Term One Flashcards
what are four mechanisms that the cell may use in response to cell stress?
defend, adapt, conserve, or replace
name some mechanisms that the cell would specifically do in response to cell stress?
manage protein synthesis, repair dmaage molecules, catabolize damage molecules discard or sequester debris or cell death
how may a cell adapt?
it may induce the gene expression and alter the gene based on activated nuclear receptors.
what happens when a protein is incorrectly folded?
they are bound to ubiquitin and degraded in proteasomes or autophagosomes.
what is lipofuscin
its dark heterogeneous lipid pigments that accumulate with age. they neurons retain the most, and its the aftermath of autophagocytosis.
what is phospholipidosis?
the impaired catabolism of membrane phospholipids by agents that buffer lysosomal pH. immunoreactive lysosome-associated membrane proteins.
what is atherosclerosis?
oxidized lipid in phagocytes in arterial walls.
what is the physiological changes in hepatic steatosis (fatty liver)
increased mobilization, and increased demand (pregnancy, egg production, insulin deficiency in diabetes, or starvation)
what is degenerative hepatic steatosis?
inadequate ATP supply
impaired apoprotein synthesis
impaired lipoprotein secretion
what are some patterns of hepatic steatosis?
adipophilin around vesicles
what are membrane blebs?
Ca+ influx causes actin filaments contraction and extrusion of organelle-free cytoplasmic blebs
what is the difference between necrosis and apoptosis?
necrosis is the enzyme digestion and leakage of cellular concents,
apoptosis is the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and fragments
what is an example in the human body where tissues have programmed cell death?
in the epidermis, where exfoliation (top layer of skin) is actually the dead cells pushed up wards, by the layer on top of the replication layer.
what are some types of insults that may lead to cell death.
- chaotropic chemical and physical denaturation (thermal, detergents)
- resource deprevation (autophagy or cell atrophy)
- impaired membrane functions (membrane pores)
- death signals (loos of mitochondria, DNA damage)
what is ischemia and hypoxia
ischemia (cut of blood flow to tissue)
hypoxia (tissue deprived of oxygen)
what are the four chemical mechanism of cell death
- covalent binding to functional molecules
- ionic interactions with functional molecules
- free radical damage to macromolecules
- activation of cell death pathways.
what are the examples of free radical damage to macromolecules?
membrane lipid peroxidation, nucleic acid breaks, molecular adducts.
what are the two types of activations of cell death pathways
intrinsic (DNA damage, mitrochondria damage)
extrinsic (Fas lignand, TNF)
what are the 5 ways cells can die
- Apoptosis (fragmentatiom, shrinkage, phagocutosis)
- Necrosis (cell swelling, membrane leakage, inflamation)
- Autophagy (lysosomal catabolism, atrophy, phagocytosis)
- Exfoliation (programmed cell death, sloughing)
- others
a) pyroptosis (lysis of infected cells)
b) Anoikis (apoptosis of detached cells)
within the pidermis what purpose do the dead cells provide?
they project basal cells from chemical injury.
