Cell Injury and Cellular Adaptations
Figure 3.7 Ultrastructural changes during cell injury due to hypoxia-ischaemia.
While cell damage from oxygen deprivation by above Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury and
mechanisms develops slowly, taking several minutes to Free Radical-Mediated Cell Injury
hours, the cell injury is accentuated after restoration of blood Depending upon the duration of ischaemia/hypoxia,
supply and subsequent events termed ischaemic-reperfusion restoration of blood flow may result in the following
injury and liberation of toxic free radicals, discussed below. 3 different consequences:
