Study Notes
Wound Healing Cascades
- Wound healing involves overlapping, stereotypical events
- Coordinated interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) occur
- Initial steps include bleeding, coagulation, and isolation of the wound from the environment. This stage takes minutes to an hour.
Inflammation
- Inflammation prevents infection and sepsis
- Neutrophils, then macrophages, are involved
- Debridement, the elimination of damaged tissue, begins about a day after injury. Macrophages play a crucial role in this process.
Proliferation and Migration
- Tissue replenishment starts about 3 days after the injury
- Fibroblasts, new capillaries, and parenchymal cells are involved
- This phase helps rebuild the lost tissue.
Epithelialization, Angiogenesis, and Fibroplasia
- Epithelialization is the regeneration of the damaged epithelium
- Angiogenesis supplies the granulation tissue with nutrition
- Fibroplasia involves fibroblast invasion and matrix production. This is crucial for building new tissue.
Remodeling and Contraction
- Remodeling involves the generation and degeneration of the ECM. This stage is essential to build long term strength and stability of the tissue.
- Contraction involves bringing the wound edges closer together.
- Resolution involves restoring the original appearance and function of the tissue.
Maturation
- Collagen type III is initially formed, followed by a transition to stronger collagen type I. The orientation of these collagen fibres becomes more perpendicular over time; this strengthens the repaired tissue.
Basic Steps of Tissue Regeneration
- Tissue damage occurs
- Bacteria may be involved
- The process involves sequential stages including bleeding, coagulation, inflammation, proliferation, epithelialization, angiogenesis, fibroplasia, remodeling, contraction and maturation.
