Cell Theory
“Social Medicine”
Cell Injury – General Considerations
Numerous causes
 Biochemical events precede structural
 Duration and intensity of exposure important
(direct dose/response relationship)
 Injury may be TISSUE (or cell) specific
 Injury depends of ability of cells to respond,
resist, and repair injury

Cell Injury – Causes
Hypoxia / Ischemia
 Physical (mechanical, heat, radiation)
 Chemical
 Biologic Agents
 Immunologic (host) reaction
 Genetic derangement
 Nutritional imbalance, deficiency

Cellular Degeneration
Sublethal, usually reversible forms of
cellular injury unassociated with severe
cellular dysfunction.
Oxidative Stress and Cell Injury
Necrosis (or “Oncosis”)
VS
Apoptosis
Types of Necrosis
Coagulation
 Liquefactive
 Caseous
 “Fat” necrosis

Liquefactive Necrosis
Caseous Necrosis
“Fat” Necrosis
