quiz 2 Flashcards
occurs during wound healing, which is the process by which the skin or any injured organ restores itself after an injury.
TISSUE REPAIR
prevent further damage, clean and seal the wound to prevent infection, and restore tissue strength and function if possible.
TISSUE REPAIR
Two Mechanisms of Tissue Repair
Fibrosis
Regeneration
damaged tissue is replaced by
the same type of cells. The new tissue completely restores the damaged area to its normal state.
Regeneration
damaged tissue is replaced with
dense fibrous connective tissue or scar tissue. This can interfere with or inhibit the normal function and architecture of the underlying organ or tissue. Examples include fibrosis in the lungs, liver, brain, and heart.
Fibrosis
FACTORS INFLUENCING REPAIR (2)
- type of tissue
- severity of injury
Caridaic tissues and nervous tissues in the brain and spinal cord are Non-Regenerative Tissues

true
EVENTS OF TISSUE REPAIR (3)
● Inflammation
● Granulation tissue forms
● Surface epithelium regenerates
OBJECTIVE : Prevent further injury.
■ Damaged cells release inflammatory chemicals, increasing capillary permeability
■ White blood cells (WBCs) and clotting proteins seep into the injured area.
■ Platelets migrate to form a fibrin clot, which seals the wound and prevent blood loss
■ Immune cells (neutrophils and macrophages) accumulate to remove debris and bacteria
■ Symptoms include swelling,redness, pain, and heat
INFLAMMATION
Objective: Supply cells and nutrients
for remodeling.
Process:
■ New blood vessels form around the wound, creating granulation tissue—delicate pink tissue with new capillaries.
■ Connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) produce collagen fibers and extracellular matrix.
■ Granulation tissue facilitates wound closure as fibroblasts synthesize collagen.
■ Myofibroblasts pull the wound edges together.
Granulation tissue forms
Objective: Regenerate surface epithelium and finalize wound
closure.
Process:
■ The surface epithelium regenerates, thickens, and makes its way between granulation tissue and the scab.
■ The scab eventually detaches, leaving behind a scar.
■ The fibrous tissue matures to form a scar, which may be visible or invisible depending on the severity of the wound.
■ During remodeling, the new tissue matures to more closely resemble the surrounding mature tissue.

→ Repair of superficial wounds or clean surgical incisions approximated by surgical supports. Involves inflammation, granulation, and maturation stages.

→ Autoimmune disorder
→ Rapid skin cell production,
resulting in red lesions covered with dry, silvery scales; triggered by trauma, infection, hormonal changes, or stress
