Match the following cellular injury hallmarks with their descriptions:

Reversible injury = Cellular swelling and loss of microvilli Irreversible injury = Membrane damage and cytosolic enzyme leakage Coagulative necrosis = Necrotic tissue that remains firm with preserved cell shape Liquefactive necrosis = Necrotic tissue that becomes liquefied due to enzymatic lysis Signup and view all the answers

Match the following types of necrosis with their characteristics:

Coagulative necrosis = Characteristic of ischemic infarction of any organ except the brain Liquefactive necrosis = Characteristic of brain infarction and abscesses Gangrenous necrosis = Resembles mummified tissue and occurs in lower limb and GI tract Caseous necrosis = Soft and friable tissue with 'cottage cheese-like' appearance Signup and view all the answers

Match the following processes with their effects on cellular functions:

Low ATP = Disrupts Na+-K+ pump and results in sodium and water buildup Aerobic glycolysis disruption = Switch to anaerobic glycolysis and lactic acid buildup Plasma membrane damage = Results in cytosolic enzyme leakage and additional calcium entry Mitochondrial membrane damage = Results in loss of electron transport chain and cytochrome c leakage Signup and view all the answers

Match the following growth adaptations with their descriptions:

Hypertrophy = Increase in cell size and organ size Hyperplasia = Increase in cell number and organ size Metaplasia = Replacement of one differentiated cell type with another Dysplasia = Disordered growth and loss of cellular uniformity Signup and view all the answers

Match the following types of cell death with their characteristics:

Necrosis = Death of large groups of cells followed by acute inflammation Apoptosis = Programmed cell death with nuclear condensation and fragmentation Pyknosis = Nuclear condensation as a morphologic hallmark of cell death Karyolysis = Dissolution of the nucleus as a morphologic hallmark of cell death Signup and view all the answers

Low ATP disrupts key cellular functions including Na+ -K+ pump, resulting in sodium and water buildup in the cell
