PATHOLOGY Flashcards
Define healing and repair
Healing is when tissue damage resolves with minimal or no residual damage (eg skin abrasion). (no tissue loss - healing by first intention(
Repair is when there is tissue loss and organisation has to happen to fill in the gap of the lost tissue - healing by second intention. After repair there is regeneration of liable cells (eg hepatocytes etc) but architecture cannot be regenerated.
What is granulation tissue
Loops of capillaries and myofibroblasts (secrete collagen + matrix)
Part of organisation, which is a repair process when there is tissue loss
What tissues cannot regenerate
Cardiac and smooth muscle cannot regenerate
Skeletal muscle has some regeneration but not much
Neurons
What is RAS
onco-gene - regulates cell proliferation
What is APC associated with
Familial adenomatous polyposis
