Tissue Response

Tissue Response -21

QuestionAnswer
HEALING IS A continuum 3 phases of healing overlap each other & have no definitive beginning or end points
Phase I Acute inflammatory Phase Starts right away latest 2-4 days. Treatment: Protect, Localize
What happens first after an injury — vasoconstriction or vasodilation Vasoconstriction happens first.
What is vasoconstriction The narrowing of blood vessels, which decreases blood flow to the area for about 5–10 minutes. This helps form a platelet plug and start blood coagulation (clotting).
What happens after vasoconstriction Vasodilation occurs — the blood vessels widen, increasing blood flow to bring oxygen and nutrients to the area.
Why is vasodilation important? It increases blood flow, transports oxygen and nutrients, and helps remove waste products
What role do proteins play during this phase? Proteins act as building blocks for tissue repair.
What are “cellular changes”? They are chemical reactions that begin immediately after injury to start the healing process.
Constrict Stop the bleeding.
Dilate Start the healing.”
What type of cells are responsible for forming blood clots Platelets (also called thrombocytes)
What do platelets do when tissue is exposed or injured? They adhere to the exposed tissue, forming a plug (clot) to stop bleeding.
What do clots do to the lymphatic system during healing? Clots obstruct lymphatic fluid drainage, helping to contain swelling and prevent further fluid buildup.
What is the main purpose of clot formation? To localize the injury, preventing it from spreading and creating a stable base for healing.
Platelets Plug the Problem! They stick, stop bleeding, and start healing.)
Chronic Inflammation Typically associated with overuse, overload, cumulative microtrauma.
If Steve doesn’t take proper care during the first phase of healing what can occur when thinking about inflammation Can become chronic
What material attaches itself to the exposed tissue during healing Platelets (also called thrombocytes)
Phase II Repair Regeneration Phase, Phase will extend from 48 Hrs to 3-6 weeks. Phase removes debris & temporary repair scare formation. (fibroplasia)
What happens to pain and tenderness during the repair phase? Pain and tenderness gradually subside during this period.
What is the main goal of the repair phase? To rebuild and restore damaged tissue after the inflammatory phase.
How many processes occur during tissue repair? Tissue is repaired through three phases.
What is the first process in tissue repair? Resolution – when dead cells and cellular debris are removed, leaving the original structure and function intact.
What are fibroblasts and what do they do? Fibroblasts are tissue-forming cells that help rebuild and strengthen the damaged area.
What happens during tissue remodeling? The tissue is reorganized and strengthened, restoring normal structure and function.
Phase 1 = Stop the bleeding 💉 Phase 2 = Rebuild the tissue 🧱 Phase 3 = Strengthen and remodel
What is regeneration? II The process in which damaged tissue is replaced by cells of the same type, allowing the structure to retain some or all of its original function.
What key process is involved in regeneration? The synthesis of collagen (fibrous tissue formation).
What is repair? When original tissue is replaced with scar tissue, resulting in the loss of the original structure and function.
What is important for proper repair after injury? Correct tissue alignment during the healing process.
Steve has noticed a decrease in pain & tenderness in his ankle, what phase of healing has he progressed into Phase 2 repair
During the 3rd phase of repair the original tissue is replaced with what kind of tissue? Scare Tissue repair
Phase III Remodeling Maturation Phase, begins at week 3. increase strength of repaired/replaced tissues
Remodeling Phase III Long term process
synthesis To build up
lysis Break down
Remodeling Phase Continued breakdown and synthesis of collagen = increased strength
Remodeling Phase III Tissue will gradually assume normal appearance, Will take several years to complete
What is the main purpose of the last phase of the healing process? Get strength to repair tissue
Steve has started more intense rehab from his ankle sprain, what forces will help realign the repaired fibers Tension forces- pulling
Steve wants to know exactly how long it’s going to be until his ankle is as strong as his other ankle, back to normal, what will you say to him? Its continuum Estimate 3 months.
What are the five cardinal signs of inflammation? Redness, heat, swelling, pain, and loss of function.
What causes redness during inflammation? Dilation of arterioles and increased blood flow to the area
What causes heat at the site of inflammation? Increased chemical activity and increased blood flow to the skin surface.
What causes swelling during inflammation? Accumulation of blood and damaged tissue cells (fluid buildup)
What causes pain during inflammation? Direct injury to nerve fibers, pressure of hematoma on nerve endings, and chemical irritants.
What causes loss of function in an inflamed area? Increased pain and swelling that limit movement or use of the area.
What are the three main phases of the healing process? Inflammatory Response Phase Fibroblastic Repair Phase Maturation-Remodeling Phase
When does the Inflammatory Response Phase occur? Immediately after injury and lasts about 2–4 days.
What happens during the Inflammatory Response Phase? The body’s defense system activates; blood flow increases, and inflammation removes damaged tissue
When does the Fibroblastic Repair Phase begin and end? Begins around day 4 and can last up to 4–6 weeks.
What occurs during the Fibroblastic Repair Phase? Collagen and scar tissue form, and new tissue (fibroblasts) begins to rebuild the injured area.
When does the Maturation-Remodeling Phase begin? Around week 6 and can last for several months to years, depending on the injury
What occurs during the Maturation-Remodeling Phase Tissue realigns and strengthens along the lines of stress to restore function.
