★ Must-know
Cell injury may be reversible, irreversible, programmed, or residual, and its consequences include degeneration, cell death by necrosis, apoptosis, subcellular injury, intracellular accumulation of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, gangrene, and pathological calcification.
The principal mechanisms of cell injury are ischemia and hypoxia, free-radical injury, toxic injury, and immune-mediated injury.

★ Must-know
Reversible parenchymal changes include intracellular accumulation of water, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and pigments.
Intracellular water accumulation includes cell swelling, hydropic changes, and vacuolar changes.
