Chronic Inflammation 4 Flashcards
(40 cards)
__________: refers to the restoration of tissue architecture and function after an injury.
Repair
Rapier occur by two reaction:
- Regeneration
- Scar formation
tissues are able to replace the damaged components and essentially return to a normal state; this process is called
Regeneration
If the injured tissues are incapable of complete restitution, or if the supporting structures of the tissue are severely damaged, repair occurs by laying down of connective (fibrous) tissue, a process termed healing that results in
Scar formation
The term ___________ is most often used to describe the extensive deposition of collagen that occurs in the lungs, liver, kidney, and other organs as a consequence of chronic inflammation.
fibrosis
fibrous scar is not normal, it provides enough structural ________ that the injured tissue.
stability
If fibrosis develops in a tissue space occupied by an inflammatory exudate it is called _________ (as in organizing pneumonia affecting the lung).
organization
Several cell types proliferate during tissue repair. These include:
- Remnant of injury tissue
- Vascular endothelial cell to provide nutrients for repair process
- Fibroblast - source of fibrous connective tissues that form scar to fill defect
he proliferation of these cell types is driven by proteins that are collectively called _______
Growth factor
normal size of cell populations is determined by a balance of:
- cell proliferation
- death by apoptosis
- differentiation cell from stem cell
Repair involves the proliferation of various cells, and close interactions between cells and the _____________.
extracellular matrix (ECM)
The key processes in the proliferation of cells are _________ and _________.
DNA replication , mitosis
The sequence of events that control these two processes is known as the
Cell cycle
The cycle consists of:
The presynthetic growth phase 1 (G1).
The DNA synthesis phase (S).
The premitotic growth phase 2 (G2).
The mitotic phase (M).
Non-dividing cells are either in cell cycle arrest in _____ or they exit the cycle to enter a phase called _____.
G1 , G0
Further progression is determined by the ability of the cell to traverse an intrinsic quality control mechanism for cell integrity, known as ___________.
checkpoint control
Progression through the cell cycle from G1 is regulated by proteins called ________, which form complexes with enzymes
called _________________
Cyclins , cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs).
The ability of tissues to repair themselves is critically influenced by their ______________.
intrinsic proliferative capacity
the tissues of the body are divided into three groups:
- Continuously dividing tissues.
- Stable tissues.
- Permanent tissues.
- Continuously Dividing Tissues:
Cells of these tissues (also known as labile tissues) are continuously being lost and replaced by maturation from stem
cells and by proliferation of mature cells.
Labile cells include:
- Hematopoietic cell ( bone marrow)
- Surface epithelial ( stratified squamous surfaces of the skin, oral cavity, vagina, and cervix)
- Cuboidal epithelial ( salivary glands, pancreas, biliary tract )
- Columnar epithelial ( gastrointestinal tract, uterus, and fallopian tubes )
- Transitional epithelial ( urinary tract )
- Stable tissue
Cells of these tissues are quiescent (in the G0 stage of the cell cycle) and have only minimal replicative activity in their normal state.
Stable cells constitute the parenchyma of most solid tissues, such as ________, _______, and ________.
liver, kidney, and pancreas, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells.
- these cells are capable of proliferating in response to injury or loss of tissue mass
With the exception of _______, stable tissues have a limited capacity to regenerate after injury.
liver
