Study Notes

Cell Death and Injury

Physiology: Study of normal functions and processes that occur within living organisms.
Pathology: Study of the nature of diseases, including their causes, mechanisms, and consequences.
Pathophysiology: Study of the changes that occur within the body as a result of disease.
Necrosis: Unprogrammed cell death resulting from external factors, such as inflammation, injury, or infection, leading to cell membrane rupture and release of cellular contents.
Apoptosis: Programmed cell death, a natural process in which cells self-destruct in a controlled manner, characterized by cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing, and chromatin condensation.
Necrosis: Characterized by cell swelling, rupture of the cell membrane, and inflammation.
Apoptosis: A regulated process that occurs in response to specific stimuli, such as DNA damage, growth factor withdrawal, or viral infections.
Etiology of cellular death: Can be caused by various factors, including genetic mutations, environmental toxins, and viral infections.
Programmed cell death: A natural process that eliminates damaged or unwanted cells, playing a crucial role in development, tissue homeostasis, and disease prevention.
Nuclear changes in necrosis: Characterized by karyolysis, pyknosis, or karyorrhexis, leading to the destruction of the nucleus.
Key factor that can lead to apoptosis: Activation of proapoptotic proteins, such as BAX or BAK.
Role of BH3-only proteins: Activate proapoptotic proteins, leading to the initiation of apoptosis.
Activation of proapoptotic BH3-only proteins: Can be triggered by various stimuli, including DNA damage, growth factor withdrawal, or viral infections.
Main cause of apoptosis in viral infections: Activation of proapoptotic proteins in response to viral infection.
Cellular response associated with autophagy: A catabolic process that involves the degradation of damaged or dysfunctional cellular components.
Role of the proteasome: A large protein complex that degrades damaged or misfolded proteins, playing a crucial role in protein quality control.
Main cause of oxidative stress: Imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's antioxidant defenses.
Effect of hypoxia and ischemia on cellular function: Decreased ATP production, leading to cellular dysfunction and injury.
Consequence of ischemia-reperfusion injury: Activation of oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death.
Late events in cell injury and necrosis: Characterized by the activation of inflammatory responses, cellular infiltration, and tissue remodeling.
