Pathophysiology cells

Topic 1: Cells

The body’s cells have the ability to adapt and change as a result of different stimuli the body encounters. These can be normal changes or abnormal changes. 

Discuss the types of normal and abnormal cellular responses and provide examples of diseases or conditions in which they occur. 

Explain the circumstances in which the cells may or may not be able to return to their original state. 

Discuss the ways cells can be injured or damaged and how eventually cell death can occur. 

• Discuss the role of the liver and free fatty acids in cellular changes. 

We know cell growth and renewal as well as cell death are ongoing processes in the body. We must consider what happens to the cells that are being replaced. 

• Explain the pathophysiologic concepts related to reversible cell injury. 

Explain the pathophysiologic process and concepts related to apoptosis. 

• Explain the pathophysiologic process of the death of a cell and necrosis. Please include the types of gangrene and explain. 

Have you ever cared for a patient with any of these cell injury or cell death-related conditions?
