Study Notes
Cell Injury and Death
- Infectious pathogens injure cells by producing toxins that alter cellular metabolism and damage cells in organs involved in metabolism (e.g., liver, heart).
- Fatty change in organs occurs when active involvement of fatty acid metabolism disrupts metabolic pathways, leading to rapid accumulation of triglycerides and formation of lipid vacuoles.
Reversible Cell Injury
- Reversible cell injury occurs when cells can recover from injury without permanent damage.
- Characteristics of reversible cell injury include:
- Swelling of endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria
- Breakdown of plasma membrane and organelles
- Leakage of contents from cells
- Reversible cell injury can progress to necrosis or apoptosis if not resolved.
Necrosis
- Necrosis is a form of cell death characterized by cell swelling, rupture of plasma membrane, and leakage of cellular contents.
- Necrosis can occur due to:
- Ischemia (reduced blood supply)
- Hypoxia (reduced oxygen supply)
- Infection
- Necrotic cells can release toxic signals that stimulate inflammation.
Apoptosis
- Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death characterized by:
- Cell shrinkage
- Chromatin condensation
- Formation of apoptotic bodies
- Phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and fragments
- Apoptosis can occur due to:
- DNA damage
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Apoptosis is a normal process that occurs during development and tissue remodeling.
Myelin Figures
- Myelin figures are collections of phospholipids in concentric layers released from damaged plasma membranes.
- They can be seen in cells undergoing necrosis.
Cell Death
- Cell death can occur through:
- Necrosis
- Apoptosis
- Autophagy (cell self-digestion)
- Cell death can be triggered by:
- DNA damage
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Oxidative stress
Fatty Necrosis
- Fatty necrosis occurs when there is a release of activated pancreatic lipases into the tissue, leading to breakdown of fatty acids and formation of lipid vacuoles.
- Fatty necrosis can occur in organs such as the pancreas.
Liquefactive Necrosis
- Liquefactive necrosis occurs when there is a dissolution of tissue, leading to a soft, liquefied consistency.
- Liquefactive necrosis can occur in organs such as the brain.
