1
Q

what (in general) decreases (2) and increases (1) in mitochondria exposed to hypoxia?

A

decrease: Oxygen, ATP
increase: protons (becomes more acidic due to lactate buildup)

2
Q

what are the effects of decreased ATP in hypoxic/ischemic condiitions? how? (2)

A

Sodium accumulates in the cell and water follows (cell swells). Na/K ATPase quits (increases Na) and the Na/H pump increases to remove protons which increases the amount of Na in the cell further.

3
Q

what is hydropic change

A

the phenomenon that results from decreased ATP in cells (hypoxia) and an increased influx of water and Na that causes the cell to swell

4
Q

what follows hydropic change in ischemic cells?

A

Ca induced injury

5
Q

what effect does increased intracellular Ca have on ischemic cells

A

activates phospholipases, proteases, endonucleases that degrade cell components and cause apoptosis/necrosis
