The morphologic features of Neuronal cell deal consist of all EXCEPT
Correct Answer: Basophilic inclusions
Description: (A) Basophilic inclusions # Acute neuronal injury (red neuron) refers to a spectrum of changes that accompany acute CNS hypoxia/ischemia or infectious and toxic insults that ultimately lead to death of the cell.> Red neurons are evident with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) preparations at about 12 to 24 hours after an irreversible hypoxic/ ischemic insult.> The morphologic features consist of shrinkage of the cell body, pyknosis of the nucleus, disappearance of the nucleolus, and loss of Nissl substance, with intense eosinophilia of the cytoplasm.> Often, the nucleus assumes the angulated shape of the shrunken perikaryon.> Experimental studies have defined even earlier (4 to 8 hours) structural changes that attend irreversible neuronal injury consisting of small vacuoles within the cell body; these are difficult to detect in human tissue examined post mortem
