Q

What is injured tissues that are incapable of regeneration, or supporting structures of the tissue are severely damaged?

A

Scar formation- repair occurs by the laying down of CT–>scar formation

Scar cannot perform the function of lost parenchyma cells, but provides structural stability that the injured tissue is usually able to function

Q

What is extensive deposition of collagen that occurs as a consequence of chronic inflammation or ischemic necrosis (infarction)?

A

Fibrosis- if fibrosis develops in a tissue space occupied by an inflammatory exudate, it is called organization (such as PNA in lung)

Q

What are hematopoietic cells, surface epithelia, and GI tract epithelium?

A

Labile (continuously dividing) tissues

These readily regenerate after injury as long as the pool of stem cells is preserved

Q

Hematopoietic stem cells can be isolated from ____ _____ and peripheral blood after mobilization by administration of certain cytokines such as G-CSF.

A

Bone marrow

Can give rise to all blood cell lineages and continuously replenish the formed elements of the blood

Used for treatment of leukemia and lymphomas

16
Q

These are proteins that stimulate the survival and proliferation of particular cells and may also promote migration, differentiation, and other cellular responses.

A

Growth factors

17
Q

Growth factors induce cell proliferation by binding to specific receptors and affecting the expression of genes whose products typically have what functions?

A
  • Promote entry of cells into the cell cycle

- stimulate the function of growth control genes

18
Q

Signaling may occur directing in the same cell that produces the factor (____ signaling), between adjacent cells (_____ signaling), or over greater distances (______ signaling).

A

Autocrine
Paracrine
Endocrine

19
Q

What is present in the spaces between cells in CT and between epithelium and supportive vascular and smooth muscle structures?

A

Interstitial matrix

Synthesized by mesenchymal cells (fibroblasts)

20
Q

What lies beneath the epithelium and is synthesized by overlying epithelium and underlying mesenchymal cells?

A

Basement membrane

21
Q

Genetic defect in collagen?

A

Ehlers-Danlos

Osteogenesis imperfecta

22
Q

Defect in Elastin?

A

Marfan syndrome - skeletal abnormalities and weak ended aortic walls

23
Q

What are hydrated compressible gels conferring resilience and lubrication?

A

Proteoglycans

24
Q

What are important constituents of the ECM that binds water?

A

Hyaluronan

25
Q

What is involved in cell-to-cell adhesion with linkage of cells to ECM and binding between ECM components?

A

Adhesive glycoproteins and adhesion receptors

-includes fibronectin (interstitial ECM) and laminitin (basement membrane)

26
Q

ECM provides mechanical support for cell _____ and cell ______, and maintenance of cell _____. Control of cell _____ by binding and displaying growth factors. Scaffolding for tissue _____.

A
Anchorage
Migration 
Polarity
Proliferation
Renewal
27
Q

What are the steps in scar formation? (3)

A
  1. Formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis)
  2. Migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and deposition of CT called granulation tissue
  3. Maturation and reorganization of fibrous tissue (remodeling) to produce stable fibrous scar
28
Q

Repair beings within ____ hours of injury by the emigration of ____ and the induction of ____ and endothelial cell proliferation.

A

24
Fibroblasts
Fibroblasts

29
Q

After ___ to ____ days specialized granulation tissue will appear. Scar remodel will occur over time.

A

3 to 5 days

30
Q

What is the most important cause for delay in healing?

A

Infection

31
Q

What are the factors that influence tissue repair? (6)

A
  • infection
  • nutrition
  • glucocorticoids (steroids)
  • mechanical variables (increased local pressure or torsion causing wound to pull apart called dehisce)
  • poor perfusion (arteriosclerosis and diabetes, obstructed venous drainage)
  • foreign bodies (steel, glass, bone)
32
Q

What is an aberration of cell growth where there is accumulation of exuberant amounts of collagen that can give rise to prominent raised scars?

A

Keloid- more common in Africa-Americans

33
Q

Healing wounds may generate exuberant granulation tissue called what?

A

“Proud flesh”- restoration of epithelial continuity requires cautery or surgical resection of the granulation tissue

34
Q

Clean,, uninflected surgical incision approximated by surgical sutures.

A

Healing by first intention

35
Q

Cell or tissue loss is more extensive at sites of abscess formation, ulceration, and ischemic necrosis in parenchymal organs.

A
