Reversible and Irreversible Cell Injury · Pathology

Myocardial cells that have undergone coagulative necrosis retain which feature for several days?

  1. Functional contractility
  2. Nuclei with clear nucleoli
  3. Normal intracellular pH
  4. Basic structural outline
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Basic structural outline

Coagulative necrosis preserves the architecture of dead tissue for a span of at least some days. The injury denatures not only structural proteins but also enzymes, which blocks the proteolysis of the dead cells.
