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.
