Cell injury and death can occur through various mechanisms including hypoxia, physical or chemical insults, and microbial or immunological agents. The cellular response to injury depends on the cell type, extent, and type of injury. Initial responses include cellular adaptation, subcellular changes, or intracellular accumulations. Injury may result in reversible or irreversible cell damage and cell death. Irreversible injury is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and membrane damage, leading to necrosis or apoptosis. Different patterns of necrosis include coagulative, liquefactive, caseous, and gangrenous necrosis.

The study of the blood flow is called hemodynamics.
Thus hemodynamics deals with the dynamics of blood flow. The circulatory system is controlled by homeostatic mechanisms, much as hydraulic circuits and are controlled by control systems.
Hemodynamic response continuously monitors and adjusts to conditions in the body and its environment. Thus hemodynamics explains the physical laws that govern the flow of blood in the blood vessels.

2. Most forms of disease state begin with cell injury and consequently loss of cellular
function.
Cell injury is defined as- a variety of stresses a cell encounters as a result of
changes in its internal and external environment.
The cellular response to injury varies and depends upon
type of cell and tissue involved
Extent of injury
Type of injury
3. Cellular reponse to injury
1. Cellular Adaptation- the cell may adapt to the change and revert back to normal
after the stress removal
2. Sub Cellular changes- the residual effects may persist in the cell as evidence of
injury.
3. Intracellular accumulations- metabolites may accumulate within the cell.
4. Reversible cell injury- injury may recover
5. Irreversible cell injury- the cell dies.
6. Acquired Causes
Based on underlying agent:
Hypoxia and ischaemia
Physical agents
Chemical agents and drugs
Microbial agents
Immunologic agents
Nutritional derangement
Psychological factors
7. Hypoxia & Ischemia
Deficiency of oxygen or hypoxia results in failure to carry out cellular
activities.
Most common, causes of hypoxia are: reduced supply of blood to cells-
ischemia
Oxygen deprivation can result from other causes like anemia, carbon
monoxide poisoning,cardio respiratory insufficiency and increase in
demand of tissues
9. Chemical Agents
Chemical poisons: cyanide, arsenic, mercury.
Strong acid and alkalis
Insecticides and pesticides
High oxygen concentration
Hypertonic glucose and salt
Alcohol and narcotic drugs
Theraputic drugs
14. Irreversible Cell Injury
2 essential features:
Inability of the cell to reverse Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Disturbance in cell membrane function
In addition: depletion of proteins, leakage of lysosomal enzymes into cytoplasm,
reduced intracellular pH and further reduction in ATP.
15. Mitochondrial Damage/Dysfunction
Mitochondria – critical players in cell injury and cell death
Mitochondria can be damaged by
Cytosolic Calcium
ROS
Oxygen Deprivation ( Hypoxia, Toxins)
Two major consequences of mitochondrial damage
Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and pH
changes, resulting in failure of oxidative
phosphorylation and progressive depletion of ATP.
Leakage of cyt C and other proteins into cytosol and to
cell death by apoptosis
17. Q. first step inhibited due to hypoxic injury is:
a. Oxidative phosphorylation
b. Glycogenesis
c. Detachment of ribosomes from RER
d. Cell shrinkage
Ans. A The first point of attack of hypoxia id the cells aerobic respiration, i.e. oxidative
phosphorylation by mitochondria ATP production is decreased → Na-K Pump stops →
more Na inside → cell becomes hyperosmolar →water enters → swelling of cell → bleb
formation → along with this ribosomes also detach. This process is reversible if O2 is
supplied.
18. Membrane Damage
Consistent feature of most form of cell injury except apoptosis.
Mechanism:
Accelerated degradation of membrane phospholipids.
