Q

bilirubin

A

pigment: Hb breakdown

yellow

17
Q

Intrinsic/mitochondiral initiation of apoptosis

A

BCL2 -> cyto C release –> execution

18
Q

extrinsic initiation of apoptosis

A

FAS-L on T cell binds FAS receptor –> caspase cascade –> execution

19
Q

execution phase of apoptosis

A

caspase cascade –> activation of breakdown enzymes -> cell broken into apoptotic bodies, tagged with ligand to signal mphages –> mphages eat

20
Q

causes of cell injury/death

A
hypox/ischemia
physical agents
chemical agents
infx
immune rxns
genetic
nutrition
21
Q

Tx for BPH

A

5a-reductase inhibitor (dec amt of DHT)

22
Q

metaplasia after intubation

A

loss of cilia, strat squ epithelium

23
Q

hyperplasia in BPH

A

more cells, more smooth muscle and glands

24
Q

Atrophy after prolonged steroid use

A

ZF and ZR atrophy away

25
steatosis after alcohol abuse
liver is heavy, yellow, greasy | round vacuoles in cells
26
white vs red infarction
white - areas where no other blood flow | red - areas where other blood flow
27
acute vs old infarction
acute: inflammation, neutrophils, karyolysis, pyknosis, nuclear loss, discoloration, loss of striations, contractile bands of scar tissue old: scar tissue, loss of contractile ability, tissue loss
28
cirrhosis after alcohol abuse
end stage, irreversible | fibrous bands b/t triads, nodular, bile ductular proliferation, liver has shrunk
29
cellular mechs of cell injury
dec ATP, mitochondrial injury, protein misfolding, Ca influx, ROS, membrane damage
30
nuclear pyknosis
small, dark chromatin
31
karyolysis
fading of chromatin
32
karyohexis
chromatin fragmentation
33
coagulative necrosis
architecture maintained, loss of nuclein, inflamm, WBCs | solid organs
34
liquefactive necrosis
often bacterial, disentegration to liquid | often CNS
35
caseous
cheese-like | often lungs TB
36
fat necrosis
fat calcifies - saponification | pancreatitis
37
dystrophic Ca deposition
Ca in blood is normal | follows necrotic injury
38
metastatic Ca deposition
not after necrotic injury | Ca is high in blood
