Q

why vasodilation occurs

A

: Increased hydrostatic pressure (pressure inside the vessel pushing out) causes a decrease of blood flow rate  margination of leukocytes along the blood vessel walls

39
Q

chemoattraction/chemotaxis stage of inflammation

A

Circulating leukocytes bind to adhesion molecules with moderate affinity

41
Q

Release of chemokine by macrophages to transition moderate affinity to high affinity bonding to endothelial cells

41
Q

Full thickness opening of walls of adjacent organs, vessels, ducts due to the inflammatory process
Communication between the two structures

64
Q

scar formation

A

Disorganized connective tissue»healing and repair
Loss of parenchyma

65
Q

requirement for scar formation

A

Loss of basement membrane = loss of regenerative tissue, loss of resoluti
can lead to loss of function

66

2-5 days post wounding, starts
as early as 24 hours
perforating fibroblasts
wound progressing from inflammatory phase to proliferative phase of healing

66

manual therapy, concentric/eccentric strengthening to promote organization
scar tissue = descres function and increased injury risk

67

A

complete regeneration of tissue
-involves restitution of tissue identical to that lost by injury

68
Q

repair/healing

A

regeneration combined with scaring and fibrosis
- fibro-proliferative response that ‘patches’ a tissue defect by laying down connective tissue; fibrosis and scar formation

69
Q

partial regeneration or repair

A

Replacement of damaged or lost tissue with fibrosis tissue

70
Q

complete regeneration

A

Process of renewal, restoration, and growth of parenchyma cells
New tissue is the same as the lost or damaged tissue no scar formation
Requires cells that can divide
Requires an intact basement membrane
Requires an intact connective tissue scaffolding

71

timeline of repair and granulation tissue

A

within 24 hrs to 10 days

72
Q

process of repair

A

Fibroblast and vascular endothelial cells begin to proliferate to form granulation tissue pink, soft, and granular

Angiogenesis  Formation of new blood vessels: granulation tissue lays down a new capillary bed  new vessels are leaky allowing protein and RBC passage
