Mechanisms of Cell Injury Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• gangrenous : generally refers to a limb which has lost its blood supply and been attacked by bacteris.
• hypoxia : if this condition continues, other alterations take place such as increased membrane permeability and diminished mitochondrial function.
• caseous : seen in foci of tuberculosis infection gross appearence is "cheesy and white".
• karyorrhexis : fragmentation of the pyknotic nucleus.
• acidosis : reduces the intercellular ph.
• karyolysis : fading of the basophilia of the chromatin because of the activation of the dna-ases as the ph of the cell decreases.
• cytolytic : viruses which cause various degrees of cell injury and cell death.
• apoptosis : genetically determined process of intercellular destruction, "cell suicide".
• calcium : mitichondria avidly takes this up after reoxygenation and permanently poisons cells and inhibits cellular enzymes.
• dry gangrene : when a coagulative pattern predominates, it is referred to as?
• wet gangrene : if liquefaction occurs it is called?
• glycolysis : results in the accumulation of lactic acid and inorganic phosphates.
• necrosis _ : denaturation of proteins and enzymatic digestion of the cell.
• cytopathic : involves the induction of immunological response against viral or virus altered cell antigens and the destruction of the cell by either antibody or cell mediated reactions.
• vacuolization : extensive damage to plasma membrane, swelling of lysosomes.
• reversible injury : cell swelling, cytoplasmic blebs, intercellular attachments deteriorate and loosen.
• oncogenic : viruses which stimulate host cell replication and may produce tumors.
• pyknosis : dna condenses into a solid, shrunken basophilic membrane.
• liquefactive : due to the focal bacterial infections, as the bacteria stimulate the accumulation of wbc. hypoxic death of cells within the cns results in this.
• free radicals : once formed, may spontaneously decay and be utilized by phagocytic cells to kill ingested microbes.
• coagulative : intercellular acidosis, cell outline is preserved for a few days, the contents of the cell become this.
