Study Notes
Inflammation and Wound Healing
- The main purpose of inflammation in vascularized tissues is to protect the body from injury or infection.
- Infection, injury, and immune response are all causes of inflammation.
- Chronic inflammation typically results from bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections.
- The main process underlying wound healing is the restoration of tissue integrity and function.
- The proliferative phase of wound healing involves the replacement of destroyed or damaged tissue by newly produced tissue.
- Chronic inflammation is characterized by the presence of macrophages, lymphocytes, and fibrosis.
- Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by symmetrical joint involvement and positive rheumatoid factor.
- Redness in inflammation is caused by increased blood flow and vasodilation.
- The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a blood test associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
- Acute inflammation is characterized by the presence of neutrophils, edema, and pain.
- The contraction phase of haemostasis is produced by vascular smooth muscle cells controlled by the vascular epithelium.
- Swelling in inflammation is caused by increased permeability of blood vessels and fluid leak.
- Pain in inflammation is caused by the release of pain mediators, such as bradykinin and prostaglandins.
- Asthma is characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness, obstruction, and mucus hyper-production.
- The platelet plug formation during haemostasis is characterized by the formation of a platelet aggregate.
- Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process characterized by the transition from epithelial to mesenchymal tissue.
- Factors that can delay wound healing include age, diabetes, and nutrition.
- The main process underlying wound healing that involves the formation of a fibrin 'mesh' from inactive fibrinogen plasma protein is coagulation.
- Platelet-derived growth factors play a role in wound healing by promoting cell proliferation and differentiation.
- Medications such as pulmonary rehabilitation and bronchodilators can help slow the progression of cystic fibrosis.
- The main purpose of haemostasis in the context of wound healing is to stop bleeding and promote blood clotting.
- Diabetes is not a factor linked to chronic wounds.
- The main role of fibroblasts in wound healing is to produce collagen and promote tissue repair.
- Insufficient fibrosis in wound healing can lead to weakened tissue and impaired wound strength.
- Excessive contraction in wound healing can lead to scarring and tissue deformity.
- Excessive fibrosis in wound healing can lead to tissue stiffness and impaired function.
- Chronic diabetic hyperglycemia can lead to impaired wound healing and increased risk of infection.
- Fibrosis is the term that describes the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ or tissue, typically occurring after severe or persistent tissue injury.
- Fibrosis typically occurs in an organ or tissue under circumstances of severe or persistent tissue injury.
- Fibrosis is considered a necessary process in certain situations, such as in the repair of tissue injuries.
