72
Q

the process wherein some issues are able to replace the damaged components and essentially return to a normal state

A

regeneration

73
Q

what tissues can undergo regeneration

A

epithelia of the skin, intestines and liver

74
Q

this occurs when injury are incapable of complete reinstitution

75
Q

regeneration of liver is triggered by _______ and _______ produced in response to loss of liver mass and inflammation

A

cytokines and growth factors

76
Q

what are the two ways regeneration may occur?

A
  1. proliferation by surviving hepatocytes

2. repopulation from progenitor cells (stem cells)

77
Q

scar formation is a response that ______ rather than restores the tissue.

78
Q

this term is most often used in connection to wound healing in the skin

79
Q

this term can be used to describe the replacement of parenchymal cells in any tissue by collagen.

80
Q

steps in repair

A
  1. angiogenesis
  2. formation of granulation tissue
  3. remodeling of connective tissue
81
Q

this refers to the formation of new blood cells which supply nutrients and oxygen needed to support the repair process.

A

angiogenesis

82
Q

this step in repair refers to the migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and deposition of loose connective tissue.

A

formation of granulation tissue

83
Q

this step in repair refers to the maturation and reorganization of the connective tissue to produce the stable fibrous scar.

A

remodeling of connective tissue

84
Q

this process involves both epithelial regeneration and the formation of connective tissue scar

A

skin wound healing

85
Q

this healing refers to when the injury involves only the epithelial layer, and the principal mechanism of repair is epithelial regeneration

A

healing by first intention

86
Q

this healing refers to when cells or tissue loss is more extensive and the repair process involves a combination of regeneration and scarring.

A

healing by second intention

87
Q

steps in healing by second intention

A
  1. the fibrin clot is larger and there is more exudate and necrotic debris in the wounded area.
  2. inflammation is more extensive because large tissue defects have a greater volume of necrotic debris, exudate and fibrin that must be removed.
  3. larger defects require a greater volume of granulation tissue to fill in the gaps and provide underlying framework for the regrowth of the tissue.
  4. wound contraction generally occurs in large surface wounds.
  5. contraction is mediated by a network of myofibroblasts
88
Q

these are modified fibroblasts which exhibit many of the ultrastructural and functional features of contractile smooth muscle cells.

A

myofibroblasts

89
Q

best example of regeneration

90
Q

mediators of acute inflammation

A

vasoactive amines, arachidonic acid metabolite, complement system proteins, kinins, cytokines

91
Q

mediators of chronic inflammation

A

macrophages, lymphocytes, eosinophils, mast cells and neutrophils

92
Q

causes of chronic inflammation

A

persistent infection, autoimmunity, allergy, prolonged exposure to toxic agents
