CHAPTER 4CELL PROLIFERATION, TISSUE REGENERATION AND REPAIR

PRE LECTURE QUIZ TRUE/FALSE

1. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the capacity to generate multiple cell types.

2. DNA synthesis takes place during the G0 phase of the cell cycle.

3. The inflammatory phase of wound healing prepares the wound environment for the healing process.

4. The formation of granulation tissue involves the creation of new capillaries.

5. A large surface wound is likely to heal by the process of primary intention.

1. _____________ tissues contain cells that normally stop dividing when growth ceases.

2. The extracellular _____________ is secreted locally and assembles into a network of spaces surrounding tissue cells during the process of tissue regeneration.

3. When regeneration cannot occur, healing by replacement with a connective tissue occurs, a process that terminates in ______________ formation.

4. The term _____________ factor is generally applied to small hormonelike proteins that increase cell size and cell division.

5. An abnormality in healing by scar tissue repair is the formation of _____________, which are benign tumorlike masses caused by excess production of scar tissue.

CELL PROLIFERATION AND TISSUE REGENERATION

Parenchymal tissue

Stromal tissue

-The working part

- The binding part

CELL PROLIFERATION VERSUS DIFFERENTIATION

Cell proliferation-process of increasing cell numbers by mitotic division

Cell Differentiation-process whereby a cell becomes more specialized in terms of structure and function

THE CELL CYCLE

4 distinct phases

PROLIFERATIVE CAPACITY OF TISSUES Varies with tissue and cell type3 divisions of body tissues:a. Continuously doublingb. Stablec. Permanent tissues

STEM CELLS

Incompletely differentiated throughout life

3 Properties:a. Self-renewalb. Asymmetric replicationc. Differential potential

(potency)

INFLUENCE OF GROWTH FACTORS

Small hormonelike proteins that increase cell size and cell division

PDGF, FGF, TGF, and EGF

EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX AND CELL-MATRIX INTERACTIONS

ECM is secreted locally and assembles a network of spaces surrounding tissue cells

Components of ECM:a. Fibrous structural proteinsb. Water-hydrated gelsc. Adhesive glycoproteins

COMPONENTS OF THE ECM

HEALING BY CONNECTIVE TISSUE REPAIR

PHASES OF REPAIR Angiogenesis and ingrowth of

granulation tissue Emigration of fibroblasts and deposition

of extracellur matrix Maturation and reorganization of the

fibrous tissue (remodeling)Usually begins within 24 hours of injury;

evidenced by the migration of fibroblasts and the induction of fibroblast and epithelial cell proliferation

ANGIOGENESIS AND INGROWTH OF GRANULATION TISSUE

MATURATION AND REMODELING OF THE FIBROUS TISSUE

CUTANEOUS WOUND HEALING

The transition from granulation to scar tissue shifts in the modification and remodeling of the ECM

HEALING BY PRIMARY AND SECONDARY INTENTION

Primary intention –sutured surgical incision

Secondary intention- larger wounds which have a greater loss of tissue and contamination

PHASES OF HEALING

Inflammatory Phase Proliferative Phase Maturational or Remodeling

KELOIDS

FACTORS THAT AFFECT WOUND HEALING

Nutritional Status

Blood Flow and Oxygen Delivery

Age

NUTRITIONAL STATUS

Local and systemic factors influence wound healing

Vitamin C and A play an essential role in the healing process

Vitamin C is needed for collagen synthesis

Vitamin A functions in stimulating and supporting epitheilial

BLOOD FLOW AND OXYGEN DELIVERY For healing to occur, wounds must have

adequate blood flow to supply the necessary nutriients and to remove waste, local toxins, bacteria and other debris.

WOUND HEALING IN THE ELDERLY

Age-related changes:A decrease in dermal thicknessA decline in collagen contentLoss of elasticity Elderly are more vulnerable to chronic

wounds, such as pressure, diabetic, and ischemic ulcers as compared to younger persons
