Blood-Material Interactions Flashcards
Week 7
How do you identify the macrophages in this image?
- size of macrophage
fixme insert annotated picture
What are two vital functions of macrophages?
- Recognize cells as ‘self’ or ‘not self’
- Phagocytosis (engulfing other cells)
What type of cell is a neutrophil?
Immune cell
What does the immune system do?
- Mobile
- Find bacteria
- Chemotaxis (movement of a cell/organism)
What are the 8 steps in the body’s response to injury?
- Injury
- Blood-biomaterial interaction
- Provisional matrix formation
- Acute (short-term) inflammation
- Chronic (long-term) inflammation
- Granulation tissue
- Foreign body reaction
- Fibrous capsule formation
True or False:
Surgery alone is an injury.
True
A fibrous capsule forms around an implant. Afterward, how does it integrate with the surrounding tissue?
It doesn’t become part of the tissue. It’s walled off.
What is the sequence of cell types in response to an implanted biomaterial?
- Neutrophils
- Monocytes
- Macrophages
- Fibroblasts and foreign body giant cells
- Myofibroblasts
What are the 5 stages of healing after a biomaterial is implanted?
- Biomaterial implantation
- Protein adsorption
- Macrophage adhesion
- Encapsulation
- Capsular contracture
