Tissues Respond to Injuries To maintain homeostasis Cells restore homeostasis with two processes Inflammation Regeneration

142 4-10 Tissue Injuries and Repair
Inflammation = Inflammatory Response The tissue’s first response to injury Signs and symptoms of the inflammatory response include: Swelling Redness Heat Pain

143 4-10 Tissue Injuries and Repair
Inflammatory Response Can be triggered by: Trauma (physical injury) Infection (the presence of harmful pathogens)

144 4-10 Tissue Injuries and Repair
The Process of Inflammation Damaged cells release chemical signals into the surrounding interstitial fluid Prostaglandins Proteins Potassium ions

145 4-10 Tissue Injuries and Repair
The Process of Inflammation As cells break down: Lysosomes release enzymes that destroy the injured cell and attack surrounding tissues Tissue destruction is called necrosis

146 4-10 Tissue Injuries and Repair
The Process of Inflammation Necrotic tissues and cellular debris (pus) accumulate in the wound Abscess – pus trapped in an enclosed area Injury stimulates mast cells to release: Histamine Heparin Prostaglandins

147 4-10 Tissue Injuries and Repair
The Process of Inflammation Dilation of blood vessels Increases blood circulation in the area Causes warmth and redness Brings more nutrients and oxygen to the area Removes wastes

148 4-10 Tissue Injuries and Repair
The Process of Inflammation Plasma diffuses into the area Causes swelling and pain Phagocytic white blood cells Clean up the area

149 4-10 Tissue Injuries and Repair
Regeneration When the injury or infection is cleaned up Healing (regeneration) begins The Process of Regeneration Fibrocytes move into necrotic area Lay down collagen fibers To bind the area together (scar tissue)

150 4-10 Tissue Injuries and Repair
The Process of Regeneration New cells migrate into area Or are produced by mesenchymal stem cells Not all tissues can regenerate Epithelia and connective tissues regenerate well Cardiac cells and neurons do not regenerate (or regenerate poorly)

151 Mast Cell Activation Exposure to Pathogens and Toxins Mast cell
Figure Tissue Repair Mast Cell Activation When an injury damages connective tissue, mast cells release a variety of chemicals. This process, called mast cell activation, stimulates inflammation. Mast cell stimulates Exposure to Pathogens and Toxins Injured tissue contains an abnormal concentration of pathogens, toxins, waste products, and the chemicals from injured cells. When a tissue is injured, a general defense mechanism is activated. 151

152 INFLAMMATION Mast Cell Activation Increased Blood Flow
Figure Tissue Repair Mast Cell Activation When an injury damages connective tissue, mast cells release a variety of chemicals. This process, called mast cell activation, stimulates inflammation. Mast cell Histamine Heparin Prostaglandins INFLAMMATION Inflammation produces several familiar indications of injury, including swelling, redness, warmth, and pain. Inflammation may also result from the presence of pathogens, such as harmful bacteria, within the tissues; the presence of these pathogens constitutes an infection. Increased Blood Flow Increased Vessel Permeability Pain In response to the released chemicals, blood vessels dilate, increasing blood flow through the damaged tissue. Vessel dilation is accompanied by an increase in the permeability of the capillary walls. Plasma now diffuses into the injured tissue, so the area becomes swollen. The abnormal conditions within the tissue and the chemicals released by mast cells stimulate nerve endings that produce the sensation of pain. PAIN 152

153 Inflammation Subsides
Figure Tissue Repair Increased Local Temperature Increased Oxygen and Nutrients Increased Phagocytosis Removal of Toxins and Wastes The increased blood flow and permeability causes the tissue to become warm and red. Vessel dilation, increased blood flow, and increased vessel permeability result in enhanced delivery of oxygen and nutrients. Phagocytes in the tissue are activated, and they begin engulfing tissue debris and pathogens. Enhanced circulation carries away toxins and waste products, distributing them to the kidneys for excretion, or to the liver for inactivation. O2 Toxins and wastes Regeneration Regeneration is the repair that occurs after the damaged tissue has been stabilized and the inflammation has subsided. Fibroblasts move into the area, laying down a collagenous framework known as scar tissue. Over time, scar tissue is usually “remodeled” and gradually assumes a more normal appearance. Inflammation Subsides Over a period of hours to days, the cleanup process generally succeeds in eliminating the inflammatory stimuli. 153

154 Normal tissue conditions restored

155 4-11 Aging and Tissue Aging and Tissue Structure
Speed and efficiency of tissue repair decrease with age, due to: Slower rate of energy consumption (metabolism) Hormonal alterations Reduced physical activity

156 4-11 Aging and Tissue Effects of Aging
Chemical and structural tissue changes Thinning epithelia and connective tissues Increased bruising and bone brittleness Joint pain and broken bones Cardiovascular disease Mental deterioration

157 4-11 Aging and Tissue Aging and Cancer Incidence
Cancer rates increase with age 25% of all people in the United States develop cancer Cancer is the #2 cause of death in the United States Environmental chemicals and cigarette smoke cause cancer
