NURSING ANM AND GNM

Detailed explanation-1: -swelling of cells due to injury to the membranes affecting ionic transfer; causes an accumulation of intracellular water. Synonym: albuminous swelling, granular degeneration, hydropic degeneration, parenchymatous degeneration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Normally, it is called Hydropic changes, which refers to excessive water accumulation in the cytoplasm of a cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypo-osmotic stress is induced by the addition of water and causes cell swelling. Hyperosmotic stress is induced by the addition of NaCl and causes cell shrinking.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular swelling (or cloudy swelling) may occur due to cellular hypoxia, which damages the sodium-potassium membrane pump; it is reversible when the cause is eliminated. Cellular swelling is the first manifestation of almost all forms of injury to cells.
