Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
Apoptosis is:
Pathologic cell death only
Programmed cell death
Unregulated necrosis
Cell swelling injury
Key feature of apoptosis:
Cell swelling
Loss of membrane integrity
DNA fragmentation into nucleosomes
Severe inflammation
Most important enzyme family in apoptosis:
Kinases
Caspases
Phosphatases
Cyclins
Intrinsic apoptotic pathway is triggered by:
Death receptors
Mitochondrial damage only
Calcium influx
Bacterial toxins
Anti-apoptotic member of Bcl-2 family:
Bax
Bak
Bcl-2
Bid
Pro-apoptotic protein:
Bcl-2
Bcl-xL
Bak
MDM2
Death receptor–mediated apoptosis involves:
TNF & Fas pathways
Lysosomal leakage
Mitochondrial ATP rise
Calcium binding
Executioner caspases include:
Caspase-8 and 9
Caspase-3 and 6
Caspase-1 and 2
Caspase-11 only
Apoptotic bodies are:
Large swollen cells
Fragments with intact membranes
Necrotic debris
Denatured proteins only
Inflammation in apoptosis is:
Severe
Mild
Absent
Chronic
Morphology of apoptosis includes:
Karyorrhexis & shrinkage
Cell swelling
Plasma membrane rupture
Lysosomal digestion
Most specific marker of apoptosis:
Caspase activation
Lipid peroxidation
Mitochondrial swelling
Calcification
TUNEL test detects:
Protein denaturation
Endonuclease-mediated DNA breaks
Mitochondrial damage
Cytoplasmic RNA
Reversible cell injury hallmark:
Nuclear fragmentation
Cell swelling
Membrane rupture
Karyolysis
Earliest reversible injury is:
Fatty change
Cell shrinkage
Hydropic change
Nuclear pyknosis
Irreversible injury hallmark:
Severe membrane damage
Mild vacuolation
Reversible swelling
Fat accumulation
Mitochondrial permeability transition mainly leads to:
More ATP
Loss of ATP
More protein synthesis
No effect on cell
Feature of irreversible injury:
Ribosome detachment only
Massive calcium influx
DNA condensation only
Reversible blebbing
Most reliable indicator of irreversible injury:
Nuclear changes (karyolysis)
Cell swelling
Fatty change
Membrane blebs
Apoptosis vs necrosis difference:
Necrosis = no inflammation
Apoptosis = inflammation present
Apoptosis = no inflammation
Necrosis = shrinkage
