Term
Labile Cells
Definition
continue to proliferate throughout life.
Term
Stable cells
Definition
retain the capacity to proliferate, however they do not normally replicate.
Term
Permanent cells
Definition
cannot reproduce themselves. E.g. nerve cells, skeletal and cardiac muscle cells.
Term
Example of Labile Cells
Definition
surface epithelia and blood cells.
Term
Example of Stable Cells
Definition
parenchymal cells of the glandular organs of the body, such as the liver, kidney, pancreas; cells derived from mesenchyme, such as fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, osteoblasts, chondroblasts; vascular endothelial cells.
Term
Example of Permanent Cells
Definition
nerve cells, skeletal and cardiac muscle cells.
Term
Two process associated with repair
Definition
scar generation and regeneration
Term
scar generation
Definition
if the entire tissue is damaged by infection or inflammation then regeneration is incomplete and accompanied by replacement with connective tissue, involves angiogensis, migration, and proliferation of fibroblasts, collagen synthesis and connective tissue remodeling
Term
regeneration
Definition
complete restoration of form and function, can only occur if the residual connective tissue framework is structurally intact.
Term
formation of granulation tissue
Definition
New granulation tissue is often edematous because the new blood vessels have leaky interendothelial junctions.
Term
Primary Union
Definition
healing by first intention, incision causes only a focal disruption of epithelial basement membrane continuity and death of a few connective and epithelial cells. Regeneration is the principle mechanism of repir
Term
example of Primary union
Definition
- healing of a clean wound, such as a surgical incision, with little scar tissue.
Term
Secondary union
Definition
healing by second intention, when cell loss if more extensive, involves combination of regeneration and scarring
Term
Example of secondary union
Definition
healing of a large tissue defect with much scar tissue. [ie: "healing from the bottom up" - waiting for granulationand all other tossie to reform]
Term
Keloids
Definition
accumulation of exuberant amounts of collagen can give rise to prominent, raised scars
Term
Exuberant granulation tissue
Definition
generated by healing wounds, protrudes above the level of the surrounding skin and hinders re-epilthelialization
Term
resolution
Definition
restoration of the site of acute inflammation to normal, digestion and reabsorbtion of exudate from injury to tissue space
Term
Age and inflammation/reparative response
Definition
poor perfusion due to obstructed venous drainage impairs healing
Term
nutritional status and inflammation/reparative response
Definition
protein deficiencies (vitamin C) inhibit collagen synthesis and retard healing
Term
general health status (infection) and inflammation/reparative response
Definition
infection delays healing, it prolongs inflammation and potentially increases local tissue injury
Term
steroids and inflammation/reparative response
Definition
anti-inflammatory effects, administration may result in weakness of the the scar due to inhibition of TGF-beta production and diminished fibrosis.
Term
corticosteroids and inflammation/reparative response
Definition
anti-inflammatory effects are diserable in that they reduce the likigood of opacity that could result from collagen deposits in corneal infections
Term
foreign bodies and inflammation/reparative response
Definition
fragments of steel, glass or bone impede healing
Term
example of resoltution
Definition
repair to tissue space
Term
locations of injury and inflammation/reparative response
Definition
different healing mechanisms required fro different tissues
Term
A 19-year-old man incurs a stab wound to the chest. The wound is treated in the emergency room. Two months later there is a firm, 3 x 2 cm nodular mass with intact overlying epithelium in the region of the wound. On examination the scar is firm, but not tender, with no erythema. This mass is excised and microscopically shows fibroblasts with abundant collagen. Which of the following mechanisms has most likely produced this series of events?
Definition
Hypertrophic scar (keloid) formation

The presence of “granulation tissue” is evidence of
