Q

What is the major cause of cellular damage

A

Free radicals

  • radiation
  • hypoxia/ ischmia
  • Toxins
  • Inflammatory mediators
  • Iron propagated free radicals
  • Degraded by catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione,

Q

Apoptosis

A
energy requiring programmed cell death
Often normal phenomenon
No inflamation.
happens in
-normal embryology
-normal cell turnover
-viral infection
-cell damage(DNA, unfolded proteins)
-Immunologically mediated
-hormone withdrawal

Q

Necrosis

A
Uncoordinated cell death.
cell membrane disrupition. 
ATP depletion
cells often swollen(loss of ion pump)
cell content leak causing acute inflammation.
