Chapter 4-Cell Proliferation, Tissue Regeneration & Repair Flashcards
What is the difference between tissue regeneration in Parenchymal and Stomal tissue?
Parenchymal tissue:
- the functional parts of an organ or body
- replaced with cells of same type, often left with no signs of any precious damage
Stomal tissue:
- the supporting tissue of organs, namely, the connective tissues (BV, fibroblasts, nerve fibers)
- where scars are seen
Compare cell proliferation with cell differentiation.
PROLIFERATION:
- process of increasing cell numbers by mitotic division
- the dominant process
- occurs during cellular stage of inflammatory response
DIFFERENTIATION:
-process whereby a cell becomes more specialized in terms of structure and function
The more specialized and differentiated cells are the less they are able to proliferated.
What is the main structural protein of various connective tissues?
Collagen
What are growth factors?
Proteins that drive proliferation.
What are the 5 stages of the cell cycle?
G1 - post mitotic phase where DNA synthesis ceases and RNA & protein syntheses and cell growth take place
S - DNA synthesis : gives rise to 2 sets of chromosomes
G2 - pre mitotic phase where DNA synthesis while RNA & proteins are synthesized
M - mitosis: nuclear division
G0 - resting state of the cell; cell exit the cell cycle
*Sequence is complex = all of these are needed to have this sequence happen
What is Proliferative Capacity of Tissues?
- Depends on what type of tissue it is
- The capacity for regeneration varies with tissue and cell type.
- Divided dependent on the ability of their Parenchymal cells to undergo regeneration.
What are the 3 divisions of body tissues?
- Continuously doubling: (continuously regenerating) epithelial, GI tract, blood, bone marrow
- Stable: (division occurs less often) liver, kidney, smooth muscle, vascular endothelial and fibroblast cells
- Permanent tissues: nerve, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle - once damaged they are replaced with fibrinous bands/scar tissue and lack function
What is the goal of all tissue repair?
Fill in gap
Try to get structural integrity back and continuity
Describe the two types of tissue repair
Tissue regeneration:
- angiogenesis: occurs first during this process by connective tissue deposition
- involves the replacement of the injured tissue with cells of the same type leaving little evidence of the previous injury
Fibrous tissue repair:
- occurs when regeneration can’t
- repair occurs by the replacement with connective tissue, a process that involved generation of granulation tissue and formation of scar tissue
As a nurse what should you consider when it comes to a patient who is currently going through the wound healing process?
Protein (red meat) Calories Glucose (glycemic control for diabetics) Oxygen Blood flow GI control (nausea)
What is granulation tissue?
- Good, means wound is healing
- Glistening meat red, gooey, beefy red
- Do not rub off, pat to clean
What are the two types of cutaneous wound healing?
Primary intention and secondary intention
What is Primary Intention?
Sutured surgical incision or cut, stitched up nice and neat
Heals quickly
What is secondary intention?
-heals from the bottom up forming granulation tissue.
Larger wounds which have a greater loss of tissue and contamination
What are the 3 phases of wound healing?
- Inflammatory phase
- Proliferative Phase
- Remodeling phase
