Cell Flashcards
What are the major causes of hypoxia?
Ischemia
Cardiopulmonary failure
Decreased O2-carrying capacity of blood
What is the most common type of metaplasia?
Columnar to squamous
A lysosomal disease caused by mutations affecting enzyme involved in cholesterol trafficking leading to cholesterol accumulation in multiple organs
Niemann-Pick disease, Type C
It is the wear and tear pigment, seen in aging and malnutrition
Lipofuscin
What is the most common cause of cell injury?
Hypoxia
- failure of cell to synthesize ATP by aerobic respiration
Accumulation of this pigment causes anthracosis in the lungs and involved lymph nodes or coal worker’s pneumocosis
Carbon
Inborn errors of metabolism:
Gaucher’s disease -
Glucocerebrosidase
Inborn errors of metabolism:
Tay-Sach’s disease-
Hexosaminidase A
Inborn errors of metabolism:
Niemann-Pick’s disease -
Sphingomyelinase
