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 .
