Second section Flashcards
physical injury or loss of a cells normal structural integrity
trauma
types of trauma
direct contact hypothermia hyperthermia mechanical pressure micro organisms
what is direct contact truama
getting hit
hemorrhage
battles sign
raccoon eye
exposure to low temperature
hypothermia
frostbite
what happens to the cell during hypothermia
cell freezes
increases in size
ruptures the cell membrane
what does hypothermia lead to
amputation
non reversable damage
exposure to high temperature
hyperthermia
exposure to fire causes
greater than 42 degrees C
protein coagulation occurs
transformation of carbon
exposure to high temp via ionizing rad
release of heat energy by ionizing particles
leads to burns
exposure to electric current
high voltage can burn
what is mechanical cell pressure
pressure atrophy
cells are crushed as they cannot resist the pressure
what are the types of mechanical pressure
tumor
aneurysm
high intensity sound
kidney stones
common sites of aneurysm
congenital weak muscular layers of arteries
cerebral arteries near bifurcations are a common site
subarachnoid hemorrhagic stroke–> rupture
how do kidney stones cause mechanical pressure
accumulation of urine- cannot compress fluid increased hydrostatic pressure- in the kidney
which will raise osmotic pressure
two particular microorganisms causing trauma
malaria
echinococcus
where does malaria develope?
within the red blood cell
what type of mosquito carries the malaria plasmodium
anaphelus mosquito
how does malaria proceed
protozoa infects the red blood cells causing them to rupture every few days
what is echinococcus
a worm
how is echinococcus acquired
eat infected meat with the worms eggs
where does the echinococcus cause the most issues
liver
brain
kidney
what does the echinococcus parasite look like
a balloon cyts
infects any tissue and will rupture the surrounding cells
cloudy swelling
hydropic degeneration
hydropic changes
what happens in hydropic changes
problems in one area cause steps that lead to problems in the entire body
