Document Summary
In the unit on inflammation, we discussed the outcomes of acute inflammation: resolution (the ideal outcome) Refers to the return to normal which will follow an uncomplicated acute inflammation: regeneration. The tissue is restored to its original state, prior to the injury. Occurs when tissue damage is more extensive. Involves the replacement of parenchymal cells by new parenchymal cells of the same type. Scarring, or a combination of the two may result from acute inflammation: abscess. When parenchymal cells are lost, the adjacent surviving ells may undergo division to. The extent of regeneration depends on the ability of that cell type to divide, the number of surviving cells, and whether or not there is a surviving connective tissue framework to allow the normal tissue structure. The regenerative capacity of different cell types vary: a) labile cells divide actively through life to replace cells which are normally being lost.
