Cards

Term
Causes of Cell injury
Definition
Deficiency, Intoxication, Trauma
Term
Deficiency
Definition
Lack of substance necessary to cell
Term

Primary nurtrient deficiency

 

Definition

Lack of oxygen- hypoxia

Lack of energy source/ vitamins

Term
Secondary nutrient deficiency
Definition

nutrient is present in diest but cannot be absorbed

ex: Pernicious anemia

Term
Exogenous Intoxification
Definition

substances that arise outside of the cell

  • Biologic: bacteria, fungi, protozoa
  • non-biologic: corrosive substances, drugs, chemicals
Term
Endogenous Intoxication
Definition
arise inside of cell
Term
Genetic defect
Definition
  1. Direct: causes toxic substance i.e Huntington's
  2. Indirect: non toxic substance, providing alternative pathway
Term
Trauma
Definition
Loss of cells structural integrity
Term
Causes of Trauma to cell
Definition
  1. Temperature
  2. Burns
  3. Radiation
  4. Mechanical Pressure
  5. Infection

 

Term
Determinats of effects of injury
Definition
  1. nature of causative agent
  2. intensity
  3. duration
  4. number of exposures
Term
Adaptive Responses
Definition
  1. Alternative metabolism
  2. altered size
  3. cell stress proteins
  4. organelle changes
Term
Hypertrophy
Definition

Increase in size from +workload

seen in cardic and skeletal muscle

Term
Phisiologic Hypertrophy
Definition
Increase muscle mass due to exercise
Term
Pathologic Hypertrophy
Definition
myocardial from valvular heart disease/ hypertension
Term
Copensator Hypertrophy
Definition
enlargement of remaining organ after portion has been removed-- liver regeneration
Term
Hyperplasia
Definition
Mitosis-- increase in number
Term
Apoptosis
Definition

Self destruction--programmed cell death

when cells are weak, damaged, or unneeded

Term
Atrophy
Definition
decrease in work demands leads to smaller cell size
Term
Disuse atrophy
Definition

reduction in skeletal muscle

i.e an arm that's been casted

Term
Denervation atrophy
Definition
Loss of muscle due to paralyzed limbs
Term
Pressure Atrophy
Definition

shrinking of cells due to long term pressure

i.e tumor expansion

Term
Cell stress proteins
Definition

help cells cope with injury

  1. bind to damaged proteins before they clump
  2. stabalize so they can refold
  3. bind to damaged proteins for easier passage through membrane
Term
Residual Bodies
Definition

derived from phagosomes

Lipofuscin granules- contain undigested cell membrane lipids, causes no harm to cell

Term
Irreversible structural changes
Definition
  1. Loss of plasma membrane integrity
  2. mitochondrial and ER membranes
  3. lower lysosome count
  4. distruption of cytoskeleton
  5. altered nucleus
Term
Karyolysis
Definition
dissolution of nucleus
Term
pyknosis
Definition
nucleus shrinks and condenses
Term
karyorrhexis
Definition
pyknosis nucleus undergoes fragmentation
Term
Necrosis
Definition
refers to cell death in an organ that is still part of a living person
Term
Necrosis differs from apoptosis:
Definition
  1. only released after lethal injury
  2. cells swell and rupture
  3. initaition of inflammatory response
Term
Coagulation necrosis
Definition

acidosis denatures enzymatic proteins in cell

architecture of tissue is retained

in all solid organs but the brain

Term
Caseous necrosis
Definition

Tb

looks like cheese like debris

Term
Gangrenous Necrosis
Definition

due to anaerobic bacteria

Dry: similar to frost bite--shrinks

Wet: liquidification debris--cold, swollen--diabetic feet

Term
Putrefacation
Definition
anaerobic bacteria in oxygen deprived necrotic tissue
Term
Liquefaction necrosis
Definition

pus in abses

cells die but catalytic enzymes are not destroyed

Term
Dystrophic calcification
Definition

any necrosis tissue/ abnormal

dead/dying tissue

formation of crystalline calcium phosphate

Term
metastatic calcification
Definition

normal tissue

result of hypercalcemia

Term
Ischemia
Definition

increased blood supply

CNS very sensitive
