PATHOLOGY FOUNDATIONS
YEAR 1 | PAGE 15A - CELL INJURY, INFLAMMATION + REPAIR CONCEPT MASTERY
MECHANISM FIRST
Build general pathology as one causal chain: STRESS/INSULT -> ADAPTATION/REVERSIBLE INJURY -> IRREVERSIBLE INJURY/DEATH -> INFLAMMATION -> RESOLUTION/REPAIR/FIBROSIS. Connect trigger -> mechanism -> morphology -> functional consequence.

| 1. | Cellular Adaptation + Cell Injury - Armando Hasudungan | ~8 min BONUS | Hyperplasia, hypertrophy, atrophy, metaplasia and the reversible-to-irreversible injury transition - a concise bridge before deeper pathology. | |
| 2. | Necrosis and Apoptosis - Osmosis from Elsevier | ~12 min | Mechanism and morphology of necrotic vs programmed cell death; use it to predict inflammation and tissue consequences. | |
| 3. | Inflammation: Vascular Events: Part 1 - Ninja Nerd | ~34 min | Mediators, vasodilation, permeability, stasis, margination and the vascular logic behind acute inflammatory findings. | |
| 4. | Inflammation: Cellular Events: Part 2 - Ninja Nerd | ~21 min | Leukocyte rolling/adhesion/transmigration, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, opsonization and killing - mechanism to morphology. | |
| 5. | Wound Healing - Osmosis from Elsevier | ~10 min | Hemostasis -> inflammation -> epithelialization/fibroplasia -> maturation; primary, secondary and tertiary intention plus impaired healing. | |
| 6. | Free Radicals and Cellular Injury - Osmosis from Elsevier | ~8 min BONUS | ROS generation, lipid/protein/DNA injury, antioxidant defenses, metals and reperfusion injury - a recurring cell-injury mechanism. |
A. DEEP GENERAL-PATHOLOGY VIDEOS - DIRECT & PLAYABLE — CORE PATHOLOGY CLOSED-BOOK CHECK
- Classify hyperplasia, hypertrophy, atrophy and metaplasia; distinguish reversible from irreversible injury.
- Link ATP depletion, calcium influx, ROS, mitochondrial damage and membrane injury to morphology and function.
- Distinguish major necrosis patterns from apoptosis and predict the inflammatory response.
- Reconstruct acute inflammation and wound repair; explain regeneration vs fibrosis and factors that impair healing. VIDEO-FIRST | SCHOOL-EXAM + BOARD-EXAM MASTERY
