Cell Injury

        Help!  

Question
Answer
etiology   cause of disease  
🗑
pathogenesis   mechanism of disease development  
🗑
homeostasis   Cell maintains itself within narrow range of parameters  
🗑
Pathology   Discipline bridging clinical practice and basic science  
🗑
Pathology (GREEK)   Study (logos) of suffering (pathos)  
🗑
Pathology studies:   Causes of disease and underlying mechanism  
🗑
Two kinds of cell death   a. necrosis and b. apoptosis  
🗑
Necrosis   Many causes; inflammation, etc., but appears in response to stress  
🗑
Hypertrophy   Increase in size of individual cells  
🗑
Hypertrophy ex.   Myocardium--heart has hypertension, cells enlarge to handle increased load  
🗑
atrophy   Decrease in size  
🗑
Necrosis -4 methods   ischemia, toxin exposure, infection, trauma  
🗑
Necrosis-characteristics   severe cell damage; loss of cell contents, pathological process  
🗑
apoptosis-characterstics   active cell death-not associated with pathologic cell injury  
🗑
hypoxia -4 kinds   Ischemia, anoxia, cellular responses, reperfusion injury  
🗑
Ischemia   Loss of blood supply from impeded arterial flow  
🗑
Anoxia   Absence or almost complete absence of oxygen from inspired gases, arterial blood, or tissues.  
🗑
Reperfusion Injury   myocardial impairment, usually with arrhythmia, following the opening of arterial blockage and considered to be due to oxygen-derived free radicals.  
🗑
Chemical injury to cells 5   Lead, carbon monoxide, ethanol, mercury - street drugs  
🗑
Etiology -2   1. The science and study of the causes of disease and their mode of operation.  
🗑
Anaphylactic reaction   An induced systemic or generalized sensitivity; at times the term anaphylaxis is used for anaphylactic shock. The term is commonly used to denote the clinical reaction seen with system IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reaction. Multivalent antigen crosslinks  
🗑
Free radicals   1. an atom or atom group having an unpaired electron on an oxygen atom, typically derived from molecular oxygen. For example, 1-electron reduction of O2 produces the superoxide radical, Ō2·; other examples include the hydroperoxyl radical (HOO·), the hydr  
🗑
Free radicals / reactive oxygen species   electrically uncharged atom - or group of atoms having an unpaired electron  
🗑
What do free radicals do?   a. Lipid peroxidation b. alteration of proteins c. alteration of DNA d. mechanisms for the inactivation of free readical  
🗑
Inactivation of free radicals   Because free radical generation is a normal part of respiration, cells must have a way to handle--they are unstable and decay spontaneously  
🗑
Lipid peroxidation   In liver--carbon tetrachloride converted to free radical in liver; "fatty liver" from cellular breakdown  
🗑
Phagocytosis-by scavenger white blood cells   1. The process of ingestion and digestion by cells of solid substances, other cells, bacteria, bits of necrotic tissue, foreign particles  
🗑
metaplasia   Reversible change-adult cells are "replaced" by another cell type  
🗑
Metaplasia - ex.   In lungs of smokers, normal cells are replaced by "squamous" cells which are thought to be hardy--but they can continue to transform into cancer cells  
🗑
creatine kinase- what does is mean when found in circulation?   Cardiac muscle contains it--it it's circulating in blood, indicates injury to heart  
🗑
Two phenomena which characterize irreversible cell damage   1.) Mitochondrial dysfunction (lack of oxidative phophorylation & ATP Generation) and 2.) development of profound disturbance in cell membrane  
🗑
Four causes of membrane damage   a.) loss of membrane phospholipids  
🗑
phospholipids   any of numerous lipids (as lecithins and phosphatidylethanolamines) in which phosphoric acid as well as a fatty acid is esterified to glycerol and which are found in all living cells and in the bilayers of cell membranes  
🗑
Cytoskeletal abnormalities are caused by...   Activation of proteases by increased intracellular calcium  
🗑
protease   any of numerous enzymes that hydrolyze proteins and are classified according to the most prominent functional group (as serine or cysteine)  
🗑
Toxic oxygen radicals   Cell death - during reperfusion, partially reduced oxygen species are highly toxic  
🗑
Cell death - lipid breakdown products   Accumulate in ischemic cells & have a detergent effect on membranes  
🗑
autophagy   digestion of cellular constituents by enzymes of the same cell  
🗑
hyperplasia   increase in number of cells  
🗑
plasia   development : formation <dysplasia> <heteroplasia>  
🗑
morphology   the form and structure of an organism or any of its parts  
🗑
cytokine   any of a class of immunoregulatory proteins (as interleukin, tumor necrosis factor, and interferon) that are secreted by cells especially of the immune system  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
