ADAPTATION VS CELL INJURY
Cell injury is a reversible or irreversible conditions which occur after the limits of adaptive response to a stimulus are exceeded
Cells may recover if the injury is mild and transient (reversible) but if the stress is severe and progressive, cell death occurs (irreversible)

CAUSES OF CELL INJURY
Oxygen Deprivation (Hypoxia)Chemical Agents Infectious AgentsImmunological ReactionsGenetic FactorsNutritional ImbalancesPhysical AgentsAgeing

REVERSIBLE INJURY
Cellular swelling: Inability to maintain ion and fluid homeostasis
Fatty change : Lipid vacuoles in the cytoplasm
