Trigger 6: Wound Healing Flashcards
tissue repair definition
the regeneration of damage tissue by parenchymal cells of the same type or replacement by connective tissue (scar)
parenchymal cells
the functional parts of an organ
connective tissue is
scaring
causes of damage
trauma, infection, physical or chemical agents tissue necrosis, immune reactions
immune reactions e.g.
hypersensitivity reaction - asthma or anaphylaxis
what are the four phase of tissue repair (in order)
- Haemostasis
- Inflammation
- Proliferation
- Remodelling
- Haemostasis
platelet aggregation and clotting which leads to the release of pro-infllamtory mediated
when does haemostats occur
within hours of damage
platelets during haemostats causes
a fibrin plug to form- prevent bleeding
platelets recruit
inflammatory cells using cytokines and growth factor
what occurs after haemostasis
inflammation
- Inflammation causes
diapedesis
diapedesis
the passage of white blood cells through the intact walls of the lung capillaries, typically accompanying inflammation.
inflammation occurs within
hours
role of inflammation
recruitment of neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages
- wound debridement
wound debridement
removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue to improve the healing potential of the remaining healthy tissue.
