9.19 Injury, Inflammation, Healing 3 Flashcards
goal of tissue healing
restore function if possible
What is necessary for tissue return to function?
regeneration
tissue regeneration
- not possible in all tissue (neuron, cardiac muscle)
- new research is promising
repair of connective tissue
- scarring
- muscle fibrosis
repair: maintains integrity of the tissue but does NOT
function as original cells and tissues
components that help with the repair process
- fibronectin
- proteoglycan and elastin
- collagen
fibronectin
- tensile strength
- glue
proteoglycans and elastin
fibroblast proliferation
collagen
- fibrous protein
- structural support and tensile strength of tissue
What is the most important protein that provides structural support?
collagen
Factors that affect healing?
- growth factors
- vascular supply
- age, tissue health, disease, psychological status, alcohol, smoking, nutrition, tissue type, meds, etc.
What are the phases of healing?
- hemostasis and degeneration phase
- inflammation phase
- proliferation and migration phase
- remodeling and maturation phase
hemostasis and degeneration phase
- initiation phase
- stops bleeding
inflammation phase
prepares for healing
proliferation and migration phase
rebuilds and strengthens damaged tissue
