Healing & Repair Flashcards
Regeneration types
- replacement w/ original cell type
- replacement w/ CT
Labile cells
- proliferate & continually replace destroyed cells
- found in: epithelium, hematopoietic cells of spleen, lymphoid organs, bone marrow
Stable cells
- low replication rate, but rapid division can be stimulated
- found in: parenchymal cells of glandular organs, vasc. endothelial cells, fibroblasts, smooth m., osteoblasts, chondroblasts
Permanent cells
- don’t replicate at all or its insignificant
- usually replaced by CT
- found in: nerves, skeletal m., cardiac m.
Injuries in organs mostly made of labile or stable cells are replaced by
Regeneration or regen./CT replacement
If an injury is severe and damages the stroma or basement membrane, then ______ replacement more likely
CT
Repair by CT replacement
1) fibroblastic cells
2) granulation tissue
3) scar formation
24 hrs after injury you see…
Fibroblast and vascular endothelial cell proliferation
3-5 days post-injury, you see…
Granulation tissue
Components of granulation tissue
Fibroblasts and newly formed BV
Angiogenesis/neovascularization
New BV formed from budding of pre-existing BV
4 steps of angiogenesis/neovascularization
- enzymatic degrad. of basement membrane
- endothelial cell migration-> angiogenic stim.
- endothelial cell prolif.
- maturation of endothelial cells & organization-> capillary tubes
T or F: granulation tissue has tight gap junctions
False, they’re leaky and cause the tissue to be edematous
Myofibroblasts
- fibroblasts of granulation tissue
- characteristics: indented nuclei, prominent cytoplasmic fibril bundles, increased contractile proteins
Microscopic features of granulation tissue
- lg. amts of macrophages
- various amts of eosinoph., neutrop., lymph.
