Question

in hypoxic cell injury cell swelling occurs because of increased intracellular​

Answer 1

swelling (or cloudy swelling) may occur due to cellular hypoxia, which damages the sodium-potassium membrane pump; it is reversible when the cause is eliminated. Cellular swelling is the first manifestation of almost all forms of injury to cells.

Answer 2

Answer: Cell swelling in hypoxic cell injury is due to increased intracellular water content.

Explanation:

When there is not enough oxygen present in the tissues, the condition is called hypoxia. As a result, one of the quickest impacts of hypoxia is the disruption of the usual ionic gradients across the cell membrane. It causes  quick efflux of potassium from the cell, while sodium and calcium rapidly enters into the cell. Thus the increased salt concentration results in increased osmotic pressure which causes water to enter the cell as well, causing cellular swelling and distortion that may impair organelle function.
