What is a consequence of leakage of lysosomal enzymes during chemical injury?
◦ Enzymatic digestion of the nucleus and nucleolus occurs, halting DNA synthesis.
◦ Influx of potassium ions into the mitochondria occurs, halting the ATP production.
◦ Edema of the Golgi body prevents the transport of proteins out of the cell.
◦ Shift of calcium out of the plasma membrane occurs, destroying the cytoskeleton.
