Which of the following is not a pattern of cell death in tissues?

Compare acute cell injury with cellular adaptations.

What is lipofuscin?

Metatstatic calcification is due to precipitation of calcium at sites of cell/tissue injury

Which of the following mechanisms explains the pathogenesis of alcohol-induced fatty liver?

Metaplasia can be characterized by which of the following?

Which is an example of physiologic apoptosis?

In a Masson Trichrome stain

Which of the following would you expect to see in necrosis?

You are examining the tissue of a patient who had a subarachnoid hemorrhage. When looking at the brain tissue microscopically, what would you expect to observe in the area of hemorrhage?

At what point in cell injury would you expect to observe hydropic change of the cell?

You know that irreversible cell injury is often characterized by nuclear changes. Which of the nuclear changes describes pyknosis?

In coagulative necrosis, the shapes of cells and tissues change dramatically, but the nuclei/organelles are intact.

Where would you expect to see liquefactive necrosis most often?

Your patient's cells and tissues demonstrate obvious enzymatic necrosis. You immediately know the condition that (likely) caused this is:

What is the most common cause of caseous necrosis?

Fibrinoid necrosis is caused by injury to vessel walls that causes leakage of protein and fibrin from the circulation that becomes entrapped. Which vascular injury might cause this type of necrosis?

What is a heterophagosome?

In your elective oncology rotation, a patient presents with multiple calcified breast tumors. You know this to be a result of metastatic calcification.

Upon histological examination, tissue cells demonstrate what looks like "nuclear dust". This is characteristic of

In response to [blank_start]cigarette smoke[blank_end], columnar epithelial cells of the bronchial epithelium undergo squamous [blank_start]metaplasia[blank_end]. Smoking-induced metaplasia may lead to bronchial squamous cell [blank_start]neoplasia[blank_end].
