26
Major Steps in Tissue Repair | Step 1: Inflammation
1. Inflammatory Chemical Release by: a. mast cells --> histamine b. macrophages & injured cells --> others 2. Capillaries dilate & become permeable 3. White blood cells, clotting proteins, antibodies diffuse to injured area 4. Clot forms, “walls off” isolated area 5. Portion exposed to air dries & hardens = scab 6. Excess fluids, destroyed cells, & debris is picked-up by lymph vessels or phagocytized by macrophages
27
Major Steps in Tissue Repair | Step 2: Organization
(It Restores Blood Supply) 1. Granulation tissue replaces blood clot a. capillaries bud to form new network b. fibroblasts produce new collagen c. macrophages digest clot 2. Granulation tissue is destined to become scar tissue
28
Major Steps in Tissue Repair Step 3: Regeneration and Fibrosis
(Effects Permanent Repair) 1. Surface epithelium regenerates 2. Epithelial cells migrate across the granulation tissue below the scab 3. Fibrous tissue beneath matures and contracts...(scar may/may not be seen depending on severity of injury)
29
Regeneration vs. Fibrosis
``` 1. Regeneration Destroyed tissue is replaced with the SAME kind of tissue. 2. Fibrosis Destroyed tissue is replaced with a DIFFERENT kind of tissue. ```
30
Stages of Cell Division
Interphase: replication of DNA & cell parts Mitosis: nuclear division (separation of DNA) Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis: separation of cytoplasm
31
What Causes a Good Cell to Turn into a Cancer Cell?
Mutation: change in DNA
32
What Might Cause a Mutation?
Carcinogens: cancer causing agents radiation, some viruses, chemicals
33
The nucleus
Control center of the cell | Contains genetic material (DNA)
34
Nuclear envelope (membrane)
Barrier of the nucleus Consists of a double membrane Contains nuclear pores that allow for exchange of material with the rest of the cell
35
Nucleoli
Nucleus contains one or more nucleoli Sites of ribosome assembly Ribosomes migrate into the cytoplasm through nuclear pores
36
Chromatin
Composed of DNA and protein Present when the cell is not dividing Scattered throughout the nucleus Condenses to form chromosomes when cell divides
37
vacuole
storage structures for food, water, minerals, waste, in an animal cell
38
DNA Structure
An organic macromolecule that stores information about how to make proteins. composed of polynucleotides -- have a phosphate group, deoxyribose sugar and a nitrogen containing bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) -Has a doubled helix that is formed by hydrogen bonds between polynucleotides -Densely compacted into chromosomes to fit into nucleus
39
RNA Structure
has polynucleotides -- have a phosphate group, ribose sugar and nitrogen containing bases (adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine) - single stranded - moves out of nucleus to perform protein synthesis

41
Male Cancer Deaths All Ages
1. Lung 2. Prostate 3. Colon & Rectum 4. Pancreas 5. Leukemia
42
Types of Tissue That Regenerate Well, Poorly...
1. Epithelial: regenerates very well 2. Bone and Most Fibrous Connective: regenerate well 3. Smooth Muscle and Dense Regular Connective: limited regeneration 4. Skeletal Muscle and Cartilage: regenerate poorly 5. Cardiac Muscle and Nervous: not at all
43
Exocytosis
``` Moves materials out of the cell Material is carried in a membranous vesicle Vesicle migrates to plasma membrane Vesicle combines with plasma membrane Material is emptied to the outside ```
44
Endocytosis
Extracellular substances are engulfed by being enclosed in a membranous vescicle
45
Phagocytosis VS. Pinocytosis
Phagocytosis—cell eating Pinocytosis—cell drinking
46
Diffusion
Particles tend to distribute themselves evenly within a solution Movement is from high concentration to low concentration, or down a concentration gradient
47
Osmosis
—simple diffusion of water | Highly polar water molecules easily cross the plasma membrane through aquaporins
48
Facilitated diffusion
Substances require a protein carrier for | passive transport
49
Transports lipid
-insoluble and large substances
50
Filtration
Water and solutes are forced through a membrane by fluid, or hydrostatic pressure A pressure gradient must exist Solute-containing fluid is pushed from a high-pressure area to a lower pressure area
51
Passive transport VS. Active transport
Passive transport- No energy is required | Active transport- Cell must provide metabolic energy (ATP)
52
Isotonic
(used of solutions) having the same or equal osmotic pressure
53
Hypertonic
when comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solutes
54
Hypotonic
(of living tissue) lacking normal tone or tension
55
neuron
are the cells that transmit nerve impulses between parts of the nervous system.
56
fibroblasts
a type of cell that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen
57
macrophages
Large white blood cell that removes bacteria, foreign particles, and dead cells
58
osteocyte
Mature bone cells
59
chondrocyte
Mature cartilage cells
60
goblet
Modified columnar epithelial cells that secrete mucus, a slightly sticky fluid, at their apical surfaces; the cells are shaped like a goblet or wine glass.
61
Lumen
A unit of measure of light or brightness
62
Basement Membrane
Located between most epithelium and deeper connective tissue, such as skin and oral mucosa, and is produced by epithelium and adjoining connective tissue
63
Extracellular Matrix
The non-cellular portion of a tissue produced and secreted by cells and mainly for providing support
64
Vascular
Blood / Blood vessels
65
Avascular
A lack of blood / blood vessels
66
Keratin
A fibrous protein
67
Ground Substance
unstructured, gel-like material that fills the spaces between cells and surrounds connective tissue fibers. Contains interstitial fluid, cell adhesion proteins and proteoglycans.
68
Fibers
Provides support
69
Adipocyte
The storage of fat
70
Hemocytoblast
stem cell from the embryonic mesenchyme and is capable of developing into any type of blood cell.
