coagulation necrosis
tissue hypoxia --> causes coagulation necrosis (infarction). it's caused by a buildup of lactic acid in a cell
when lack ATP, all ATPase pumps are screwed up because
they run on ATP. so Na goes into cell and causes swollen cells.
what drug blocks NaK pump?
digitalis. so that Na goes into cardiac muscle to open Ca to increase force of contraction
tissue hypoxia will cause tissue to swell up because
Na goes into cell (irriversible)
mature RBC energy source is
anaerobic glycolysis
what happens to Ca in tissue hypoxia?
it enters cells via CaATPase pump. ATPase decreases, so Ca has easy access to cell. When it's in the cell, it activates phospholipases (damages cell membrane) and causes nuclear chromatin disappearance.
