cellular 2 fatty change

General mechanisms

• Abnormal metabolism(fatty change)

• Protein mutations(abnormal proteins)lack of enzymes –lysosomal storage

• Inability to degrade ingested particles-exogenous/endogenous pigments

Celldeath myocardium

• When there is marked cellular injury, there is cell death. This microscopic appearance of myocardium is a mess because so many cells have died that the tissue is not recognizable. Many nuclei have become pyknotic (shrunken and dark) and have then undergone karorrhexis (fragmentation) and karyolysis (dissolution). The cytoplasm and cell borders are not recognizable.
