Q

Causes of Liquificative Necrosis

A

Necrotic Lesions of the brain, suppurative inflammation (abscess, has puss): puss attracts proteolytic enzymes of neutrophils

Q

Enzymatic Fat Necrosis is caused by?

A

Release of pancreatic enzymes into surrounding tissue (pancreatitis)

17
Q

Mechanism of Enzymatic Fat Necrosis:

A

Phospholipases attack plasma membrane

18
Q

What is the appearance of Enzymatic Fat Necrosis?

A

Chalky white, caused by amino acids and

19
Q

Traumatic Fat Necrosis is caused by?

A

Trauma (not enzymatic digestion) to fatty tissue

20
Q

Mechanism of Traumatic Fat Necrosis:

A

Release of intracellular fat —> acute

inflammation and fibrosis —> firm mass mistaken for breast cancer

21
Q

Fibrinoid Necrosis occurs where?

A

blood vessels (in tunica media)

22
Q

Causes of Fibrinoid Necrosis:

A

Malignant Hypertension, Autoimmune Diseases: Rheumatoid Arthritis

23
Q

Mass necrosis of tissue due to vascular occlusion followed by putrefaction

24
Q
  • Occurs in TOES and FEET due to occlusion of arteries due to DIABETES —>(COAGULATIVE NECROSIS)
  • Necrotic tissue is dry, shrunken, mummified and black
  • Bacterial Infection: minimal
  • LINE OF DEMARCATION between gangrenous area and adjacent living tissue
A

Dry Gangrene

25
- Occurs in limbs (crush injury), internal organs (intestinal strangulation) ---> occlusion of both artery and vein - Necrotic tissue swollen, moist and black - Severe bacterial infection, liquifaction of dead tissue and toxemia (LIQUIFACTIVE NECROSIS)
Wet Gangrene
26
- Both tissue necrosis and putrification are caused by BACTERIA - Due to contamination of DEEP WOUNDS involving muscles with CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS - palpation of tissue produces CRACKLING SENSATION (CO2 and H2S)
Gas Gangrene
27
Death of single cells within a cluster of living cells
Apoptosis
28
The following are features of what?
Cell shrinkage, apoptotic bodies (fragmentation of cell), surface blebs from membrane
29
In apoptosis, cell fragments are eaten by:
Phagocytes
30
Physiological Causes of Apoptoss:
- lumina in hollow organs during embryogenesis - Involution of thymus in adults - deletion of self reactive lymphocytes in thymus
31
Pathological Causes of Apoptosis:
- Cell Injury in Viral Hepatitis ---> apoptotic bodies (known as COUNCILMAN BODIES)
