Exam Two Flashcards
Hemostasis
1st stage in wound healing
Immeadiate, vasospasm->relaxation
Platelets aggregate to exposed collagen and a network of fibrin forms
Inflammation
24-96 hours
degradation- leukocytes clean up cell debris
Leukocytes secrete chemotactic and growth factors-> proliferation phase
Proliferation
3-7 days lasting up to 3-4 wks
Regeneration of tissue (angiogenesis, epithelialization, fibrosis)
Granulation tissue forms
collagen deposition
Maturation
After 3-4 wks can last years
remodeling of granulation tissue, maturation of fibrosis, wound contraction
vascular regression
Primary intention
wounds with opposed edges
Secondary intention
gaping, septic wounds
foreign bodies
wounds with delayed healing processes
How do wounds healing by secondary intention heal?
large amounts of granulation tissue and wound contraction
Epithelial migration delayed
How to leukocytes degrade a wound?
Phagocytosis and lysosomal degradation
degranulation and release of digestive enzymes
Matrix metalloproteinases (degrade ECM)
Growth factors are needed for ________
proliferation
differentiation
EGF does what?
binds receptors on epithelial cells-> activates MAPK-> induces G0 phase cell cycle
What growth factors are needed for angiogenesis?
PDGF, FGF, VEDG-A binding to GF-R
How to growth factors induce vascular formation?
endothelial proliferation
recruitment of pericytes
deposition of ECM proteins
fibroplasia
migration and proliferation of fibroblasts
fibrosis
scar formation by connective tissue remodeling
Factors that favor fibrosis
severe and prolonged tissue injury
Loss of basement membranes
large amounts of exudate/inflammation
lack of renewable cell populations
TGF-B is important for
firbroblast migration and proliferation and collagen/ECM protein synthesis