Cytoskeletal damage
Toxic oxygen radicals
Hydrolytic enzymes
Serum estimation of liberated intracellular enzymes
19. Restoration of blood flow to ishemic tissue can
promote recovery of cells if they are reversibly
unjured, but can also paradoxiucallt exacerbate the
injury and cause cell death. Called Ishcemia-
reperfusion injury
25. Normal Kidney tubules
Epithelial cells stain evenly pink
(eosinophilic) in cytoplasm, with
purple, basophilic, nucleic acids
confined to the nuclei
Apical surfaces are ciliated
Interstitia not infiltrated with immune
cells nor congested with proteins
26. Swollen kidney tubules
Increased eosinophilic staining
Decreased basophilic staining (RNA)
Plasma membrane rounding, blebbing, loss of
cilia, due to loss of connections with
cytoskeleton
Integrity of tubules degrading, but basement
membranes intact
Nuclei largely intact, slightly narrowed, pyknotic
28. Reversible damage –fatty change
Intracellular accumulations of a variety of materials can occur in response to cellular injury. Here
is fatty metamorphosis (fatty change) of the liver in which deranged lipoprotein transport from
injury (most often alcoholism) leads to accumulation of lipid in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes.
29. The characteristic feature of hypoxic irreversible injury is/are:
a. Vacuolization of mitochondria
b. Swelling of lysosomes
c. Calcium densities
d. All of the above
Ans: D
Cellular swelling and fatty change are example of:
a. Reversible injury
b. Irreversible injury
c. Cellular swelling is reversible but fatty change is`irreversible
d. None of the above
Ans: A Fatty change is an indicator of reversible cell injury, manifested by
appearance of small or large lipid vacuoles in cytoplasm and occurs with hypoxia.
Basically seen in cells involved in fat metabolism as in liver.
30. Free Radical Mediated Cell Injury
Ischaemic reperfusion injury
Radiolysis of water
Chemical toxicity
Hyperoxia (toxicity due to oxygen therapy)
Cellular aging
Killing of exogenous biologic agents
Inflammatory damage
Destruction of tumour cells
Chemical carcinogenesis
Atherosclerosis
31.
32. Generation of oxygen radicals begins within mitochondrial inner membrane.
When cytochrome oxidase catalyzes of oxygen (O2 ) to water (H2O)
Intermediates between O2 and H2O are:
Superoxide oxygen O’2 : 1 electrón
Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 : 2 electrones
Hydroxyl radical OH- : 3 electrons
33.
34.
35.
36. Morphology of Irreversible Cell
Injury
Cell death is a state of irreversible injury.
In living body it may occur as:
Local or focal change (autolysis, necrosis and apoptosis)
Necrosis-pathologic
Apoptosis-normal and pathologic
Autophagy-normal and pathologic
Changes that follow( gangrene and pathologic calcification)
End of life ( somatic death)
37. Autophagy/Self Digestion
Disintegration of the cell by its own hydrolytic enzymes liberated from lysosomes.
It is rapid in some tissues rich in hydrolytic enzymes such as pancreas and gastric
mucosa.
Morphologically , autolysis is identified by :
Homogeneous and eosinophilic cytoplasm
Loss of cellular details
Remains of cell as debris
38. Necrosis
Defined as- focal death along with
degradation of tissue by hydrolytic
enzymes liberated by cells,
accompanied by inflammation.
2 essential features:
Cell digestion by lytic enzymes
Denaturation of proteins
39. Digestion of cellular contents and the host response may take hours to develop. The earliest
histologic evidence of necrosis may not become apparent until 4 to 12 hours.
40. Cytoplasmic Changes:
Homogenous and intensely eosinophilic (H&E)
Occasionally: When enzymes have digested the cytoplasmic
organelles, the cytoplasm becomes vacuolated and appears moth-
eaten.
41. Nuclear Changes
Nuclear changes assume one of the 3 patterns, all due to the non-specific
breakdown of the DNA.
Pyknosis- condensation of nuclear chromatin
Karyolysis – undergo dissolution
Karyorrhexis- fragmentation into many clumps
43. Coagulative Necrosis
Most common type
Caused by
irreversible focal injury, mostly from sudden cessation of blood flow
(ischemia)and less often from bacterial and chemical agents
Organs affected are: heart, kidney and spleen.
