71
Q

Cells restore homeostasis with two processes

A
  1. Inflammation

2. Regeneration

72
Q

Signs and symptoms of the inflammatory

response include:

A
  • Swelling
  • Redness
  • Heat
  • Pain
73
Q

The tissue’s first response to injury

A

Inflammation = Inflammatory Response

74
Q

Damaged cells release what 3 chemical signals into the

surrounding interstitial fluid

A
  • Prostaglandins
  • Proteins
  • Potassium ions
75
Q

As cells break down:

A

• Lysosomes release enzymes that destroy the injured cell and
attack surrounding tissues
• Tissue destruction is called necrosis

76
Q

Injury stimulates mast cells to release these 3 things:

A
  • Histamine
  • Heparin
  • Prostaglandins
77
Q

Dilation of blood vessels:

A

Increases blood circulation in the area
• Causes warmth and redness
• Brings more nutrients and oxygen to the area
• Removes wastes

78
Q

The Process of Inflammation

A
  • Dilation of blood vessels
  • Increases blood circulation in the area
  • Causes warmth and redness
  • Brings more nutrients and oxygen to the area
  • Removes wastes
  • Plasma diffuses into the area
  • Causes swelling and pain
  • Phagocytic white blood cells
  • Clean up the area
79
Q

• Regeneration

A

• Fibrocytes move into necrotic area
• Lay down collagen fibers
• To bind the area together (scar tissue)
• New cells migrate into area
• Or are produced by mesenchymal stem cells
• Not all tissues can regenerate
• Epithelia and connective tissues regenerate well
• Cardiac cells and neurons do not regenerate (or
regenerate poorly)

80
Q

Aging and Tissue Structure

A

• Speed and efficiency of tissue repair decrease with
age, due to:
• Slower rate of energy consumption (metabolism)
• Hormonal alterations
• Reduced physical activity

81
Q

Aging and Cancer Incidence

A

• Cancer rates increase with age
• 25% of all people in the United States develop cancer
• Cancer is the # 2 cause of death in the United States
• Environmental chemicals and cigarette smoke cause
cancer
