hardened by deposits of calcium salts,this
process is called calcification.

Cell death,
Cells can be recognized as dead with
metabolism stopped,morphologic
pattern changed,function disappeared.
Cell death may be two types:
necrosis and apoptosis

Necrosis is the death of
cells or tissues which are
still part of the living
organism.

release of triglycerides following trauma elicits a rapid inflammatory response.

lipase liberated from damaged acini act on fat cells in the peritoneal cavity thus:
lipases Ca+
triglycerides fatty acids insoluble soaps

Ⅲ,Fibrinoid necrosis:
This occurs in malignant hypertension,where increased
arterial pressure results in necrosis of the smooth muscle wall.
This allows seepage of plasma into the media with consequent deposition
of fibrin.
The appearance is termed fibrinoid necrosis,

Ⅳ, Gangrene:
necrosis + secondary infection
as a result of action of certain
bacteria,notably clostridia.

cell death for the deletion of

is also known as
?programmed cell death?.

department of pathology
Apoptosis can be either physiological or pathological
Physiological:
? maintenance of organ size in adults
? organ development
? remodelling in embryo
Pathological:
? response to irreparable DNA damage
? preventing the perpetuation of a
genetically abnormal cell
department of pathology
Stages of apoptosis:
The process of apoptosis occurs
the following four stages.
1.priming
2.enzyme activation
3.fragmentation of the cell
4.phagocytosis
department of pathology
1.Priming:
Synthesis of enzymes
e.g,proteases and nucleases
No structural cellular changes
department of pathology
2.Enzyme activation:
endonucleases
chromatin DNA fragmentation
proteases
cytoskeleton shrinkage
plasma membrane organelles
remain intact
department of pathology
3.fragmentation of the cell:
fragmentation into
apoptotic bodies
apoptotic bodies contains
intact plasma membranes

4.phagocytosis
Apoptotic fragments are
phagocytosed and destroyed
by adjacent cells.
