Review questions of regeneration & healing by fibrosis
Q1-Define the followings repair , regeneration, healing???
ANSWER
Repair: refers to the restoration of tissue architecture and function after an
injury. This occurs by regeneration and/or healing.
Regeneration: is the complete restoration of the damaged components of
the affected tissue i.e. the tissue essentially returns to a normal state.
Healing:is a reparative process characterized by laying down of connective
(fibrous) tissue that results in scar formation.
Q2- What are the cell types proliferate during tissue repair??
ANSWER
1. The remnants of the injured tissue
2. Vascular endothelial cells
3. Fibroblasts
Q3-Fill in the blanks:
1- Checkpoint controls prevent DNA replication or mitosis of damaged
cells
2- Progression through the cell cycle from G1 is regulated by proteins
called cyclins, which form complexes with enzymes called cyclin-
dependent kinases (CDKs).
3- The tissues of the body are divided into three groups based on
proliferative capacities continuously dividing tissues (labile
tissues) , stable tissues, permanent Tissues
4- Labile cells include hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow and the
majority of surface epithelia
5- Stable cells constitute the parenchyma of most solid tissues, such as
liver & kidney. They also include endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and
smooth muscle cells
6- Skeletal muscle is usually classified as a permanent tissue
7- Stem cells are characterized by two important properties:
1. Self-renewal capacity
2. Asymmetric replication.
8- Cell proliferation can be triggered by
1. Growth factors, 2. Hormones, 3. Cytokines and 4. Signals from
the ECM
9- The ECM is a dynamic, constantly remodeling macromolecular
complex synthesized locally, which assembles into a network that
surrounds cells.
10- ECM occurs in two basic forms:
1. Interstitial matrix
2. Basement membrane
11- Interstitial matrix Its major constituents are fibrillar and nonfibrillar
collagens, as well as fibronectin, elastin, proteoglycans, hyaluronate
12- Basement membrane major constituents are amorphous nonfibrillar
type IV collagen and laminin.
13- Functions of the ECM
1. Mechanical support
2. Control of cell growth
3. Maintenance of cell differentiation .
4. Scaffolding for tissue renewal
5. Establishment of tissue microenvironments
6. Storage and presentation of regulatory molecules
14-Components of the Extracellular Matrix
1. Fibrous structural proteins
2. Water-hydrated gels
3. Adhesive glycoproteins
