tissue healing & repair Flashcards
gurlllll
fibronectin:
protein that provides structural support, scaffolding, has ability to glue substances together, tensile strength
list the components of tissue healing
- fibronectin
- proteoglycans
- elastin
- collagen
proteoglycans
what are they composed from
secreted by?
– composed of carbohydrates and sugars
– provide stability and retain water for tissue for being repaired
– secreted by fibroblasts
elastin
who are they secreted by?
function?
secreted by fibroblasts
function: becomes cross-linked to provide tissues with elasticity
collagen
function
provide structural support and tensile strength
collagen type 1
most common and versatile
*predominant in strong tissue like tissues and bones *TENSILE STRENGTH
collagen type 2
what is their half life?
thin supporting filaments found in cartilage and epiphyseal plates
half life: 3 months
collagen type 3
thin filaments found in fresh scars
–essential in wound healing, common in newborns **elastic
collagen type 4
found in fetus, basement membranes
what tissues have decreased blood supply>
- ligaments and tendons
- cartilage
define GROWTH FACTORS
GFs are produced by?
proteins that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration
- produced by cells involved in the same tissue repair response
sources of GROWTH FACTORS
platelets, fibroblasts, macrophages, endothelial cells
function of platelet-derived growth factors
speeds up healing process
the signals that turn on proliferation of normal cells and cause tissue healing ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE for proliferation of…
cancer cells
phases of healing
- hemostasis and degeneration
- inflammation
- proliferation and migration
- remodeling and maturation
