Term
Give the gradation of tissues by time to ischemic necrosis?
Definition
(3-5 mins) Neurons

(1/2-2 hours) Heart, liver, and kidneys

(Many hours) Epidermis, skeletal muscle, & fibroblasts
Term
What are the reversible and irreversible plasma membrane structural changes?
Definition
REVERSIBLE;
Swelling, blebs, distortion of microvilli, Loosening of intercellular attachments

IRREVERSIBLE;
-Fragmentation
Term
What are the reversible and irreversible mitochondria structural changes?
Definition
REVERSIBLE;
-Swelling

IRREVERSIBLE;
-Large densities/amorphous forms, increased swelling
Term
What are the reversible and irreversible ER structural changes?
Definition
REVERSIBLE;
-Swelling, detached ribosomes, disaggregations of polysomes (many ribosomes on mRNA)

IRREVERSIBLE;
-Intracellular aggregation of myelin figures, fragmentation
Term
Two main types of vacuolar changes?
Definition
-Hydropic; hard pale organ without nuclear displacement
-Fatty; soft pale organ with displaced nucleus
Term
Pyknosis?
Definition
-Shrinking of the nucleus
Term
Karyorrhexis?
Definition
-Fragmentation of the nucleus (broken up and scattered into cytoplasm)
Term
Karyolysis?
Definition
-Nuclear fading from DNAases and RNAases
Term
Coagulative necrosis?
Definition
-Cell boundaries are retained with proteinaceous material left inside
-From ischemia of any tissue other than brain
Term
Liquifactive necrosis?
Definition
-Loss of boundaries and material
-Most common cause is from pus producing lesion
-Can also be from brain necrosis
Term
Caseous necrosis?
Definition
-Loss of boundaries, but proteinaceous material is retained
-Gives appearance of cheese
-Can be from TB
Term
Enzymatic fat necrosis?
Definition
-Can be from premature activation of pancreatic zymogen lipases or pancreatic damage
Term
What are the two kinds of calcification?
Definition
-Metastatic calcification is from deposition of calcium in normal tissue secondary to HYPERCALCEMIA

-Dystrophic calcification is of necrotic or previous damaged tissue, such as in atherosclerosis
Term
Lipofuscin?
Definition
-Pigmented granules that accumulate in cells with age due to incomplete digestion of membrane fats
Term
What is the first sign of cell injury?
Definition
-Swelling because of no ATP for pumps
