1. But to those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, He will give their (due) rewards, and more, out of His bounty: But those who are disdainful and arrogant, He will punish with a grievous penalty; Nor will they find, besides God, any to protect or help them. [004:173] Today’s Quranic verse

2. CELL INJURY

8. Principles of Cell Injury Dependent upon the etiology, duration, and severity of the inciting injury Dependent upon the etiology, duration, and severity of the inciting injury Dependent upon cell type, stage of cell cycle, and cell adaptability Dependent upon cell type, stage of cell cycle, and cell adaptability Cellular membranes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and the genetic apparatus are particularly vulnerable Cellular membranes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and the genetic apparatus are particularly vulnerable Injury at one focus often has a cascade effect Injury at one focus often has a cascade effect Morphologic reactions occur only after critical biochemical (molecular) damage Morphologic reactions occur only after critical biochemical (molecular) damage

9. Normal cell is in a steady state “Homeostasis” Change in Homeostasis due to stimuli - Injury Response to Injury – Reversible (adaptation)/ Irreversible (cell death) Adaptive Responses: –Atrophy –Hypertrophy –Hyperplasia –Metaplasia

10. Reversible vs. Irreversible Injury Cell injury is a continuum, and it is not possible to identify the exact point at which injury becomes irreversible. Cell injury is a continuum, and it is not possible to identify the exact point at which injury becomes irreversible. However, some ultrastructural and light microscopic changes are associated with each form of injury. However, some ultrastructural and light microscopic changes are associated with each form of injury. Once an irreversible injury occurs, the cell undergoes necrosis, which is the light-microscopic hallmark of cell death. Once an irreversible injury occurs, the cell undergoes necrosis, which is the light-microscopic hallmark of cell death.

11. In general, permanent organ injury is associated with the death of individual cells. In general, permanent organ injury is associated with the death of individual cells. By contrast, the cellular response to persistent sub-lethal injury, whether chemical or physical, reflects adaptation of the cell to a hostile environment. These changes are, for the most part, reversible on discontinuation of the stress” By contrast, the cellular response to persistent sub-lethal injury, whether chemical or physical, reflects adaptation of the cell to a hostile environment. These changes are, for the most part, reversible on discontinuation of the stress” If the acute stress to which a cell must react exceeds its ability to adapt, the resulting changes in structure and function lead to the death of the cell If the acute stress to which a cell must react exceeds its ability to adapt, the resulting changes in structure and function lead to the death of the cell
