Study Notes
Cells and Regeneration
- The body's cells are divided into three groups based on their regenerative capacity.
-
Labile cells continuously proliferate throughout life, replacing aging cells. This group includes:
- Surface epithelium like stratified squamous epithelium of the skin, columnar epithelium of the alimentary tract, and transitional epithelium of the urinary tract.
- Haemopoietic and lymphoid tissues.
-
Stable cells do not proliferate under normal conditions but can proliferate when needed. This group includes:
- Parenchymatous stable cells like those in the liver and pancreas.
- Mesenchymal stable cells like fibroblasts and chondroblasts.
- Stable cells can regenerate with small damage, but extensive damage leads to repair with fibrosis.
- Permanent cells cannot proliferate at all, such as muscle cells and nerve cells.
Stable Cells: Parenchymatous vs. Mesenchymal
- Stable cells are further divided into parenchymatous and mesenchymal cells.
- Parenchymatous stable cells are found in organs like the liver and kidney.
- Mesenchymal stable cells include fibroblasts and chondroblasts.
Healing by Fibrosis
- Healing by fibrosis is a process of tissue repair involving the formation of fibrous connective tissue (scar).
Wound Healing
- Wound healing is a complex process involving multiple stages.
Complications
- Complications can arise during wound healing.
Factors Controlling Repair
- Several factors contribute to the success of tissue repair.
