Study Notes
- Cell injury can be reversible or irreversible
- Reversible injuries occur when the cell can restore homeostasis
- Irreversible injuries result in cell death, known as necrosis
- In irreversible cell injury, intracellular proteins denature and autolysis occurs.
- The cell swells, ruptures, and releases lysosomal enzymes.
- Reversible cell injury increases intracellular ions, interstitial fluids merge into the cytosol, cell volume increases, and the cell membrane blebs.
- Ischemia means blood flow is insufficient or absent.
- Causes include circulatory issues, metabolism problems, inadequate respiratory transport, and cardiovascular transport issues.
- Infections can cause cell injury; the most common are bacterial and viral.
- Immune reactions caused by hypersensitivities or autoimmune disorders can also injure cells.
- Bacterial infections can invade the host, triggering an inflammatory response and producing endotoxins and exotoxins
- Endotoxins induce cytokines and systemic symptoms of sepsis
- Exotoxins damage host cells directly.
- Viral infections can be RNA or DNA viruses, affecting cells directly or indirectly.
- RNA viruses disrupt cell integrity
- DNA viruses signal the cell's destruction.
- Chemical factors causing cell injury include carbon monoxide, ammonia, heavy metals, alkylating agents, and free radicals.
- Carbon monoxide and ammonia cause most injuries and death
- Free radicals damage cell membranes and are linked to cancer, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.
- Physical factors of cell injury will include blunt trauma, temperature extremes, radiation and electricity
- Mechanical factors of physical injury are different from increased stress from exercise
- Nutritional causes example, Vitamin B12 deficiency leads to neuropathy.
- Neuropathy is a general term for injuries that cause nerve death or injury.
- Calcium deficiency leads to poor bone quality
- Protein malnutrition leads to weight loss due to low protein levels.
- Psychosocial factors impact activity level and participation, influencing thresholds for tissue adaptation and injury.
- Inflammation cardinal signs include:
- Redness: Vasodilation increases blood flow due to histamine and prostaglandins.
- Heat: Increased blood flow from the body's core.
- Swelling: Capillary fluid shift mechanism causes protein and water movement.
- Pain: Mechanical pain is caused by swelling and edema pressing on tissues
- Biochemical pain: inflammatory mediators at the site irritate bare nerve endings.
- Necrosis is the endpoint of a pathological process; involves cell death due to injury
- Apoptosis is programmed cell death that does not require triggers
- Adaptations can take place within cells due to injury and can alter their functions
- Adaptation cellular includes:
- Atrophy: reduced organ size
- Bone loss, muscle wasting, brain cell loss
- Hypertrophy: cell organ increases in size such in the tissue
- Increase endometrium
- Hyperplasia: increases cell numbers in the tissue
- Callous when underr mechanical pressure
- Metaplasia: change in cell morphology
- Smoking
- Hypertrophy: cell organ increases in size such in the tissue
- Acute inflammation major components: exudation of fluid and plasma proteins and the migration of leukocytes, primarily neutrophils, to the injury site
- Chronic inflammation major component: inflammation does not resolve, but persists over time
- Vascular reactions in the area where :
- Accumulation is exudation
- General muscle atrophy typically occurs in one-joint muscles, as two-joint muscles are less immobilized by typical immobilization methods
- Immobilization of a joint causes atrophic changes in articular cartilage by reducing matrix proteoglycans and cartilage softening
- Three components: Load deprivation results which - loss in ligament strength - Deterioration in ligament biochemical and mechanical properties - Atrophy (decreas of mass)
- Main key features of joint capsules
- Connect and the joint with ligaments and tendons
- Transmit muscle to bones during jointing motions
- By producing joint motions and ligaments to protect the parallel allignment
- Transmit muscle to bones during jointing motions
- Connect and the joint with ligaments and tendons
- Joint capsules: resists loads innjury </existing_notes>