44. Ischemic injury to cell
Architecture of dead tissue is preserved ( for few days)
Cell Death
Denaturation of proteins & enzymes
Firm Texture of tissue
Proteolysis of dead cells
dead cells are phagocytosed leaving granular debris and fragments of
cells
Necrosed focus is infiltrated by inflammatory cells
Eosinophilic anucleate cells
v
v
Microscopic changes are
the result of:
Denaturation of proteins
Enzymatic digestion of
the cell.
45. Gross Appearance
Foci of coagulative necrosis:
In early stages:
pale, firm and slightly swollen.
With progression:
become more yellowish,
softer, and shrunken.
Wedge shaped kidney infarct
(coagulative necrosis)
46. Microscopic Appearance:
Hallmark of coagulative necrosis:
conversion of normal cells into their
‘tombstones’ i.e. outlines of the cells
are retained so that the cell type can still
be recognised but their cytoplasm and
nuclear details are lost.
Necrosed cells are swollen and appear
more eosinophilic than normal
47. Microscopic view of the edge of the infarct ,with normal kidney (N)and necrotic cell in the infarct
(I) showing preserved cellular outlines with loss of nuclei and an inflammatory infiltrate which is
difficult to discern at this magnification
48. Coagulative Necrosis: Myocardial infarction
Here is myocardium in which the cells are dying as a result of ischemic injury from coronary
artery occlusion. This is early in the process of necrosis. The nuclei of the myocardial fibers are
being lost. The cytoplasm is losing its structure, because no well-defined cross-striations are
seen
49. It occurs commonly due to ischemic injury and bacterial or fungal infections.
It occurs due to degradation of tissue by the action of powerful hydrolytic enzymes.
Transformation of the tissue into a liquid viscous mass.
The necrotic material is frequently creamy yellow because of the presence of dead
leukocytes and is called pus.
Common e.g. Infarct brain and abscess cavity.
Liquefactive Necrosis
(Colliquative Necrosis)
50. Caseous Necrosis
Caseous (cheese like) is derived from the friable white appearance of the area of
necrosis.
It is a combined feature of coagulative and liquefactive necrosis.
Found in the center of foci of tuberculous infection.
51. Gross Appearance
Foci of caseous necrosis, as the
name implies, resemble dry cheese
and are soft, granular and
yellowish.
This appearance is partly attributed
to the histotoxic effects of
lipopolysaccharides present in
the capsule of the tubercle
bacilli, Mycobacterium
tuberculosis.
52. Microscopic Findings
The necrosed foci are structureless,
eosinophilic and contain granular debris.
The surrounding tissue shows
characteristic granulomatous
inflammatory reaction consisting of
epithelioid cells with interspersed giant
cells of langhan’s or foreign body type
and peripherally lymphocytes
53. Fat Necrosis
Not a specific pattern
These are:
Following pancreatic necrosis
Traumatic fat necrosis commonly in breast
Fat necrosis in either of the 2 instances results in hydrolysis of neutral fat present in
adipose cells due to release to activated lipase into glycerol and free fatty acids.
The damaged adipose cells assume cloudy appearance when only free fatty remain
behind , after glycerol leaks out.
The leaked out free fatty acids, complex with Ca to form Ca soaps (saponification)
54. Gross Appearance
Appears as yellowish-white and firm
deposits.
Ca soap imparts the necrosed foci firmer
and chalky white appearance
55. Microscopic Findings
Cloudy appearance of necrosed cell.
Surrounded by inflammatory reaction.
Formation of calcium soaps is identified
in the tissue sections as amorphous,
granular and basophilic material.
56. Fibrinoid Necrosis
It is characterized by the deposition of fibrin like material which has the
staining properties of fibrin.
Usually seen in immune reactions involving blood vessels.
Example: Autoimmune diseases, arthus reaction arterioles in hypertension,
peptic ulcer etc.
57. Microscopic Findings
Identified by brightly eosinophilic,
hyaline-like deposition in the vessel
wall or on the luminal surface of a peptic
ulcer.
Local haemorrhages may occur due to
rupture of these blood vessels.
58. Gangrenous Necrosis
Not a specific pattern.
Term is commonly used in clinical
practice.
