Tissue Repair Flashcards
Refers to the restoration of tissue architecture and function after an injury
Repair
Tissues can replace the damaged components and essentially return to a normal state
Regeneration
If the injured tissues are incapable of complete restitution
Scar formation
Used to describe the extensive deposition of collagen that occurs in the lungs, liver, kidney and other organs
Fibrosis
Cells of these tissues are continuously being lost and replaced by maturation
Continuously dividing tissues
Cells of these tissues have only minimal replicative activity in their normal state
Stable tissues
The cells of these tissues are terminally differentiated and non proliferative in postnatal life
Permanent tissues
Formation of new blood vessels which supply nutrients and oxygen needed to support the repair process.
Angiogenesis
Forms granulation tissue
Formation of granulation tissue
Maturation and reorganization of the connective tissue
Remodeling of connective tissue
