Study Notes
Cellular Injury Mechanisms
- Cell membrane damage: Disrupts regulating what enters and exits the cell, leading to leaking of cellular components and potential digestion of intracellular components.
- Examples: Weight training, physical trauma.
- Protein misfolding or DNA damage: Can be caused by exposure to radiation or carcinogens.
- Examples: UV radiation, chemicals.
- Mitochondrial damage: Can lead to cell membrane damage, protein misfolding, and DNA damage.
- Calcium entry into the cell: Can occur due to cell membrane dysfunction, ion channel changes, or diffusion gradient imbalances.
- Impacts mitochondrial permeability and activates enzymes.
- Ischemia: Insufficient oxygen delivery to tissue:
- Examples: Heart attack (cardiac muscle), stroke (brain tissue).
- Leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced ATP production, sodium-potassium pump malfunction, and impaired protein synthesis.
- Can result in membrane damage.
Cell Response to Stress
- Hypertrophy: Increase in cell size without an increase in cell number.
- Example: Weight training.
