Cellular Injury — General Pathology
General Pathology · Basic Sciences
How it begins
Las células se encuentran en un estado de homeostasis dinámica , manteniendo su estructura y función dentro de un rango fisiológico a través de mecanismos de adaptación continuos. Cuando el estrés supera la capacidad adaptativa de la célula, ocurre la lesión celular .
