What is cell injury? What are the types of cell injury?

Cell injury:
When cells are stressed so severely that they are no longer able to adapt or when cells are exposed to inherently damaging agents or suffer from intrinsic abnormalities. Injury may progress through a reversible stage and culminate in cell death.

Types of cell injury:
1. Reversible cell injury.
2. Irreversible cell injury or cell death.