Usually applied to a limb, generally the
lower leg, that has lost its blood supply
and has undergone, typically, coagulative
necrosis
59. Gangrene
Potentially life-threatening condition
caused by a critically insufficient blood supply(necrosis) to tissue.
This may occur after an injury or infection, or in people suffering from any
chronic health problem affecting blood circulation.
Risk factors: Diabetes and long-term smoking
60. 3 Types
Dry
Wet
Gas
In either type of gangrene, coagulation necrosis undergo liquefaction by the
action of putrefactive bacteria.
61. Dry Gangrene
Form of coagulative necrosis.
develops in ischemic tissue.
Etiopathogenesis:
Causes
• Peripheral artery disease (c/m)
• Acute limb ischemia
Limit oxygen
in ishchemic
limb
• Bacteria fails to survive
• Limits putrefaction
Dry
Gangrene
• Affected part is dry, shrunken and dark reddish black.
• Line of separation present
62. Wet Gangrene
Characterized by thriving bacteria.
Poor prognosis (compared to dry gangrene) due to septicemia resulting from the
free communication between infected fluid and circulatory fluid.
The tissue is infected by saprogenic microorganisms eg.Clostridium perfringens or
Bacillus fusiformis , which cause tissue to swell and emit a fetid smell.
The affected part is edematous,soft, putrid, rotten and dark
Blockage of
venous(mainly)
&/or arterial
blood
Stagnation of
blood
Rapid growth of
bacteria
Toxin production
Septicemia &
cell death
63. Gas Gangrene
Bacterial infection that produces gas within tissues.
Caused by Clostridium, most commonly alpha toxin (exotoxin)producing
Clostridium perfringens, or various non-clostridial species.
These environmental bacteria may enter the muscle through a wound and subsequently
proliferate in necrotic tissue and secrete powerful toxins.
Infection spreads rapidly as the gases produced by bacteria expand and infiltrate
healthy tissue in the vicinity.
Because of its ability to quickly spread to surrounding tissues, gas gangrene
should be treated as a medical emergency.

70. Apoptosis
Apoptosis in Greek meaning ‘falling off’ or‘dropping off’.
Defined as:
coordinated and internally programmed cell death
Pathway of cell death which is induced by a tightly regulated suicide program in
which cell destined to die activate intrinsic enzymes that degrade the cells own
nuclear DNA and nuclear and cytoplasmic protein.
71. Cellular changes

74. Molecular Mechanism of Apoptosis
Result from activation of enzyme called caspases (cysteine-aspartic-acid-
proteases)
Two Phases:
1. Initiation phase: activation of caspases
2. Execution phase: degradation of cellular component by caspases.
Two pathways on caspase activation:
The Intrinsic Pathway (Mitochondrial)
The Extrinsic Pathway ( Death receptor initiated)
75. Initiators of apoptosis
1. Absence of stimuli e.g. Hormone, growth factors, cytokines.
2. Activators of programmed cell death. E.g.TNF receptors.
3. Intracellular stimuli e.g. Heat, radiation, hypoxia
Regulators of apoptosis
Anti-apoptotic: BCL 2, BCL-XL and MCL1
Pro-apoptotic: BAX & BAK
Sensors: BAD, BIM, BID, Puma & Noxa
76. Intrinsic -Mitochondrial pathway
• Synthesis of anti-
apoptotic molecules

BH3 Also bind to and block the function of
antiapoptotic protein
The synthesis of Antiapoptotic protein is
declined due to def of survival signals
• Bcl-2 is over expressed in most follicular B-cell
lymphomas – allowing abnormal cells to
proliferate.
77. Essence of intrinsic
(mitochondrial) pathway
Pro-apoptotic and protective molecules that regulate mitochondrial permeability
and the release of death molecules sequestered in the mitochondria are
maintained in balance normally.
Imbalance initiates the death pathway.
78. Extrinsic pathway
(Death Receptor Initiated)
Death receptors are members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family and a
related protein called Fas (CD95).
These molecules contain a death domain.

Ans:A
86. Necrosis or Apoptosis ?
Ans: Necrosis
Lots of leukocytes
Does apoptosis involve an
inflammatory response?
