Chapter 4- Book Flashcards
The restoration of tissue structure sand function after an injury
Tissue repair
Replacement of tissue with new tissue of same type
Regeneration
This type of tissue leads to fibrosis and scar formation
Connective tissue
The Body tissue and organs are composed of two types of tissue:
Parenchymal
And
Stromal
Actual cells of each organ (tissue type)
Ex: liver cells
Parenchymal
Supporting connective tissues, blood vessels, fibroblasts, nerve fibers, and extracellular matrix.
(Ex: anything in the heart that isn’t a cardiac muscle cell)
Stromal tissue
The process of increasing the # of cells of an organ or body part
Proliferation
process where a cell becomes more specialized in terms of structure and function
Cell differentiation (specialization)
Undifferentiated cells that are capable of producing many types of different cells
Stem cells
Proliferation of cells is drive by ___________
Growth factor
All different cell types in the body originate from this cell
Fertilized ovum
As a cell becomes more ______, the stimulus to induce mitosis becomes more ______
Specialized, limited.
What are the cell cycle phases (4)
G1, S, G2, M
What happens in the G1 phase of the cell cycle?
Post mitotic phase.
DNA replication stops while RNA, protein synthesis and cell growth takes place.
Increase in organelles and cytoskeletal elements in prep for DNA replication in next phase
What happens in the S phase of the cell cycle?
DNA replication, creates two separate sets of chromosomes
Each set has a ‘daughter’ chromosome that remains the stem cell (unchaged and continues to replicate)
