If you are referring to cellular membrane, different types of injury vary according to the cell type. Some typical examples of agents that may cause damage to cellular membrane in people are:
Toxic drugs, solvents & metals; oxidative stress; gastric acid; cigarette smoke; autoimmune damage; excessive hormonal activity; physical trauma; heat/cold; too little or too many dietary elements; radiation; viruses; bacteria; parasites; fungi.

What is the scientific name for when cells swell and burst?
The scientific term for when cells swell and burst is "lysis". This can occur due to factors such as osmotic imbalance or physical damage to the cell membrane.
When a cell membrane is damaged by a free radical which specific component of the cell membrane is damaged?
The unsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipid bilayer are the specific components of the cell membrane that are vulnerable to damage by free radicals. Free radicals can cause lipid peroxidation of these fatty acids, leading to membrane dysfunction and cell damage.
What are some factors that affect the rate of ultrafiltration?
Factors that affect the rate of ultrafiltration include the size of the filtration membrane pores, the pressure gradient across the membrane, the concentration gradient of solutes across the membrane, and the surface area of the membrane available for filtration. Temperature and fluid viscosity can also influence ultrafiltration rate.
What is a core membrane?
A core membrane is a protective layer surrounding the genetic material of a virus. This membrane helps shield the virus's genetic material from external factors and aids in its ability to infect host cells.
How does hydrocortisone stabilize lysosomal membranes?
Hydrocortisone stabilizes lysosomal membranes by reducing the release of enzymes that can damage the lysosomal membrane. It also helps to decrease inflammation and limit the immune response that can contribute to lysosomal membrane damage. Overall, hydrocortisone's anti-inflammatory properties help to protect the lysosomal membrane and maintain its integrity.
What happens if a cell membrane doesn't function?
it will damage
What will happen to the cell if the plasma membrane is damage?
it dies.
What is the scientific name for when cells swell and burst?
The scientific term for when cells swell and burst is "lysis". This can occur due to factors such as osmotic imbalance or physical damage to the cell membrane.
What does the conjunctiva do?
The conjunctive is a thin membrane covering the eyeball, and protects it from damage.
What is the result of damage to the thlaykoid membrane in a plant?
A decrease in glucose production
When a cell membrane is damaged by a free radical which specific component of the cell membrane is damaged?
The unsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipid bilayer are the specific components of the cell membrane that are vulnerable to damage by free radicals. Free radicals can cause lipid peroxidation of these fatty acids, leading to membrane dysfunction and cell damage.
What is cellular damage?
Damage at the cellular level - such as damage to mitochondria or enzymes, damage to the DNA or damage to the cell membrane. If the damage is serious enough, this will lead to either apoptosis (programmed, controlled cell-death), or necrosis (spontaneous, unplanned death).
What regulates the rate of passive transport?
The rate of passive transport is regulated by factors such as the concentration gradient of the solute across the membrane, the surface area available for transport, the permeability of the membrane to the solute, and the temperature of the system. These factors affect the movement of molecules across the membrane without the use of energy.
What are some factors that affect the rate of ultrafiltration?
Factors that affect the rate of ultrafiltration include the size of the filtration membrane pores, the pressure gradient across the membrane, the concentration gradient of solutes across the membrane, and the surface area of the membrane available for filtration. Temperature and fluid viscosity can also influence ultrafiltration rate.
Why DNA is not a component of the plasma membrane?
The membrane is the most exposed part of the cell, it is chemically active and comes into contact with many chemicals. DNA here would be exposed to possible damage. Having the DNA enclosed in the nucleus and nuclear membrane better protects this very important "director" from potential damage.
What would happen to a cell if its membrane burst?
It would depend on the extent of the damage to the cell membrane. If there is only minor damage to the membrane, the cell will produce the necessary proteins, fats and carbohydrates to repair the damage, and work towards returning to homeostasis. If the damage is extensive, the cell will lyse and die, as it is no longer able to maintain homeostasis.
What will happen if plasma membrane stopped working?
It will cause damage in our body cells. This is Lethel.
