Tissue Renewal and Repair Flashcards
What is parenchyma?
Functional cellular components of the tissue or organ
What is scarring?
Replacement of epithelium/parenchyma with CT
What is the bodies two responses to tissue loss?
Repair by regeneration or scarring
What is fibrosis?
An abnormal deposit of collagen and other ECM in the process of repair
What happens in a deep skin wound?
Stromal cells proliferate and predominate the parenchymal cells
When can regeneration occur?
As long as parenchyma can still proliferate and sufficient stromal tissue can provide support
What can chronic inflammation cause?
Fibrosis due to periodic cell loss
What are the primary inflammatory cells?
Polymorphonucleocytes (neutrophils) macrophages
What is granulation tissue?
Initial phase of stromal repair response highly vascular loose CT
What are three types of tissues?
Labile
Stabile
Permanent
What are labile tissues?
Continuously dividing cells
What are stabile tissues?
Quiescent cells that are in the Go stage and have limited proliferation can be stimulated to enter G1 stage
What are permanent tissues?
Post-mitotic cells
What are the 8 processes of wound healing/repair?
Maintain hemostasis Inflammatory response Proliferation and migration of parenchyma cells Angiogenesis Formation of granulation tissue Connective tissue remodeling Wound contraction Acquisition of increasing wound strength
What is needed for hemostasis?
Fibrinogen->Fibrin (scab/eschar formation)
What is provisional matrix?
Temporary loose CT
Type III collagen
