22
Q

What is fibronectin?

A

2 glycoprotein chains held by disulfide bonds.

23
Q

What binds ECM components and interacts with the cytoskeleton at focal adhesions complexes?

A

Integrin.

24
Q

What induces Angiogenesis from the bone marrow and pre-existing vessels?

A

Mobilization of the Endothelial precursor cells (EPC)

25
Q

EPC’s from the bone marrow migrate to where?

A

Site of injury or tumor growth.

26
Q

What do EPC’s do at sites of injury?

A

They differentiate and form a mature network of vessels.

27
Q

What are MMP’s?

A

Matrix metalloproteinase. They help degrade collagen and other ECM proteins.

28
Q

MMP’s are dependent on what mineral?

A

Zinc.

29
Q

What are the 4 mechanisms of MMP regulation?

A
  1. regulation of synthesis by growth factors or cytokines.
  2. Inhibition of synthsis by corticosteroids or TGF-beta.
  3. secreted in inactive form.
  4. Blockage of the enzymes by specific tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase.
30
Q

The inflammation phase of wound healing lasts how long?

A

3 days.

31
Q

The granulation tissue phase of the healing process takes place when?

A

0.3 days until 10 days.

32
Q

The wound contraction phase of the healing process takes place when?

A

3 days to 30 days.

33
Q

What will clean up an injured site after the healing process?

A

Macrophages.

34
Q

What type of scaring occurs with primary intention healing?

A

Minimal scarring

35
Q

What type of scaring occurs with secondary intention healing?

A

Broader scar result of granulation

36
Q

What type of scaring occurs with tertiary intention healing?

A

Wound is purposely left open

37
Q

What type of injury is primary intention healing?

A

Little tissue loss.

38
Q

Most surgical wounds heal by which intention?

A

Primary intention healing. (wound edges are directly next to each other)

39
Q

How is a primary intention wound is closed?

A

By sutures, staples or adhesive.

40
Q

What is allowed to happen to the wound with secondary intention healing?

A

It is allowed to granulate.

41
Q

Why can the healing process be slower with secondary intention healing?

A

Due to the presence of drainage from infection and surgeons may pack the wound with gauze or use a drainage system.

42
Q

How long will a tertiary intention scar be left open?

A

4-5 days.(where the wound is initially cleaned, debrided and observed before closure)

43
Q

What is Keloid?

A

Excess collagen deposition in the skin forming a raised scar.

44
Q

What does stimulus from chronic inflammation activate?

A

Macrophages and lymphocytes.

45
Q

What do Activated macrohages and lymphocytes in chronic inflammation areas do?

A

Production of growth factors, cytokines.

46
Q

What do Growth factors cytokines in a chronic inflammation areas do?

A

Increased collagen synthesis.

47
Q

What does Increased collagen synthesis in a chronic inflammation areas do?

A

Fibrosis.

48
Q

What do Activated macrophages and lymphocytes in chronic inflammation do to MMP’s?

A

They decrease their activity.

49
Q

What happens in chronic inflammation when MMP’s have decreased activities?

A

IT will decrease the collagen degradation.

50
Q

When collagen is not degraded or is allowed to be synthesised in chronic inflammation what happens?

A

Fibrosis.

51
Q

What happens with an injury when the stimulus that caused the acute injury is removed?

A

Parenchymal cell death.

52
Q

What does Parenchymal cell death with deep wounds leads to?

A

Healing- scar formation organization of exudate.

53
Q

What does Parenchymal cell death within superficial wounds leads to?

A

Regeneration and restitution of normal sturcture

54
Q

What does persistent tissue damage lead to?

A

Fibrosis (tissue scar)
