|
Metaplasia is thought to develop from a reprogramming of.........................
|
stem cells existing in most epithelia or of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells in connective tissue.
|
|
Most diseases begin with _______ injury.
|
Cell
|
|
Injured cells may.........................
|
recover (reversible injury) or die (irreversible injury).
|
|
Cellular injury can be caused by:
|
Hypoxia
Free radicals Caustic/toxic chemicals infectious agents unintentional/intentional injury inflammatory/immune responses genetic factors insufficient nutrients physical trauma |
|
Cellular injury can be __________ or _________ and it can be _______________ or _____________.
|
Acute/Chronic
reversible/irreversible |
|
Cellular injury can involve:
|
necrosis
apoptosis accumulation calcification |
|
Name the 4 biochemical themes that are important to cell injury
|
1.) ATP depletion
2.) oxygen and oxygen-derived free radicals. 3.) intracellular calcium and loss of calcium steady state 4.) defects in membrane permeability. |
|
The sequence of events that commonly leads to cell death is:
|
-Decreased ATP production >
-Failure of transport mechanisms (the sodium/potassium pump) > -Cellular swelling > -Detachment of ribosomes from the ER > -Cessation of CHON synthesis > -Mitochondrial swelling as a result of Ca+ accumulation > -Vacuolation > -Leakage of digestive enzymes from lysosomes > -Autodigestion of intracellular structures > -Lysis of plasma membrane > -DEATH |
|
Free radicals can cause
|
1.) Lipid peroxidation or the
destruction of unsaturated fatty acids 2.) alterations of CHON's 3.) Alterations in DNA |
