Chapter 10 - Tissue Response to Injury Flashcards
5 signs of inflammation
redness (rubor) swelling (tumor) pain (dolor) temp (calor) loss of function (function lease)
inflammatory response phase lasts
about 4 days
inflammation caused by
cellular injury results in altered metabolisms and liberation of materials that initiate inflammation
injury causes altered metabolisms and release of materials and chemicals that initiate inflammation
1st responders of inflammation
leukocytes, phagocytic cells, exudates
Phases of inflammatory response
vascular reaction, phagocytosis, formation of a clot
vascular reactions
immediate vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation
initial effusion last 24-36 hours
chemical mediators: histamine, leukotaxin, necrosis, leukocytes
histamine
released from mast cells; vasodilation, increased cell permeability, sensitizes pain receptors
Leukotaxin
margination; increases cell permeability locally to allow for diapedesis
Diapedesis
movement of wbc out of small arterial walls
Necrosin
phagocytic activity; amount of swelling that occurs directly related to extent of vessel damage
Leukocytes
neutrophils and macrophages - cause release of bradykinin and prostaglandin
Bradykinin
increased permeability, pain, stimulates release of prostaglandin
Prostaglandin
increases permeability of blood vessels and tissue (increased space for WBC’s to move)
three phases of the healing process
inflammatory response phase, fibroblastic repair phase, maturation-remodeling phase
margination
neutrophils and macrophages line up along the cell wall
cytokines
attrack phagocytes to site of inflammation
vascular reaction
vascular spasm, formation of a platelet plug, blood coagulation, growth of fibrous tissue
what state does immediate vasoconstriction cause
local anemia, followed by rapid hyperemia because of vasodilation
formation of platelet plug
platelets adhere to collagen fibers that stick out due to injury.. create sticky matrix that sticks to more platelets and leukocytes to eventually form a platelet plug
formation of a clot
damaged cell–>thromboplastin –>prothrombin changed to thrombin –> fibrinogen changed to fibrin –> clot shuts off blood supply to injured area
clot formation begins when?
12 hours after injury and completed within 48 hours.
initial flammatory phase lasts
2-4 days
Chronic inflammation
neutrophils present during normal acute inflammation are replaced with macrophages, lymphocytes, and fibroblasts, and plasma cells.
this causes damage to occur to the healthy cells around the dead cells - damage to the CT - causes necrosis and fibrosis.
forms granulation tissue
PMN’s
polymoprhonuclear neutrophils - first on the scene - kill bacteria - will die off and create a toxic environment
mononuclear phagocytes / macrophages
after PMN’s.
once debris is removed from site of injury
blood coagulates, exudates coagulates to form fibrin network to localize injury, epithelial cells migrate to edges and fibroblasts enter to regrow capillaries
granulation tissue
fibroblasts, collagen, capillaries
extracellular matrix
callagen, elastin, ground substance, proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans
fibroblastic repair phase
fibroplasia - scar formation - can last 4-6 weeks
as the fibrin clot breaks down..
granulation tissue is formed. capillaries grown into the area, and fibroblasts accumulate lay down parallel to capillaries
fibroblasts
synthesize extracellular matrix and begin to randomly deposit collagen fibers to form the scar. Type III collagen is most common
tensile forces
tensile forces help strengthen the collagen and lead it into the maturation phase, presence of fibroblasts is diminished
maturation-remodeling phase
long-term process. realignment or remodeling of the collagen fibers according to the subjected tensile forces
types of repair
resolution: little no damage - normal restoration
granulation: initially laying down of type III - changes to type 1 in 2 weeks
regneration: new cells of same type are generation and capable of performing same function
factors that impede healing
extent of injury, edema, hemorrhage, poor vascular supply, separation of tissue, muscle spasm, corticosteroids, keloids, infection, humidity, climate, health, age, nutrition
