Cell and Tissue Injury
-
-
Trauma to cells takes place due to physical conditions such as temperature, pressure, radiation, mechanical abrasion, noise/vibration, or immunal injury.
-
-
Cellular Injury happens when the range of tolerance of a cell is exceeded. When the range is exceeded homeostatic and adaptational mechanisms fail.
Accumulation cells trying to handle excess substances by holding them in the nucleus or cytoplasm. The accumulation of elements and compounds of harmful substances in the tissues of living organisms

-
- the appearance of accumulation in cells depends on the cell type and the mechanism of injury
- all classes are based on microscopic views
- as cells try to handle the excess, metabolites may accumulate in phagocytes and cause swelling. Ex. liver --> hepatomegaly
-
Necrosis - occurs when the injury is too severe to prolonged to allow for adaptation and is usually a consequence of disrupted blood supply.
