ANSWER THE ESSAYS AND THE QUESTIONS
Tissue Growth and Repair
Body Defenses at Tissue Level
- Physical Barriers
- Skin
- Mucous membranes
- Cilia
- Stomach acid
Tissue Injury
- Stimulates inflammatory and immune response
- Healing process begins
Tissue Injury
- Specific
- Attack against invaders (bacteria, toxins, viruses)
- Nonspecific body response
- Prevent further injury
Inflammation
Immune Response
Tissue Repair
- Regeneration
- Fibrosis
Tissue Repair
- Repair by dense connective tissue
- Formation scar tissue
- Replacement of destroyed tissue
- Same kind of cells
Regeneration
Fibrosis
Regeneration or Fibrosis?
- Depends on
- Type of tissue damaged
- Severity of injury
- Clean cuts heal faster than ragged tears
After Tissue Injury
- capillaries become permeable
- Granulation tissue forms
- Surface epithelium regenerates
Permeable Capillaries
- Allows clotting proteins to reach injured area
- Clot stops blood loss
- Walls off injured area
- Prevents bacteria from spreading to other tissues
- Clot exposed to air forms scab
Granulation Tissue Formation (Underneath the scab)
- Delicate pink tissue
- New capillaries
- Fragile and bleed freely
- Phagocytes
- Dispose of clot of fibroblasts
Surface Epithelium Regeneration
- Across granulation tissue
- Beneath scab
- Cover underlying fibrous tissue (scar tissue)
- Scar invisible or visible
Regeneration Time
- Epithelial tissues (heal very quickly)
- Skin
- Mucous membranes
- Fibrous connective tissues
- Bone
- Skeletal muscle
Fairly Successful
Poor
Replaced by Scar Tissue
Homeostatic Imbalance
- Scar tissue
- Strong
- Lacks flexibility of normal tissues
- Cannot perform normal function of tissue it replaces
- Hinders organ function
Tissue Growth
Aging
- Due to
- Chemical insults
Drugs
CO
- Physical factors
Radiation
- Aging “clock”
Built into genes
Aging and Tissue Changes
- Epithelia
- Become thinner
- More easily damaged
- Skin looses elasticity and sags
- Exocrine glands less active
- Endocrine glands less hormones
Aging and Tissue Changes
- Connective Tissue
- Bones become porous and weaken
- Tissue repair slows
- Muscle Tissue
- Atrophy
- Nervous Tissue
- Atrophy
Other Tissue Changes
- Neoplasm
- Uncontrolled cell division
- Benign or malignant
- Hyperplasia
- Increase in cell numbers
- Enlargement of tissue
- Due to irritant or stimulant
- Atrophy
- Decrease in size
- Loss normal stimulation
