What Are Some Examples of Morphological Changes Due to Toxins?

Various morphological changes can occur due to toxin exposure, such as:
Cell Swelling: Often caused by the disruption of cellular ion balance, leading to water influx.
Nuclear Changes: Such as apoptosis, characterized by chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation.
Cytoplasmic Vacuolation: Formation of vacuoles within the cytoplasm, often a response to cellular stress.
Membrane Blebbing: Indication of necrosis or apoptosis, where cell membrane forms bulges.
