Study Notes
Cell Injury and Cell Death
Reversible Cell Injury
- Reversible cell injury occurs when cells are stressed or damaged, but can recover if the injurious stimulus is removed.
- Characteristics of reversible cell injury include:
- Cell swelling
- Bleb formation
- Increased eosinophilia of cytoplasm
- Loss of cellular function
- Reversible cell injury can be caused by various factors, such as:
- Ischemia (lack of blood flow)
- Hypoxia (lack of oxygen)
- Infections
- Toxins
- Nutrient deficiency
Irreversible Cell Injury (Necrosis)
- Irreversible cell injury occurs when cells are severely damaged and cannot recover, leading to cell death.
- Characteristics of irreversible cell injury include:
- Loss of cell membrane integrity
- Disruption of cellular organelles
- Release of cellular contents
- Nuclear fragmentation
- Inflammation
- Irreversible cell injury can be caused by various factors, such as:
- Severe ischemia or hypoxia
- Viral infections
- Bacterial toxins
- Chemical toxins
- Radiation
Apoptosis
- Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that occurs when cells are damaged or unwanted.
- Characteristics of apoptosis include:
- Cell shrinkage

Apoptosis
- Apoptosis is a type of programmed cell death that occurs in response to certain stimuli, such as DNA damage or viral infections.
- Apoptosis is characterized by a series of cellular changes, including:
- Condensation of chromatin

- Activation of caspases
- Release of apoptotic bodies
- Apoptosis can be initiated through various pathways, including:
- Intrinsic pathway: involving mitochondrial dysfunction and release of cytochrome c
- Extrinsic pathway: involving activation of death receptors by ligands

Cellular Adapations and Physiological Responses
- Cellular adaptations and physiological responses associated with injury are summarized at the end of the chapter.
- The early changes associated with injury mostly affect the plasma membrane, leading to a reversible injury phase.
Reversible Injury
- Reversible injury refers to structural and functional abnormalities that can be corrected if the injurious agent is removed.
- It is characterized by changes in the plasma membrane, cellular swelling, and abnormal mitochondrial function.
Irreversible Injury
- Irreversible injury leads to cell death and is often caused by severe or prolonged injury.
- It is characterized by irreversible mitochondrial damage, nuclear chromatin clumping, and eventual cell death.
Cellular Death
- Cellular death can occur due to various mechanisms, including ATP depletion, plasma membrane damage, and increase in intracellular calcium.
- It can lead to the release of cellular contents, causing inflammation and tissue damage.
Necrosis
- Necrosis is a pathologic process that results in cell death due to severe injury or ATP depletion.
- It is characterized by the release of cellular contents, causing inflammation and tissue damage.
- Necrosis can be classified into different types, including coagulative necrosis, caseous necrosis, and gangrenous necrosis.
Causes of Necrosis
- Infectious pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi, can cause necrosis by producing toxins or inducing immune responses.
- Fatty change in organs, such as the liver, can disrupt metabolic pathways and lead to necrosis.
- Eosinophilic necrosis, characterized by the accumulation of eosinophils, can occur due to various causes, including infections and allergic reactions.
Consequences of Necrosis
- Necrosis can lead to the release of cellular contents, causing inflammation and tissue damage.
- It can disrupt metabolic pathways, leading to the accumulation of toxic substances and further tissue damage.
- Necrosis can also lead to scarring and tissue remodeling, which can impair organ function.
Cell Injury and Cell Death
- Infectious pathogens can injure cells by producing toxins, leading to cell damage and disrupting metabolic pathways in organs.
- Fatty change in organs, such as the liver, can occur due to toxic injury, disrupting metabolic pathways and leading to rapid accumulation of triglycerides and lipid droplets.
- Eosinophilic degeneration of cells appears as red, eosinophilic, and degenerated cells with vacuolization in the cytoplasm.
Reversible Cell Injury
- Hypoxia (reduced oxygen supply) and ischemia (reduced blood supply) can cause reversible cell injury.
- Cell injury can lead to swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, causing damage to the plasma membrane.
- Reversible cell injury can be recovered from, and the cell can return to its normal state.
Cell Death
- There are two main forms of cell death: necrosis and apoptosis.
- Necrosis is a result of severe cell injury, causing cell death and disruption of the plasma membrane.
- Apoptosis is a regulated process of cell death, where the cell undergoes programmed cell death.
- Necrosis is often associated with inflammation, whereas apoptosis is not.
Necrosis
- Necrosis is a result of severe cell injury, causing cell death and disruption of the plasma membrane.
- The cell undergoes karyorrhexis, karyolysis, and enzymatic digestion, leading to leakage of cell contents.
- Necrosis is often associated with inflammation and is a pathologic process.
Apoptosis
- Apoptosis is a regulated process of cell death, where the cell undergoes programmed cell death.
- The cell undergoes fragmentation, and the nucleus breaks down into nucleosome-sized fragments.
- Apoptosis is often a physiologic process, but can be pathologic in certain cases.
Morphologic Changes
- Reversible cell injury can lead to surface blebs, increased eosinophilia, and swelling of cells.
- Irreversible cell injury (necrosis) can lead to loss of nuclei, fragmentation of cells, and leakage of cell contents.
- Fat necrosis can lead to the formation of calcium soap deposits in the mesentery.
Cell Injury and Death
- Cell injury can be reversible or irreversible, leading to cell death.
- Reversible cell injury can be corrected once the injurious agent is removed.
Causes of Cell Injury
- Diverse insults, such as chemical, physical, or biological agents, can cause cell injury or death.
- Insults can lead to disease, including necrosis, apoptosis, and other cell death mechanisms.
Types of Cell Death
- Necrosis: a type of cell death characterized by cellular swelling, rupture, and inflammatory response.
- Apoptosis: a type of programmed cell death, also known as "cell suicide," where the cell undergoes a controlled process of self-destruction.
Mechanisms of Cell Death
- Plasma membrane damage: leads to cell death due to the loss of cellular contents and uptake of extracellular substances.
- Lipid breakdown: can lead to fat necrosis, characterized by the formation of calcium soap deposits.
- Mitochondrial damage: can disrupt cellular energy production and lead to cell death.
- Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress: can lead to cell death through the activation of apoptotic pathways.
Cellular Responses to Injury
- Cellular stress responses: can activate various signaling pathways to respond to injury, including the unfolded protein response (UPR) and the heat shock response.
- Inflammation: a response to tissue injury, characterized by the activation of immune cells and the release of pro-inflammatory molecules.
Apoptotic Pathways
- The intrinsic (mitochondrial) pathway: involves the activation of pro-apoptotic proteins, such as BAX, to trigger apoptosis.
- The extrinsic (death receptor) pathway: involves the activation of death receptors, such as Fas, to trigger apoptosis.
Consequences of Cell Death
- Tissue damage: can lead to organ dysfunction and disease.
- Inflammation: can lead to tissue damage and disease.
- Immune responses: can lead to autoimmune disorders or immunodeficiency diseases.
Examples of Cell Death
- Fat necrosis: a type of cell death characterized by the formation of calcium soap deposits.
- Fibrinoid necrosis: a type of cell death characterized by the deposition of fibrin and protein in the affected tissue.
- Caseous necrosis: a type of cell death characterized by the formation of cheesy, granular material, often seen in tuberculosis.
