Repair and Regeneration Flashcards
what’s the two different types of inflammation?
acute and chronic
what are the physiological changes to the cells after a repair?
scar formation
loss of function
cells cannot regrow
what are the physiological changes to the cell after a regeneration?
cells can regrow
restoration of the normal structure and function
what are the two most important factors in determining the outcome of injury?
the ability of the cells to replicate
the ability to rebuild complex architectural structures.
what are the stages of the cell cycle?
G1,
S,
G2,
M,
what are the characteristics of labile cell populations
High normal turnover
active stem cell population
excellent regenerative capacity
give an example of a labile cell population?
epithelia
what are the characteristics of stable cell populations?
low physiological turnover
turnover can massively increase if needed
good regenerative capacity
what is another name for stable cell populations
Quiescent
what is examples of quiescent cell populations?
liver, renal tubules
what are the characteristics of permanent cell populations?
No physiological turnover
long life cells
no regenerative capacity
give an example of a type of cells that have no regenerative capacity?
neurons
striated muscle cells
what type of replication do stem cells undergo?
asymmetric replication
where are stem cell pools present?
labile and stable cell populations
why is the survival of stem cells important and how can the survival be threatened?
CRUCIAL to regeneration
its vulnerable to radiation injury
what type of cell population are hepatocytes?
stable
how is regeneration of cells controlled?
contact inhibition
growth factors
cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions
explain the mechanism in which a minor skin abrasion that has is lost epidermis is regenerated?
cells at margins proliferate and spread out as a thin sheet across the dermis
once defect is covered, the stimulus for them to proliferate and mover is switched off via - contact inhibition.
Epidermis then grows from the base upwards
