tissue repair Flashcards

1
Q

2 ways of restoration of tissue architecture and function after an injury:

A
  1. Regeneration
    Proliferation of residual (uninjured) cells
    Maturation of tissue stem cells
    Returns to normal state
  2. Repair
    When injured tissues incapable of complete restitution, or supporting structures severely damaged
    Laying down connective fibrous tissue
    May result in scar formation
    Although the fibrous scar is not normal, it provides enough structural stability that the injured tissue is usually able to function

Q

Regeneration is:

A

Replacement of damaged tissue with native tissue
1. Labile tissues

Stable tissues

  1. Quiescent cells (G0), but can re-enter cell cycle to regenerate cells when necessary
    slower, but still regenerating

Q

Remodeling of connective tissue

A

Myofibroblasts contract scar
dependent on metal ions (zinc) for activity
need Zinc for metalloproteinases to work: otherwise results in weak connective tissue

Q

Repair by Scar: Mechanism

A
  1. Injury induces inflammation, which clears dead cells and microbes (if any)
  2. Formation of vascularized granulation tissue
    Fibroblasts deposit collagen III
    Capillaries provide nutrients
    Myofibroblasts to help contract wound
  3. Scar deposition of extracellular matrix
    Collagenase replaces collagen III with collagen I
    Requires zinc as a co-factor

Type I collagen has high tensile strength and is present in skin, bone, tendons, and most organs

Q

Fibrosis =

A

=excessive deposition of collagen in internal organs

Heart: fibrosis compromises function

Pathologic process induced by persistent injurious stimuli such as chronic infections and immunologic reactions

Q

excessive deposition of collagen in internal organs
Pathologic process induced by persistent injurious stimuli such as chronic infections and immunologic reactions
Typically associated with loss of tissue
May be responsible for substantial organ dysfunction and even organ failure

Q

Excessive formation of the components of the repair process

A

Accumulation of excessive amounts of collagen
Hypertrophic scar = excessive collagen confined to wound → localized raised scar

Keloid = scar tissue grows beyond original wound boundary and does not regress
Characterized by collagen type III
Genetic pre-disposition – more common in African Americans
Classically affects earlobes, face, upper extremities

Exuberant granulation tissue
AKA “Proud Flesh”
Protrudes above the level of the surrounding skin and blocks reepithelialization
Must be removed surgical excision to permit restoration of the continuity of the epithelium

42
Q

what steps happen with thrombus?

A

Propagation (obstruction)
