  1. 4 Tissue: The Living Fabric: Part B MDufilho

  2. Inflammatory Response • Triggered whenever body tissues injured • Prevents spread of damaging agents • Disposes of cell debris and pathogens • Alerts adaptive immune system • Sets the stage for repair MDufilho

  3. Inflammatory Response • Cardinal signs of acute inflammation: • Redness • Heat • Swelling • Pain (Sometimes 5. Impairment of function) MDufilho

  4. Inflammatory Response • Begins with chemicals released into ECF by injured tissues, immune cells, blood proteins • Macrophages and epithelial cells of boundary tissues bear Toll-like receptors (TLRs) • 11 types of TLRs recognize specific classes of infecting microbes • Activated TLRs trigger release of cytokines that promote inflammation MDufilho

  5. Inflammatory Response • Inflammatory mediators • Histamine (from mast cells) • Kinins, prostaglandins (PGs), and complement • Dilate local arterioles (hyperemia) • Causes redness and heat of inflamed region • Make capillaries leaky • Many attract leukocytes to area • Some have inflammatory roles MDufilho

  6. Inflammatory Response: Edema •  Capillary permeability exudate to tissues • Fluid containing clotting factors and antibodies • Causes local swelling (edema) • Swelling pushes on nerve endings  pain • Pain also from bacterial toxins, prostaglandins, and kinins • Moves foreign material into lymphatic vessels • Delivers clotting proteins and complement MDufilho

  7. Inflammatory Response • Clotting factors form fibrin mesh • Scaffold for repair • Isolates injured area so invaders cannot spread MDufilho

  8. Clinical Applications • Benadryl (an antihistamine) – blocks receptor site (H1) for histamine receptors • Aspirin/Ibuprofen – inhibits formation/action of prostaglandins – reduces pain and fever Cortisone cream – inhibits release/action of inflammatory chemicals • Naproxen – prevents formation of prostaglandins MDufilho

  9. Figure 4.12. Tissue repair of a nonextensive skin wound: regeneration and fibrosis. Slide 1 Scab Epidermis Vein Blood clot in incised wound Inflammatory chemicals Migrating white blood cell Artery Inflammation sets the stage: • Severed blood vessels bleed. • Inflammatory chemicals are released. • Local blood vessels become more permeable, allowing white blood cells, fluid, clotting proteins, and other plasma proteins to seep into the injured area. • Clotting occurs; surface dries and forms a scab. 1 MDufilho

  10. Tissue Repair • Necessary when barriers are penetrated • Cells must divide and migrate • Occurs in two major ways • Regeneration • Same kind of tissue replaces destroyed tissue • Original function restored • Fibrosis • Connective tissue replaces destroyed tissue • Original function lost MDufilho

  11. Figure 4.12. Tissue repair of a nonextensive skin wound: regeneration and fibrosis. Regenerating epithelium Area of granulation tissue ingrowth Fibroblast Macrophage Budding capillary 2 Organization restores the blood supply: • The clot is replaced by granulation tissue, which restores the vascular supply. • Fibroblasts produce collagen fibers that bridge the gap. • Macrophages phagocytize dead and dying cells and other debris. • Surface epithelial cells multiply and migrate over the granulation tissue. Slide 2 MDufilho

  12. Steps in Tissue Repair: Step 3 • Regeneration and fibrosis • The scab detaches • Fibrous tissue matures; epithelium thickens and begins to resemble adjacent tissue • Results in a fully regenerated epithelium with underlying scar tissue MDufilho

  13. Figure 4.12. Tissue repair of a nonextensive skin wound: regeneration and fibrosis. Slide 3 Regenerated epithelium Fibrosed area Regeneration and fibrosis effect permanent repair: • The fibrosed area matures and contracts; the epithelium thickens. • A fully regenerated epithelium with an underlying area of scar tissue results. 3 MDufilho

  14. Regenerative Capacity in Different Tissues • Regenerate extremely well • Epithelial tissues, bone, areolar connective tissue, dense irregular connective tissue, blood-forming tissue • Moderate regenerating capacity • Smooth muscle and dense regular connective tissue • Virtually no functional regenerative capacity • Cardiac muscle and nervous tissue of brain and spinal cord • New research shows cell division does occur • Efforts underway to coax them to regenerate better MDufilho

  15. Aging Tissues • Normally function well through youth and middle age if adequate diet, circulation, and infrequent wounds and infections • Epithelia thin with increasing age so more easily breached • Tissue repair less efficient • Bone, muscle and nervous tissues begin to atrophy • DNA mutations possible  increased cancer risk MDufilho
