Cell Proliferation and Tissue Regeneration and Repair Flashcards
Tissue repair overlaps
The inflammatory process
Tissue repair is a response to
Tissue injury in an attempt to maintain normal tissue function
The capacity for regeneration varies with the
Tissue and cell type
Tissue regeneration involves
Replacement of the injured tissue with cells of the same type
> > Leaving little or no evidence of the previous injury
Body organs and tissues are composed of two types of structures
Parenchymal
Stromal
Parenchymal tissues contain the
Functioning cells of an organ or body part
> > > Hepatocytes, renal tubular cells
Stromal tissues consist of
The supporting connective tissues, blood vessels, ECM, and nerve fibers
Injured cells may either be replaced with _____, or the damaged tissue may be replaced by _____
Cells of the same type
Connective tissue, forming scar tissue.
There are 3 different types of cells within the body which may play a role in tissue regeneration
Labile cells
Stable cells
Permanent cells
Labile cells are those that
Includes
Continue to divide and replicate throughout life, replacing cells that are continually being destroyed
The surface epithelial cells of the skin
Labile cells are able to
Regenerate tissue
Stable cells are those that
Normally stop dividing when growth ceases
Stable cells are capable of undergoing
Regeneration when confronted with an appropriate stimulus
Examples of stable cells are
Parenchymal cells of the liver and kidney, smooth muscle cells, and vascular endothelial cells
Stable cells are able to
Regenerate certain types of tissue
Permanent or fixed cells do not __________ and are considered to be
Proliferate
Terminally differentiated.
Permanent cells do not undergo
They are, therefore, unable to participate in
Mitotic division
Tissue regeneration
Examples of permanent cells are
Nerve cells, skeletal muscle cells, and cardiac muscle cells
Severe injury with damage to both the _______ and _______ may lead to ____________
Parenchymal cells and the extracellular matrix (EM)
Fibrous tissue repair
In fibrous tissue repair, repair occurs by
The process involves generation of ______ and formation of _______
Replacement with connective tissue
Granulation tissue
Scar tissue
Granulation tissue is a
It contains
Glistening red, moist connective tissue
Newly formed capillaries, proliferating fibroblasts, and residual inflammatory cells
The purpose of granulation tissue is to
Fill the injured area while necrotic debris is removed
