Granulation tissue vs. Granulomatous tissue Flashcards
Describe granulation tissues:
It is highly vascular, and when viewed with the naked eye is red and granular
Is the tissue that repairs wounds:
granulation tissue
In granulation tissue, what serves as the scaffolding for endothelial cells and fibroblasts that grow into the clot from the wound margin?
fibrin strands
In granulation tissues the wound fills with a blood clot and the fibrin strands in the clot serve as scaffolding for _____ and ____ that grow into the clot from the wound margin
endothelial cells and fibroblasts
In granulation tissue, endothelium forms new ______ and fibroblasts makes new _____ that restores _____
vascular channels; collagen; tensile strength
What are the two main cell types in granulation tissue?
- endothelial cells
- fibroblasts
What is the terminal event in an injury/inflammatory lesion?
repair
What would happen to wounds without granulation tissue?
Wounds would not heal
Granulation tissue may overgrow and form an unwelcome mass called a:
pyogenic granuloma
A pyogenic granuloma can simply be considered:
Too much of a good thing (granulation tissue)
An abscessed tooth left untreated may develop a mass of chronically inflamed granulation tissue at the root tip called a:
periapical dental granuloma
This is a photo of _______.
What do the red areas represent?
Granulation tissue; newly formed vascular channels
This image shows a _____. Which is an overgrowth of inflamed ______.
Pyogenic granuloma; inflamed granulation tissue
A persistent growth of inflamed granulation tissue at the apex of a tooth with a necrotic pulp:
periapical dental granuloma
Tissue that contains granulomas:
granulomatous tissue
