ANSWERS PASSED 100%
1. Apoptosis Programmed death of individual cells in response to events such
as embryo development or irreparable DNA damage
2. p53 A tumor suppressor protein that senses irreparable DNA damage and
signals to the cell to undergo apoptosis
3. Abscess A structure filled with a yellow-white mixture of dead human and bacterial
cells
and dead human tissue made during an inflammatory immune
response A type of liquefactive necrosis
4. Necrosis The premature death of many cells caused by a traumatic event
Leads to an inflammatory immune response
5. Coagulatio A type of necrosis caused by oxygen deprivation in which the dead cells
n Necrosis
retain their shape
6. Hydropic Tissue looks like a gel
Degen-eration
Cell swelling due to excessive water influx following an injury
Can be caused by a lack of ATP, which prevents a sodium-potassium
pump from working and moves sodium (and water) into the cell
7. Hyperplasia An increase in cell number, caused by a growth stimulus like a hormone,
that can also result in tissue or organ enlargement
8. Liquefactio s
n Necrosis
9. Rhabdomyolysi

ANSWERS PASSED 100%
A condition in which injured skeletal muscles release large amounts of
myoglobin, which is toxic to the kidneys and can lead to kidney
failure and death
10. Endotoxins Bacterial toxins that are released from the bacterial cell wall upon their
death,
possibly causing increased illness following the administration of
antibiotics to an infected individual
11. Water-Soluble Vi- Vitamins that, when in excess, easily leave the body through the urine and
tamins
rarely cause cellular injury
12. Caseous Ex.: vitamin B, vitamin C
Necro-sis
A type of necrosis caused by prolonged trauma to the
13. Lysosomal
Stor-age tissue Tissue looks like cottage cheese
Disorders
Genetic disorders caused by the improper accumulation of molecules in a
lyso-
some due to lysosomal dysfunction
Ex.: Mannosidosis, Tay-Sachs disease
14. Hypertrophy An increase in cell size (not cell number), caused by an increase in the
number of cell organelles, that can also result in tissue or organ
enlargement
Occurs during weightlifting
15. Lipofuscin A fat-based pigment that sometimes remains following the breakdown of
cellular membranes by the lysosome

Accumulation can cause dysfunction of tissues and organs, especially in
the CNS and eyes
16. Arachidonic Acid A fatty acid involved in acute immune responses that is released by cell
mem-
branes in response to cell injury, cell death, and normal metabolic processes
