concentration gradients. This pumping is active and is important for cell physiology. An example

Factors Affecting Cell Injury
• kind, severity, and duration of injury.
• Type of cells affected,
• Adaptive mechanisms are available
Outcome of cell injury
• Morphologic changes:
- cell swelling (within minutes)
- chromatin clumping

1,000 rad are almost invariably fatal
A free radical prefers to steal electrons from the lipid membrane of a cell, initiating
a free radical attack on the cell known as lipid peroxidation. This results in damage
to cell membrane that impair its function. The immune cells of the body give a
burst of these free radicals to kill the germs when we become infected with
bacteria, fungus, and parasites. These free radicals if release outside the cell can
cause damage to surrounding tissue also.
Oxygen therapy, also known as supplemental oxygen, is the use of oxygen as a
medical treatment. This can include for low blood oxygen, carbon monoxide
toxicity and to maintain enough oxygen while inhaled anesthetics are given. Long
term oxygen is often useful in people with chronically low oxygen such as from
severe COPD or cystic fibrosis
