Study Notes
Cell Injury Types and Recovery
- Reversible cell injury: Occurs when cells can recover and reestablish health upon removal of the stressor.
- Irreversible cell injury: Results in permanent damage; cells cannot regain function after the removal of physiological stress and pathological stimuli.
Causes of Cell Injury
- Common causes of cell injury: Include reduced oxygen supply, immune reactions, infections, and toxicity.
- Not a cause of cell injury: Undefined in the provided questions; requires clarification.
- Reduction of oxygen supply: Major factor leading to cellular injury is hypoxia, which severely limits aerobic metabolism.
- Infectious agents: Various forms, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, can induce cell injury through pathogen-induced damage.
Immune Reaction Mechanisms
- Immune-mediated cell injury: Involves antibodies or T-cells targeting exogenous (non-self) antigens, primarily seen in autoimmune diseases or reactions.
- Type of immune reaction: Can cause injury through mechanisms like hypersensitivity or allergic reactions.
Cellular Accumulation
- Normal cellular constituents: Examples include lipids or proteins that can accumulate in excess due to metabolic issues or pathological conditions.
- Primary causes of accumulation: Abnormal exogenous substances often result from environmental toxins or infectious agents, affecting cellular functions.
- Common accumulation sites: Substances frequently accumulate within the cytoplasm or organelles of the cell.
Metabolic Implications
- Normal endogenous substance accumulation: Happens when metabolic processes are inadequate to eliminate substances, leading to conditions like fatty liver disease.
- Abnormal substance production: Cells may generate excess normal substances due to metabolic disorders, contributing to pathological states.
