Responses to cell and tissue injury Flashcards
What is an acute cell injury?
when the environmental changes exceed cells capability to maintain normal homeostasis
What is sublethal injury?
damage is caused to cell but no death
What are the types of sublethal injury?
- hydropic change
- fatty change
WHat are the types of irreversible cell injury?
- necrosis
- apoptosis
What are the types of irreversible cell injury?
- necrosis
- apoptosis
What is hydropic change?
- accumulation of water in the cell
- early sign of cellular degeneration
What is fatty change?
“steatosis”
- abnormal retention of lipids in a cell
What is oncosis?
Oncosis refers to a series of cellular reactions following injury that precedes cell death. -non-apoptopic
What is necrosis?
cell death following bioenergetic failure and loss of plasma membrane integrity
- induces inflammation and repair
What is apoptosis?
- the death of cells which occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organisms growth or development
- breaks up into tiny fragments
What does reduced apoptosis result in?
cells don’t die when they should - cancer
- neoplasia
- autoimmune disease
- virus infection
What does increased apoptosis result in?
neurodegenerative disorders
HIV infection of T lymphocytes
What causes apoptosis and necrosis?
a- physiological or pathological
n - pathological
What does apoptosis and necrosis effect?
a - single cells
n - cell groups
What happens in apoptosis and necrosis?
a - energy dependent fragmentation of DNA
n - abnormal ion homeostasis
What happens to the cell membrane integrity in apoptosis and necrosis?
a - maintained
n - lost
What happens to the morphology of cells in apoptosis and necrosis?
a - cell shrinkage and fragmentation
n - cell swelling and lysis