Clinically imp because it contributes to tissue damage during myocardial and cerebral infarction following therapy to restore blood
Cellular swelling (synonyms: hydropic change, vacuolar degeneration, cellular edema) is an acute reversible change resulting as a response to nonlethal injuries. It is an intracytoplasmic accumulation of water due to incapacity of the cells to maintain the ionic and fluid homeostasis. It is easy to be observed in parenchymal organs : liver (hepatitis, hypoxia), kidney (shock), myocardium (hypoxia, phosphate intoxication). It may be local or diffuse, affecting the whole organ.
Necrotic cells are unable to maintain membrane integrity and their contents often leak out, a process that may elicit inflammation in the surrounding tissue.
The enzymes that digest the necrotic cell are derived from the lysosomes of the dying cells themselves and from the lysosomes of leukocytes that are called in as part of the inflammatory reaction.
(attributable in part to the loss of cytoplasmic RNA (which binds the blue dye, haematoxylin) and in part to denatured cytoplasmic proteins (which bind the red dye, eosin).
Architecture of dead tissues is preserved for a span of at least some days.
Tissues exhibit a firm texture
Injury denatures proteins and enzymes blocking proteolysis of the dead cells;
Eosinophilic, anucleatecells may persist for days or weeks.
Ultimately the necrotic cells are removed by phagocytosis of the cellular debris by infiltrating leukocytes.
CoagulativeNecrosis
Microscopically, the renal cortex has undergone anoxic injury at the left so that the cells appear pale and ghost-like. There is a hemorrhagic zone in the middle where the cells are dying or have not quite died, and then normal renal parenchyma at the far right.
The line of separation usually brings about complete separation, with eventual falling off of the gangrenous tissue if it is not removed surgically, a process
Wet gangrene usually develops rapidly due to blockage of venous (mainly) and/or arterial blood flow
The affected part is saturated with stagnant blood, which promotes the rapid growth of bacteria.
The toxic products formed by bacteria are absorbed, causing systemic manifestationof septicemia and finally death.
In human body about 1 lakh cells are produced every second by mitosis and almost similar number die by apoptosis
Because it is genetically regulated therefore referred as programmed cell death
In physiological situation death by apoptosis is a normal phenomenon serves to eliminate cells that are no longer needed and to maintain a steady number of various cell population in tissue.
Hormone dependent involution after withdrawal of hormones: Prostate glandular epithelium after castration, Regression of lactating breast after weaning and endometrial shedding
•neutrophils in acute inflammation and lymphocytes after immune response becoz they are deprived of necessary survival signals like growth factors
Improperly folded protein is due to mutation in gene encoding these proteins or extrinsic factors such as damaged caused by ROS. extensive accumulation of these protein caused ER stress leads to apoptosis.
Pathologic atrophy of organ and tissues on withdrawal of stimuli eg. Atrophy of kidney or salivary gland on obstruction of ureter or ducts respectively.
Caspases so named as they are cysteine proteases that cleaves proteins after aspartic residues..
• Synthesized as inactive precursors; activated by proteolytic cleavage.
• Family of at least 12 proteases, a few of which are involved in inflammation, and many of which are involved in apoptosis
The presence of activated cleaved active caspases is a marker of apoptosis.
Anti apoptotic protein resides in outer mitochondrial membranes as well as the cytosol and ER membrane. By keeping the mitochondrial outer membrane impermeable that prevent leakge of cyt c and other death inducing proteins
Pro apoptotic proteins promote mitochondrial outer membrane permeability by forming channels in outer mito membrane
Sensors contains only one BH domain third of four, therefore also known as BH3 only proteuns. It sense the cellular stress and damage and regulate the balance between the pro and anti apoptotic proteins.
.APAF-apoptosis activating factor 1
Apoptosome is a wheel like hexamer.
RIP1 & RIP 3 reduces mito oxidation which leads to reduced ATP , causes ROS production and permeabilize lysosomal membrane thereby causing cellular swelling, membrane damage and necrosis.
RIP(Receptor associated kinase )
