Why do cells and intracellular organelles typically become swollen in Reversible injuryBecause they take in
water as a result of the failure of energy-dependent ion pumps (Na-K- ATPase ) -
Name 3 common characterisations of irreversible cell injury1. inability to restore mitochondrial function
2. loss of structure and functions of the plasma membrane and intracellular membranes.
3. the loss of DNA and chromatin structural integrity. -
During
Necrosis , the contents of the cell areleaked . These contents may cause further damage to the surrounding cells. How does your body react to this?Necrosis elicits inflammation , that is induced by substances
released from dead cells and which serves to eliminate the debris and start the subsequent repair process.
Theenzymes responsible for digestion of the cell are derived fromlysosomes and may come from the dying cells themselves or fromleukocytes recruited as part of theinflammatory reaction. -
Name a characteristic cause of Coagulative necrosis
infarcts (areas of necrosis caused by ischemia) in all solid organs except the brain. -
What is characteristic for
Liquefactive necrosis
Dead cells are completely digested, transforming the tissue into
a viscous liquid that is eventually removed by phagocytes. Often it is associated with focal bacterial or fungal infections E.g. Brain infarct -
What is characteristic for Caseous necrosisOften caused by TB, 'Cheeselike'
-
What is characteristic for Fibrinoid necrosisIt is a special form. occurs in immune reactions in which complexes of antigens and antibodies are deposited in the walls of blood vessels. This causes a bright pink, amorphous appearance.
