11 Copyright © 2012, 2006, 2000, 1996 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Stage 1: Acute Inflammatory IIIIncrease blood flow to the area that brings cells and chemicals to begin the healing process. PPPPhagocytes- Eat up dead cells. LLLLeukocytes- Infection fighting white blood cells. PPPPlatelets-Carry blood clotting materials. THIS STAGE LASTS FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS Courtesy of Tracie Yarber

12 Copyright © 2012, 2006, 2000, 1996 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Stage 2: Repair The injured area has been filled with the blood, cells, and chemicals needed to rebuild the injury Fibroblasts begin building fibers across the injury and form the scar. THIS PROCESS LASTS FROM 6 WEEKS TO 3 MONTHS. Courtesy of Tracie Yarber

13 Copyright © 2012, 2006, 2000, 1996 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Stage 3: Remodeling Builds tissue strength in the tendons, ligaments and muscles to withstand stress applied to the body. THIS STAGE TAKES UP TO A YEAR OR MORE.

14 Copyright © 2012, 2006, 2000, 1996 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.CONCLUSION Soft tissue healing requires the tissue to go through 3 stages: Acute Inflammatory Repair Repair Remodeling Remodeling The injury should be healed completely after about a years time.

Causes of Cell Injury Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply oxygen means a total depletion in the level of oxygen, an extreme form of hypoxia or "low oxygen". Anoxia means a total depletion in the level of oxygen, an extreme form of hypoxia or "low oxygen".oxygen Microbes Inflammation Immune reactions Genetic & metabolic disorders

Major Causes of Hypoxia/Anoxia Hydrogen peroxide linklink Superoxide, is a compound that contains the superoxide anion with the chemical formula O 2 −. anion Hydroxyl radical Free radical and aging The human body is in constant battle to keep from aging. Research suggests that free radical damage to cells leads to the pathological changes associated with aging.
23
22 Copyright © 2012, 2006, 2000, 1996 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Reperfusion Injury During anoxia, radicals will build up. After a heart attack, if the blood flow is reestablished, then the spreading of these radicals will actually increase the cellular death.

23 Copyright © 2012, 2006, 2000, 1996 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Reperfusion Injury Reperfusion injury is the tissue damage caused when blood supply returns to the tissue after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen. The absence of oxygen and nutrients from blood during the ischemic period creates a condition in which the restoration of circulation results in inflammation and oxidative damage through the induction of oxidative stress rather than restoration of normal function. tissuebloodischemiaoxygennutrients circulationinflammation oxidative stresstissuebloodischemiaoxygennutrients circulationinflammation oxidative stress

27 Copyright © 2012, 2006, 2000, 1996 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Cell Adaptations Occur as result of prolonged exposure to adverse or exaggerated normal stimuli Main forms of adaptation: Atrophy means cells wasting away from lack of use. Atrophy Hypertrophy means swelling of cells. Hypertrophy means increase in number of cells. Hyperplasia means increase in number of cells. Hyperplasia Metaplasia means replacing one cell type with another. Metaplasia Under some circumstances cells may accumulate abnormal amounts of various substances like lipids or proteins. Intracellular accumulation: Under some circumstances cells may accumulate abnormal amounts of various substances like lipids or proteins. Intracellular accumulation

Atrophy Decrease in size of cell, tissue, organ, or entire body: Physiologic & predictable: atrophy caused by aging Pathologic: lack of nutrition, chronic ischemia, denervation, inactivity. This happens when you break an arm and it stays in a cast for 6 – 8 weeks. The muscle atrophies and weakens. Recurrent physical therapy is required to regain the lost muscle mass and tone.

42 Copyright © 2012, 2006, 2000, 1996 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Liquefactive Necrosis Often it is associated with focal bacterial or fungal infections. In liquefactive necrosis, the affected cell is completely digested by hydrolytic enzymes, resulting in a soft, circumscribed lesion consisting of pus and the fluid remains of necrotic tissue. Dead leukocytes will remain as a creamy yellow pus. [1] After the removal of cell debris by white blood cells, a fluid filled space is left. It is generally associated with abscess formation and is commonly found in the central nervous system.bacterialfungalhydrolytic [1]white blood cellsabscesscentral nervous system
