ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY WALDEN
UNIVERSITY
Phagocytosis
process in which extensions of cytoplasm surround and engulf large particles and
take them into the cell
lysosomal enzymes
can hydrolyze proteins, fats, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids
oxidative phosphorylation
When energy is released at each step of the chain is stored in a form the
mitochondrion can use to make ATP.
Glycolisis
the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.

The movement of materials through a cell membrane without using energy
active transport
the movement of materials through a cell membrane using energy
Cellular Adaptation
the cell's response to escape and protect itself from injury
cellular injury
occurs if cell is unable to maintain homeostasis
free radicals
Unstable molecules that cause biochemical aging, especially wrinkling and sagging
of the skin.
oxidative stress
a condition in which the production of oxidants and free radicals exceeds the
body's ability to handle them and prevent damage
