Which finding on electron microscopy indicates irreversible cell injury:
Ans. (c) Flocculent amorphous densities in the mitochondria(Ref: Robbins 9th/pg 42; 8th/pg 19; Refer to Ans 27)Please note: myelin figures first appear in reversible cellular injury and become more pronounced in irreversible cell injury. Hence if this q was asked in PGI, answer should be both c and d. but if we have to mark one.. mark c.
Dilatation of endoplasmic reticulum.
Dissociation of ribosomes from rough endoplasmic reticulum
Flocculent amorphous densities in the mitochondria
Myelin figures
