What is the fundamental definition of hypoxic injury? - ANSWER>Hypoxic injury occurs when a cell does not receive
sufficient oxygen to maintain its normal functions.
Why is oxygen critical for cellular survival? - ANSWER>Oxygen is required to produce ATP, which serves as the
primary energy source for the cell's metabolic processes, including the operation of ion pumps.
What is the sequence of events leading from low oxygen to cell death? - ANSWER>Low oxygen leads to low ATP,
which causes the sodium-potassium pump to fail. Sodium accumulates inside the cell, drawing water in via
osmosis, resulting in cell swelling, dysfunction, and eventually cell death if the condition persists.
What are common clinical causes of hypoxic injury? - ANSWER>Common causes include heart attack, stroke,
anemia, shock, respiratory failure, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Which organs are most susceptible to hypoxic injury and why? - ANSWER>The brain, heart, and kidneys are most
susceptible because they have high metabolic demands and require a constant, significant supply of oxygen.
