Unit 4 Flashcards
Homeostasis
-state of equilibrium that is dynamic and maintained by adaptation
compensation
-regulatory processes that attempt yo bring the body back to homeostasis
Decompensation
-deterioration in function due to failiture of regaltory mechanisms
-asses in one system –muilitple organs- can cause death
-relate to GAS
Call Injury
- Lethal cell injury: kills cells
- Sub-lethal cell injury: alters cell function (reversible)
Cell adaptation
Sub-Lethal injury is common to physiology processes
- hypertrophy
- hyperplasia
- atrophy
- metaplasia
What causes Lethal Cell injury?
- Destruction of cell nucleus
- disruption of cell metabolism
- rupture of the cell membrane
How does the body protect itself?
- skin and mucous membrane
- mononuclear phagocytes system
- inflammatory response
- immune response
Inflammation
-Generalized, immediate and local
Purpose:
1. destroy harmful agents
2. limit spread
3. prepare tissue for repair
Side:
-not specific to tissue type
-cause harm to tissues
-chronic inflammation is linked with cancer
-inflammation cause scar tissue
-Scar tissue cause adhesions
Inflammation signs
- Redness
- Heat
- Swelling
- Pain
- Loss of function?
Actue Inflmamation
wound healing
Helaing process
- Regeneration: replacement of lost cells and tissue with cells of the same types
- Repair: lost cells replaced by connective tissue, resulting in a scar
Primary intention
-wound margins are neat
-includes inflammatory (1st) phase, proliferative (granulation) and maturation phase and scare contraction
3 Phases of wound helaing
- inflammatory phase/initial
- Proliferative phase. granulation
- maturation/remodelling phase
