Questions and Answers
What is the primary difference between apoptosis and necrosis?
What is the primary difference between apoptosis and necrosis?
Apoptosis is programmed cell death, while necrosis is unregulated cell death in response to external factors such as toxins, trauma, and infection.
What is the result of oxygen deprivation in cells, and what are some possible causes of this condition?
What is the result of oxygen deprivation in cells, and what are some possible causes of this condition?
Oxygen deprivation, or hypoxia, can result in a reduction in aerobic oxidative respiration, leading to cellular injury or death. Possible causes include reduced blood flow, inadequate oxygenation of the blood, and decreased blood oxygen-carrying capacity.
What is the effect of cellular swelling on ion concentrations and water influx?
What is the effect of cellular swelling on ion concentrations and water influx?
Cellular swelling causes changes in ion concentrations and water influx, leading to a depletion of energy stores in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Study Notes
Apoptosis and Necrosis
- Apoptosis: programmed cell death, a tightly regulated suicide program controlled by specific genes
- Necrosis: unregulated cell death in response to external factors such as toxins, trauma, and infection, leading to release of cellular machinery into surrounding tissues
Cellular Injury
- Caused by:
- Oxygen deprivation (hypoxia)
- Physical agents (mechanical trauma, extreme temperatures, radiation, electric shock)
- Chemical agents and drugs
- Infectious agents
- Immunologic reactions
- Genetic derangements
- Nutritional imbalances (protein-calorie and/or vitamin deficiencies, overnutrition)
Necrotic Cell Death
- Stages:
- Swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum and membrane blebing
- Plasma membrane breakdown and cell contents leak out
- Organelle breakdown and leakage of contents
- Pro-inflammatory macrophage recruitment and inflammatory response
- Release of "volatile" intracellular components, leading to damage to surrounding cells
- Neutrophil infiltration to degrade dead cells
Apoptotic Cell Death
- Stages:
- Chromatin condenses and DNA cleaves into 200 base pair units
- Membrane blebbing
- Release of cytochrome C from mitochondria into cytosol
- Formation of an Apoptosome and activation of effector caspases
- Execution phase: activation of caspase 3, cleavage of ICAD, and fragmentation of DNA
- Apoptotic bodies are engulfed by phagocytes and recycled
Types of Necrosis
- 6 types:
- Coagulative necrosis: typically caused by ischemia or infarction, occurs in tissues such as heart, kidney, and adrenal glands
- Liquefactive necrosis: involves transformation of cellular mass into a liquid viscous mass, commonly associated with bacterial and fungal infections
- Caseous necrosis: tissue maintains a cheese-like appearance, dead tissue appears as a soft and white proteinaceous dead cell mass
- Fat necrosis: occurs when a person experiences an injury to an area of fatty tissue, resulting in fat being replaced with oily contents of fat cells
- Fibrinoid necrosis: characterized by accumulation of amorphous, basic, proteinaceous material in the tissue matrix
- Gangrenous necrosis: death of tissue due to a lack of blood flow
Morphology of Necrosis
- Result of denaturation of intracellular proteins and enzymatic digestion
- Necrotic cells unable to maintain membrane integrity, leading to leakage of contents and potential inflammation in surrounding tissue
- Enzymes that digest necrotic cells derived from lysosomes of dying cells and leukocytes
- Digestion of cellular contents and host response may take hours to develop
