|
Reversible Injury
|
1. Cellular swelling - unable to maintain ionic and fluid hemostasis
- Hydropic and vacuolar degeneration 2. Fatty Change - appearance of fat in cytoplasm - Hypoxic and toxic injuries. - Metabolic derangements - Mostly in cells w/fat metabolism |
|

|
Coagulative Necrosis
|
From Pknosis - most common

|
Liquefactive Necrosis
|
Goes to mush
- Autolysis or heterolysis - Leaves a defect w/leukocytes - Mostly focal bacterial infections - Hypoxic death of CNS |

|
Caseous Necrosis
|
Milk protein - looks like feta cz
- Tuberculosis - Pathoneumonic - Obliterates Tissue Architecture and outlines |
|
Fat Necrosis
|
Pancreas
- Abnormal release of activated pancreatic enzymes - Fats combine with calcium to produce chalky white areas |
|
Fibrinoid Necrosis
|
Immune-related with blood vessels
- Antigen antibodies combine with fibrin to form pink amorphous layer on blood vessel wall - Only nuclei present are from inflammatory cells |
|
Subcellular Responses to Injury
|
1. Autophagy
2. Induction of smooth ER 3. Mitochondrial Alterations 4. Cytoskeletal Abnormalities |
|
