The document discusses cell injury and its mechanisms. It describes how cells can become injured through various stressors like hypoxia, physical/chemical agents, infections, etc. This causes damage to key cellular components like membranes, respiration, and DNA. The injury can be reversible through mild changes like hydropic swelling, or progress to irreversible necrosis or apoptosis if the cell cannot adapt. Free radicals are also discussed as a mediator of injury through lipid peroxidation, protein/DNA oxidation, and cytoskeletal damage. Examples of reversible changes include hydropic swelling seen as cloudy vacuoles, while irreversible injury leads to cell death.
