infection
cytotoxic edema
- severe cell swelling that occurs in CNS
Necrosis is a _____ cellular response to injury
- irreverisble
apoptosis is a _____ cellular response to injury
- irreversible
oncotic necrosis
- cell swelling beyond point of no return
pathogenesis of oncotic necrosis
- inadequate ATP production -> cytosolic influx of Ca -> activation of destructive enzymatic cascade (proteases and phospholipase) -> self destruct
nuclear changes of necrosis (3 things)
- pyknosis
- karyolysis
- karyorrhexis
pyknosis nuclear change
- shrinkage
karyolysis nuclear change
- lysis of nucleus
karyorrhexis nuclear change
- fragmentation of nucleus
cytoplasmic changes of necrosis
- increased eosinophilia and homogeneity
- loss of cell boundaries - rupture
- loss of cell adhesion
types of necrosis (4 types)
- coagulation
- caseation
- liquefactive
- gangrenous
types of injury that typically result in coagulation necrosis
- sudden loss of blood supply resulting in severe acute hypoxic injury
