Repair, Regeneration, and Fibrosis (part 2) Flashcards
what is the very first thing that happens in the healing process?
how long does it take?
formation of fibrin clot
0-4 hours
inflammatory cell migration occurs from days ___ to ___ of wound healing
how are the cells migrating to the site of infection? what kind of cells migrate?
days 2-4
migrate through chemoattractants like fibronectin, chemokines, cell debris, bacterial products
many cells are recruited – macrophages, fibroblasts, etc
explain how a fibrin clot is formed (1st step of wound healing)
fibronectin binds fibrin, collagen, etc. fibrin strands are crosslinked by the action of TRANSGLUTAMINASE (factor 12)
transglutaminase is ___ derived
plasma
what is happening within 1-3 days of wound healing
what is the function?
recruitment of macrpohages
clean and remove debris and pathogens through phagocytosis of oposonized debris and cells
how are new collage fibers formed?
fibroblasts deposit new ECM rich in collagen TYPE 3 which is a good railroad for newcoming cells
formation of fibrin clot is the first step of wound healing
how and when is it removed
removed during the formation of collagen fibers by proteolysis and phagocytosis
what is the temprary matrix composed of? is it made before or after the formation of collagen fibers?
after the formation of collagen fibers
made of proteoglycans, fibers rich in type 3 collagen
______ receptors aid in the assembly of fibronectin complexes
integrin
explain what is happening in the final phase of the repair reaction
m1 macrophages are now m2
lasts 5 days-weeks
fibroblasts produce type 1 collagen (stiffer and thicker) to replace type 3 leading to a stronger matrix
what cells are producing type 1 collagen to replace with type 3
fibroblasts
_________ are very important in wound healing and inflammation
macrophages
differentiate between m1 macrophages and m2 macrophages
m1 are proinflammatory and present in the early stages of wound healing. they perform phagocytosis, release chemokines and growth factors
m2 are anti inflammatory and are present during wound healing. they recruit fibroblasts to create type 1 collagen and replace with type 3
what are the 2 major components of granulation tissue
stromal cells
proliferating capillaries
microscopically, granulation tissue is formed by what 3 things
fibroblasts
leukocytes (macrophgaes)
new capillaires
granulation tissue is a ____, specialized tissue that replaces what?
transient, specialized tissue that replaces the PROVISIONAL MATRIX
explain the process of angiogenesis in granulation tissue after an injury
endothelial cells form extensions called PSEUDOPODIA that grow toward the wound site. cytoplasmic flow enlarges and it eventually divides to form new cell.
vacuoles formed in these daughter cells fuse to form the lumen.
pericytes surround and stabilize
true or false
at its peak, granulation tissue is the most richly vascularized tissue in the body
TRUE
Once repair has been achieved, what happens to most of the newly formed capillaries in the granulation tissue
they undergo apoptosis and leave behind a pale, avascular scar – rich in collagen
what are the 4 main categories of anchoring junctions in animal cells
adherens (cadherins)
desmosomes (cadherins)
hemidesmosomes (integrins)
focal adhesions (integrins)
