Path 1.2 Necrosis Flashcards
types of necrosis
coagulative, liquifactive, caseous, fat, fibrinoid, gangrenous
coagulative
preservation of cell outlines of dead cells,
intense staining with eosin, more eosin binding sites bc the cell is dying
liquifactive necrosis
tissue turns to liquid
liquifactive necrosis etiology
occurs in absess (liquid-pus–a collection of neutrophils),
also occurs in the CNS (bc the brain when its injured does everything it can to maintain its 3D structure - surrounding brain tissue froms a gliosis to try and keep the 3D structure in the brain - by forming scars
caseous necrosis
cheese-like (cream cheese)
caseous necrosis etiology
majority is due to granulomas inflammation and TB.
Some fungi can also form this, this is the macrophages forming this by releasing cytokines that kill the tissue in the particular area
fat necrosis
chalky white lesion - you get soaponification of fat liberating the fatty acid that react with calcium to form calcium salts in fatty acid.
Drop in calcium concentration is something you would see in fat necrosis
fat necrosis example
injury to pancreas and it releases enzymes like lipases,
the lipases react with the fatty deposits in the omentum
ex 2 of fat necrosis
fatty area of the body subjected to trauma
–>whole area of fat dies and just goes away
Fibrinoid necrosis
walls of organs, bc of damage to the vessles. Caused by malignant hypertension and vasculitis due to increased permeability of vessel walls
