Term
_________ denies cells of oxygen?
Definition
hypoxia
Term
_____________ can result from inadequate oxygen in the air, respiratory disease, decreased blood flow due to circulatory disease, anemia or the inability of the cells to use oxygen.
Definition
hypoxia
Term
The most common cause of hypoxia is?
Definition
ischemia which results from reduced blood supply
Term
what are the types of necrosis?
Definition
coagulative, fat and gangrenous
Term
This necrosis occurs primarily in the kidneys, heart and adrenal glands and usually results in hypoxia caused by severe ischemia?
Definition
coagulative
Term
This necrosis is found in the breast, pancreas and other abdominal structures and is a specific cellular dissolution caused by lipases?
Definition
fat
Term
This necrosis refers to the death of tissue usually in considerable masses with putrefaction.
Definition
gangrenous
Term
This gangrene is usually due to coagulative necrosis?
Definition
dry
Term
This gangrene is caused by the bacterial infection of injured tissue by a species of Clostridium?
Definition
gas
Term
This gangrene develops when neutrophils invade the site and cause liquefactive necrosis?
Definition
wet
