17
Q

The first manifestation of almost all forms of injury to cells ; changes is due to influx of ions ( and consequently, water) due to failure of energy-dependent ion pumps ( Na,K, ATPase)

A

Cellular Swelling

18
Q

Appearance of lipid vacuoles in the cytoplasm, often seen in cells participating in fat metabolism (liver, heart)

A

Steatosis

19
Q

Type of cell death that results from a pathologic cell injury.

A

Necrosis

20
Q

Type of cell death that is energy dependent , tightly regulated and associated with normal cellular functions; programmed cell death”.

A

Apoptosis

21
Q

Components cells are dead but the basic tissue architecture is preserved ( acidophilic tombstone) often seen in ischemic injury to most solid organs( heart, spleen, kidney) except the brain.

A

Coagulative necrosis

22
Q

Digestion of dead cells resulting in transformation of the tissue into a viscous liquid mass; often seen in infections (pus) and in hypoxic death of cells within CNS.

A

Liquefactive necrosis

23
Q

The term reserved for ischemic coagulative necrosis of the limbs (dry) , may have superimposed bacterial infection with liquefactive necrosis (wet).

A

Gangrenous necrosis

24
Q

Cheese-like gross appearance of necrotic areas; often seen in tuberculous infections; tissue architecture is not preserved.

A

Caseous necrosis

25
Q

Focal areas of fat destruction typically seen in acute pancreatitis , foci of necrosis contain shadowy outlines of necrotic fat cells with basophilic calcium deposists ( saponification) surrounded by an inflammatory reaction.

A

Enzymatic fat necrosis

26
Q

Inactivation of anti-apoptotic BCL2 protein that leads to activation of BAX/ BAK channel, allowing cytochrome C to leak out of the mitochondria , activating apoptosis.

A

Intrinsic (mitochondrial) pathway

27
Q

Seen in immune reactions , involving blood vessels , deposits of immune complexes together with fibrin that have leaked out of vessels result in bright pink and amorphous appearance.

A

Fibrinoid necrosis

28
Q

Calcium deposits occurring in dead tissues in the absence of calcium metabolic derangements eg. Psamomma bodies in cancers with papillary architecture and meningioma.

A

Dystrophic calcification

29
Q

Calcium deposition in normal tissues occurring in the setting of hypercalcemia eg. Calcinosis.

A

Metastatic calcification

30
Q

Among the following, which is not an electron microscope finding of reversible cell injury?
a. Plasma membrane blebs
b. Myelin figures
c. Dilation of endoplasmic reticulum
d. Karyolysis

A

Karyolysis

31
Q

Nuclear shrinkage

A

Pyknosis

32
Q

Nuclear fragmentation

A

Karyorrhexis

33
Q

Dissolution of nucleus.

A

Karyolysis

34
Q

73 Male with ischemic stroke. What is the expected pattern of necrosis?

A

Liquefactive

35
Q

Patient with malignancy in the para-aortic nodes was given chemotherapeutic agents which cause marked regression in the size of the lesions.

A

Apoptosis

36
Q

Which conditions shows scattered loss of individual cells with karyorrhexis and cell fragmentation but with intact tissue structure.

A

Apoptosis

37
Q

Elderly male complaining of difficulty in urination with DRE findings of prostate gland twice its normal size wherein TURP is done and microscopy revealed nodules of glands with intervening stroma.

A

Hyperplasia

38
Q

Biopsy showed hyperemic mucosa which showed columnar epithelium with goblet cells in the esophagus. What cell change describes this finding?

A

Metaplasia

39
Q

Cell alteration that explains the decrease in the size of calf muscles after 6 weeks of immobilization?

A

Atrophy

40
Q

Examples of Metabolic alkalosis? (3)

A

Hyperaldosteronism
Vomiting
Thiazide & Loop Diuretics use

41
Q

Respiratory Alkalosis examples? (5)

A
