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
Q

steatosis after alcohol abuse

A

liver is heavy, yellow, greasy

round vacuoles in cells

26
Q

white vs red infarction

A

white - areas where no other blood flow

red - areas where other blood flow

27
Q

acute vs old infarction

A

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
Q

cirrhosis after alcohol abuse

A

end stage, irreversible

fibrous bands b/t triads, nodular, bile ductular proliferation, liver has shrunk

29
Q

cellular mechs of cell injury

A

dec ATP, mitochondrial injury, protein misfolding, Ca influx, ROS, membrane damage

30
Q

nuclear pyknosis

A

small, dark chromatin

31
Q

karyolysis

A

fading of chromatin

32
Q

karyohexis

A

chromatin fragmentation

33
Q

coagulative necrosis

A

architecture maintained, loss of nuclein, inflamm, WBCs

solid organs

34
Q

liquefactive necrosis

A

often bacterial, disentegration to liquid

often CNS

35
Q

caseous

A

cheese-like

often lungs TB

36
Q

fat necrosis

A

fat calcifies - saponification

pancreatitis

37
Q

dystrophic Ca deposition

A

Ca in blood is normal

follows necrotic injury

38
Q

metastatic Ca deposition

A

not after necrotic injury

Ca is high in blood
