What Do You Mean by Tissue Renewal, Regeneration, Repair Flashcards

What do you mean by Tissue Renewal, Regeneration, and Repair? The human body made up of thousands of cells that bind together to form tissues. Tissues face a lot of threats, and that said, there are ways that the tissue tries to get back to its regular operation. Read through these flashcards and get to find out!

Front Back
Regeneration (define):
Growth of cells/tissues to replace lost structures Compensatory growth
How is repair different from regeneration?
Scar formation also by deposition of collagen
Repair and scar formation done by this process. What signals?
Fibrosis GFs, cytokines
Size of a cell population depends on what? (3)
Cell proliferation Differentiation Cell death
Labile tissue (define)
Continuously dividing
Quiescent tissue (define)
Stable tissue low levels of division (G0 stage), but can enter G1 and rapidly divide
Permanent tissue
Nondividing; no cell division (neurons, cardiac, skeletal muscle)
Stem cells: traits
1. prolonged capacity for self-renewal 2. Asymmetric replication
Assymetric replication (define):
One cell retains capacity to self-replicate and one cell differentiates into mature, non-dividing cell
Embryonic stem cell has what kind of potential? Location?
1. Pluripotent--can give rise to all tissues of body 2. Inner cell mass of blastocyts
Adult stem cells Location Bone marrow types
1. tissues that continuously divide 2. hematopoietic, marrow stem cells
Function of hematopoietic stem cells
1. make blood cell lineage 2. make bone marrow 3. tx some hematologic diseases
Marrow stem cells 1. potential? 2. Function
1. multipotent 2. migrate to injured tissue, generate stromal cells
Cell cycle controlled by...
1. GFs 2. Signals from ECM thru integrins
