Term
What happens in Nutritional cell injury?
Definition
can have excess or deficiencies
can also have total deficit (starvation)
Term
What is infection and immunologic cell injury?
Definition
due to biologic agents
-viruses, bacteria, parasites ect..
man injury mechanisms.
Term
What is chemical injury
Definition
air, water, gases, ect..
ex: nitrates in bacon give u cancer
Also in drugs (recreational & theraputic)
Term
Physical & Mechanic Injury
Definition
body impact
temp extremes
hot-coagulates blood, denatures protiens
cold- ice crystals form vaso constriction
cells explode
Term
electrical injury?
Definition
4th degree burns - lightning
disrupt neural & cardiac impulses
radiation injury
Term
