🗑
What is apoptosis? What is key?   internally programmed series of events to eliminate unwanted cells; cell does NOT spill into extracellular space  
🗑
What are reversible changes in cell injury morphology?   swelling, vacuole formation, blebbing, polysomes detatch from rER, nucleoulus may segregate  
🗑
What are irreversible changes in cell injury?   all ribosomes fall off rER; cytoplasm becomes eosinophilic, holes in membrane, breakdown of DNA in nucleus

🗑
What is karyorrhexis?   DNA fragmentation in cell injury  
🗑
What is hydropic change?   cellular swelling (edema) in reversible cell injury  
🗑
What is necrosis?   irreversible cellular injury, always pathologic, associated with karyolysis, contents SPILL out into extracellular space  
🗑
What are the types of necrosis?   Coagulative, Liquefactive, Caseous, Enzymatic Fat, Fibrinoid, Gangrenous  
🗑
What is dysplasia?   disordered growth, usually squamous epithelial cells w/ chronic injury; further down the road than metaplasia  
🗑
Coagulative necrosis. What and Where   ischemia, hypoxia, reperfusion injury; most organs except brain  
🗑
Liquefactive necrosis. What and Where   Abcess filled with puss in non-connective tissue; Brain  
🗑
Caseous necrosis. What and Where   soft, friable, cheesy; granular due to lack of cell wall degredation; TB and Fungi  
🗑
Enzymatic fat necrosis. What and Where   lipase action; calcium and FAs form soap-like, white chalky; pancreatitis and Fat inflammation  
🗑
Fibrinoid necrosis. What and Where   plasma protein build-up in blood vessels; eosinophilic stain  
🗑
Gangrenous necrosis. What and Where   dead limb due to loss of circulation  
🗑
What is wet gangrene?   gangrene plus bacterial infection  
🗑
What are the mechanisms that cause reperfusion injury?   ROS damage (disrupts lipids, DNA, proteins), activation of neutrophils and complement pathway  
🗑
What stimulates the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis?   bax, bak, cyt C, caspases  
🗑
What stimulates the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis?   Fas, TNF, caspases  
🗑
What are the stages of apoptosis?   Initation, signals that commit, execution by caspases and endosomes, removal of dead cell  
🗑
What happens to the ER in cell injury?   dilates; rER loses ribosomes  
🗑
What are characteristics of again?   progressive, gradual, intrinsic, universal, deleterious  
🗑
Describe progeria   acceleration of aging; life span<10; mutation in LMNA gene leading to build up of progerin and disorganization of heterochromatin  
🗑
Describe Werner syndrome   autosomal recessive; loss of fxn of WRN gene that codes for ATPase, helicase, exonuclease, strand annealing  
🗑
What is heterophagy?   materials from external environment taken up through endocytosis  
🗑
What is pinocytosis?   uptake of smaller solubule material  
🗑
What are residual bodies?   undigested material that may persist in the lysosomes  
🗑
Describe lipofuscin pigment granules.   indigestible material resulting from intracellular free radical lipid peroxidation  
🗑
What is induction of smooth ER?   hypertrophy of ER to increase effectiveness of metabolizing compounds  
🗑
What is P-450 modification?   mixed function oxidase system in hepatocyte SER; increases solubility of compounds and facilitates excretion (for detox)  
🗑
What happens to mitochondria in cellular hypertrophy?   increase in the number of mitochondria  
🗑
What are the three categories of substances that can be "stockpiled" in a cell?   normal cellular components in excess; abnormal substances; pigments  
🗑
What are the three pathways for excess intracellular accumulations?   decreased metabolic rate; defects in metabolism/packaging/transport/secretion; exogenous indigestable substance  
🗑
What is steatosis?   any abnormal accumulation of triglycerides within parenchymal cells  
🗑
What are the most common causes of fatty change in the liver in industrialized nations?   alcohol abuse and diabetes associated with obesity  
🗑
How does anoxia affect steatosis?   decrease in fatty acid oxidation  
🗑
What does steatosis look like?   nuclei appear pushed to periphery of fatty vacuoles; seen in liver and heart  
🗑
What are foam cells?   macrophages filled with numerous membrane-bound vacuoles of lipid
