Module 4 - lecture 6/7 Flashcards
Parenchymal cells
Functional cells of the organ
Stromal cells
Supporting structures of organs
Tissue regeneration
Replacement of injured tissue with cells of the same type and function
Tissue repair
Occurs when extent or nature of damage cannot be reversed by regeneration alone (scar)
Stages of healing after tissue injury
Hemostasis (minutes), Inflammation (hours), Proliferation (days), Remodeling (weeks to months)
Hemostasis (minutes)
Local vasoconstriction and activation of platelets and clotting factors to form a fibrin clot, creates the scaffold for migrating cells
Inflammation (hours)
Driven by platelet derived mediators, bacteria, and secreted chemoattractants
Proliferation (days)
Mediated by macrophage and fibroblast derived growth factors
Remodeling (weeks to months)
transition from type 3 to type 1 collagen restoring tensile strength of tissue
Determinants of regeneration vs repair
Nature of cells injured, extent of injury, presence or absence of ongoing inflammation, underlying disease
Common outcome of various signal transduction pathways of growth factors
change in gene expression
Primary intention
wound closed
Secondary intention
wound left open
tertiary intention
delayed primary closure
Mechanism regulating cell proliferation
Differentiation, population, apoptosis
Epidermal growth factor source
Activated macrophages, keratinocytes
Epidermal growth factor function
Mitogenic for keratinocytes and fibroblasts, simulates keratinocyte migration and granulation tissue formation
