1. What is the best term for a reversible change in cell structure and function that helps a cell survive a stress when adaptive limits are not exceeded?
2. Which sequence best describes what happens when a stress is removed before damage becomes severe?
3. Which condition is an example of oxygen deprivation causing cell injury by reducing aerobic oxidative respiration?
Homeostasis — definition?
Steady functional state of a cell.
Adaptation — role?
Reversible cellular changes to survive stress.
Cell injury — triggers?
Exceeds adaptive limits, nutrient deficiency, or function impairment.
Reversible injury — hallmark?
Cell swelling and hydropic change.
Irreversible injury — key feature?
Severe membrane damage and mitochondrial failure.
Necrosis pattern — coagulative?
Architecture preserved, seen in infarcts.
