Inflammation and repair 9/1 Flashcards
(16 cards)
degeneration
reversible cell response to injury (cell swelling and fatty degeneration)
what causes the cellular swelling in degeneration
serum and protein in the interstitium
Proteinaceous interstitium is an indicator of
degeneration
Fatty degeneration refers to
deposition of fat globules in cells
steatosis is an example of
fatty degeneration
atrophy is
decrease in size of a body part, cell, organ, or other tissue
atrophy of a cell is driven by _____ metabolism
catabolic
symmetric atrophy indicates:
old age +/ reduced blood supply
asymmetric atrophy indicates
decreased workload, nurtritional deficiencies, neuro endocrine disfunction, chronic low level injury (ie radiation, chemical toxins)
Cachexia is:
the symmetric atrophy of the entire body.
Cachexia can be caused by:
tumors, AIDS, or TB
Cachexia appears:
gaunt/ skeletal
Apoptosis is
programmed cell death
Necrosis is caused by:
irreversible cell and tissue injuries
necrosis cellular process
cell membrane damage, swelling, denaturation, and coagulation of intracellular proteins
coagulation necrosis Vs liquefaction necrosis
coag: is in tissue with normal protein content
liquefaction: is in tissue poor in protein, ie brain and fat tissue
