Wound healing Flashcards
what are the three tissue responses to injury?
-regeneration
-repair
-chronic inflammation
what is wound healing dependent on?
-capacity of tissue to regenerate
-type of wound and the degree of damage
what are the 6 types of wound?
-abrasion
-avulsion
-incision
-laceration
-puncture
-amputation
what are the three types of cells in terms of their renewal
-liable: constant cell renewal
-stable: slow renewal
-permenant: post mitotic
what are the two major components that undergo repair?
cells and the extracellular matrix
what does the extracellular matrix consist of?
-collagen
-basement membrane
-glycoproteins
-proteoglycans
-elastin
what are the steps of healing?
- haemostasis
2.inflammation - demolition
- proliferation
- maturation
what are the steps of haemostasis?
- reaction to injury
- truggeres platelet aggregation and activation of coagulation cascade
- haemostatic plug/ clot
what is the aims of inflammation?
-trigger phagocytosis
-to trigger plasma proteins and cause clotting factors, complement components and kininogens
-isolate, des
what are the steps leading up to inflammation?
- vasodilation and increased vascular permeability of the blood vessels
- plasma proteins of fibrinogen and fibronectin are released
- phagocytes are released
what are the symptoms of inflammation?
-rubor/ redness
-calor/ heat
-tumor/ swelling
-dolor/ pain
what cells are triggered in inflammation?
-neutrophils
-macrophages
-lymphocytes
-plasma proteins
what chemicals are triggered in haemostasis?
-platelets
-fibrin
-fibronectin
-transglutaminases
what cells are triggered in demolition
-mainly macrophages
-collagenases
what processes are triggered in proliferation?
-granulation
-anglogenisis
-extracellular matrix synthesis
-wound contraction
-epithelial proliferation
what processes are triggered in maturation?
-collagen cross linking
-remodelling
-capillary resorption
