How does a local inflammatory response encourage healing?
What will be an ideal response?
A complete response should include these concepts:
• Inflammatory processes encourage healing and allow damaged tissues to be rebuilt and strengthened.
• When tissues are irritated, histamine is released.
• Histamine dilates capillaries to encourage better blood flow.
? More nutrients get to the affected tissues.
? Waste removal from affected tissues is improved.
• Fibroclasts are stimulated to break down damaged fibers.
• Fibroblasts are stimulated to secrete new fibers to rebuild the area.
More fibroblasts are stimulated to migrate to the area, which furthers the rebuilding process.
