Cell Injury Flashcards
What happens when you alter or change a cell?
Injury, Adaption, Aging, Neoplasia (Cancers) or Death
What are the general mechanisms (stimuli) of injury to a cell?
Deficit injury, Toxins, Infection, Physical Injury
What type of injury will a cell incur if there is a deficit of the following: Carbs
Hypoglycemia (needed for energy production)
What type of injury will a cell incur if there is a deficit of the following: Protein
Protein Calorie Malnutrition
What type of injury will a cell incur if there is a deficit of the following: Vitamins
cofactors for metabolism
What type of injury will a cell incur if there is a deficit of the following: Minerals
Structural issues to cell
Hypoglycemia in a cell causes
Decrease in ATP (energy) production, neurons stop firing - effect the heart
Vitamin A helps maintain what receptors?
Retina Receptors
Vitamin A helps to develop what types of cells?
RBC, WBC and bone density
Deficiency in Vitamin A can lead to:
Blindness, dry cornea, impaired immune function, cancer and birth defects
Fats are important to build what for a cell?
Structure like the cell membrane
Protein builds what on the cell
The exoskeleton
What would excessive accumulation of fat INSIDE the cytoplasm if neurons cause to conduction?
It slows down communication
In hydropic degeneration (cell inflitration) what happens when there is injury to a cell?
Sodium and water move into the cell, cytoplasm swells
Starvation causes a fatty?
Liver
