What is the most common cause of cellular injury? - ANSWER-
hypoxia (lack of
oxygen)
Where does coagulative necrosis primarily occur? - ANSWER-
heart, kidneys,
and adrenal
gland
liquefactive necrosis - ANSWER-results from ischemic injury to
neurons and glial cells in the brain; also the process involved
in abscess formation; selfdigestion leads to liquid which is
encapsulated in cyst and abscesses
caseous necrosis - ANSWER-degeneration and death of tissue
with a cheese-
,like
appearance; TB
what type of necrosis is the combination of coagulative
and liquefactive
necrosis? - ANSWER-caseous
necrosis
where does fat necrosis occur? - ANSWER-breast,
pancreas, and other
abdominal
organs
fat necrosis - ANSWER-caused by lipase; lipases break
down triglycerides, releaseing free fatty acids which then
combine w/ Ca, Mg, and Na, creating
soaps; the necrotic tissue appears opaque and
chalk white
What is the most common cause of hypoxia? - ANSWER-
ischemia (reduced
blood
supply)
, The _______________ prevents water soluble molecules from
entering cells
across the plasma membrane - ANSWER-Phospholipid layer
chemical injury to cells - ANSWER-begins w/ a biochemical
interaction between
a toxic substance and the cell's plasma membrane
(which is ultimately
damaged)-->leading to increased
permeability
examples of chemical injury - ANSWER-carbon tetrachloride
(CC14) converts into a free radical; chemical poisoning
including lead, carbon monoxide, and ethanol
Physical Injury of Cell - ANSWER-direct trauma from
external force;
inflammatory
response
Mitochondria - ANSWER-Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that
is the site of ATP (energy) production; pathway for metabolism
of carbs, lipids, and amino acids into ATP; to keep the cell
alive; can grow and self-replicate in the cell
