Q

Why is there cellular swelling in sublethal injury to a cell?

A

Q

Why is there accumulation of cytoplasmic material in sublethal injury?

A

W/ increase of water within the cytoplasm organelles start to swell as well
Ribosomes are lost (they pop of the ER)
Lipid and other metabolic products build up because they are no longer able to be processed

Q

What are the general characteristics of apoptosis?

A

Cell suicide
Cell death via internally programmed series of events
Clean

30
Q

What are the general characteristics of necrosis?

A

Cell murder
Cell death via exogenous irreversible cell injury
Messy

31
Q

What are the two major morphologic features seen in the chromosome during cell death?

A

Pyknosis + Karyorrhexis

32
Q

What is pyknosis?

A

Irreversible condensation of chromatic in nucleus of a cell

33
Q

What is karyorrhexis?

A

Fragmentation of nucleus

34
Q

What are the two types of initiation for apoptosis?

A

Extrinsic + Intrinsic

35
Q

How is extrinsic initiation carried out with apoptosis?

A

Cytokines - fas ligands or TNF-alpha)

Activate cell surface death receptors

36
Q

How is intrinsic initiation of apoptosis carried out within the cell?

A

Mitochondrial or DNA damage activate proapototic factors p21 + p53

37
Q

What are four major events that occur with apoptosis overall?

A

Caspases activated
Cytoskeleton + Nuclear proteins degraded
Nuclear chromatin fragments
Apoptotic bodies

38
Q

What are apoptotic bodies? What do they do?

A

Contain intracellular organelles

Form and present ligands for phagocytic cells to bind to

39
Q

What is commonly seen histologically with APOPTOSIS?

A

Cell shrinkage
Chromatin condensation
Cytoplasmic blebs + Apoptotic bodies
Phagocytosis of apoptotic bodies

40
Q

What are the key morphologic features of necrosis?

A 
Increased eosinophilia 
Glassy appearance 
Cytoplasmic vacuolation 
Karyohexis moves to Karyolysis 
Ghost cells
41
Q

Why do you see increased eosinophila with necrosis?

A

RNA degradation

42
Q

Why do you see a glassy appearance in cells with necrosis?

A

Loos of glycogen

43
Q

What causes cytoplasmic vacuolation with necrosis?

A

Cells start to fill with debris as membranes break down and enzymes are released

44
Q

What are ghost cells?

A

Pale eosinophilic outlines of residual cell cytoplasm

45
Q

What are the general steps of necrosis leading to acute inflammation?

A

Uncontrolled released of antigens
Activation of immune system
INFLAMMATION

46
Q

What often follows necrosis/acute inflammation?

A

Calcification

47
Q

What cells are triggered when necrotic cell changes occur?

A

What do leukocytes do once they have reached the area of necrosis?

A

Release enzymes from lysosomes

Causing heterolysis –> dissolves the cell

49
Q

What do nuclei look like that have become pyknotic?

Brain

58

Cheesy coagulation

Usually a granulomatous reaction

59
Q

What is the basic description of Fat necrosis?

A

Saponified fat due to FA’s mixing with calcium - chalky white appearance

60
Q

What is gangrenous necrosis?

A

Necrosis due to ischemia of the distal extremities and GI tract

61
Q

What type of necrosis is renal papillary necrosis?

A

Coagulative necrosis

62
Q

What causes renal papillary necrosis?

A

Ischemia following NSAID use

63
Q

How do NSAIDS cause renal papillary necrosis?

A

Local prostaglandin synthesis normally protects glomeruli and tubules from ischemia
Inhibition from NSAID’s predisposes the kidneys to renal hypoprefusion

64
Q

What are the two components of prostaglandin synthesis that are inhibited by NSAID use?

A

COX-1 + COX-2

65
Q

What is different about the macrophages within the brain that are active in the necrosis process?

A

White matter contains abundant lipids therefor the phagocytic macrophages have a vacuolated appearance to them

66
Q

What disease can cause casaeous necrosis with in the lungs?

A

Tuberculosis

67
Q

What is caseous necrosis a combination of?

A

Coagulative + Liquefactive

68
Q

What are some histological characteristics of necrotic fat cells?

A

Have vague cellular outlines
Lost peripheral nuclei
Cytoplasm has become pink to pale basophilic

69
Q

What is wet gangrene?

A

Combination of coagulative necrosis + liquefactive necrosis

70
Q

What causes the coagulative necrosis in wet gangrene?

A

Loss of blood supply

71
Q

What cause the liquefactive necrosis in wet gangrene?

A

Superimposed infection

72
Q

What are the two most basic types of cell injury?

A

Reversible + Irreversible
