Cellular injury
1 of 3 factors of response You MAY be able to com back from this, but at some point of stress, cell will no longer return to normal
Cellular Death
1 of 3 factor of response
Atrophy
Cellular adaptation in response to stress, cells DECREASE in size or DECREASE in cell number decsrease functioning of enzymes, less oxygen consumption, decrease in organelles
Hypertrophy
ONLY increase in cell size increase amount of functioning tissue mass usually result of increase in workload increase in functioning components of cells, so increase in number of organelles, enzymes, and functioning tissue pathological situation: cardiomegally Physiological: donated kidney, breast tissue, endometrium
Hyperplasia
increase in NUMBER OF CELLS it is a very controlled response, when stimulus is removed, should be removed uncontrolled leads to CA pregnancy: breast tissue hyperplasia and uterine hyperplasia
Metaplasia
due to chronic irritant change from one cell type to another stay within cell line, ex epithelial cell to another epithelial cell ex: lung tissue and esophagus tissue lung epithelial cells ciliated columnar cells turn to squamous cells in smoking GERD causes esophageal cells change into cells that we see in the stomach
Dysplasia
Are reversible Cell types are changed, but derangement in cell growth so different cell sizes and shapes and appearance found in metaplastic squamous epithelium of the respiratory tract and uterine lining
Stress
Mechanical forces electrical injuries nutritional imbalances biological agents poisons
Hypoxia
ischemia causes irreversible cell damage Check out the chart in ppt
Extremes of Temperature
Heat Cold
Heat
accelerate cellular metabolism activate and inactivate temp sensitive emzymes cellular membranes disrupted to temp changes coag of blood vessels coag of tissue proteins causes DIRECT cellular injury
Cold
increase in blood viscosity ice crystal formation induces vasoconstriction …
Chemical Agents
EX: Lead poisoning, HIGH: mental retardation, convulsions, coma LOW levels: reduced IQ and attn span, behavioral efects, crosses the BBB AND damages BBB
Effects of Lead - Phsiology
Causes ROS, decrease in antioxidant systems glomerular fibrosis and proximal tubule mitochondrial damage crosses and damages BBB lead looks like calcium, and enters transportors and changes the channels and cells as a result
.
depletion of ATP in cell free-radical formation disruption of intracellular calcium hpmeostasis
Depletion of ATP
decrease in oxygenation of the cell Na/K pump will fail, and we get membrane depolatization and increase in intracellular Ca and Na –> cellular swelling 2/2 Na influx and water flux that goes with it –> maybe lysing switch to anaerobic metabolism –> increae in lactic acid –> decrease in cellular pH –> lysing of lysosomes (which are full of degratory enzymes, and get released due to decrease in pH and these enzymes ARE unregulated so cause damage)
Lysosomal destruction
Enzymes released, so IRREVERSIBLE damage
ischemia reperfusion injury
EX: crushing injuries, stroke, MI which causes decrease in blood flow to an area so that we can keep blood flow to keep cells alive kidneys usually tested in the tissues because only 1 artery to worry about inflammatory response damages tissue
Free radical injury
Essential to the physiology of our body, seen in our body due to metabolism and inflammatory response is due to CONTROLLED free radical response When uncolntrolled, can cause a lot of damage to our bodies Caused by: due to UV light, polution, excessive sugar production, lead, anything can become a free radical 3 major effects: 1) Lipid peroxidation 2) oxidative modification of our proteins 3) DNA effects unpaired electron will search for extra electron will chase things that are essentially immobile and can easily take an electron
ROS and effects on MI
.
Cell Death
When we get to irreversible place of cell injury we get apoptosis and necrosis
Necrosis
UNPROMGRAMMED cell death When cell needs to die, this is one of two pathways Blebs occur here too, but cell leaks its contents thru lysis and immune response started by cells around which are effected by the lysis of their sister cell
Apoptosis
DOES NOT illicit immune response you get blebs which are outpockets (like a star fish) then broken up into small pieces and eaten by macrophages thru phagocytosis CELL NEVER LYSES
Pathways of apoptosis
1) intrinsic pathway- ex: stress and viruses, if DNA too damaged beyond repair, etc 2)extrinsic pathway- ex: too many cells in the tissue , like webbed feet! ALL pathways are propagated thru degratory enzymes called CASPASES and ONLY involved in apoptosis response
