How do you repair fibrosis?
Fibrosis is repair. When a tissue is damaged fibroblasts repair the damage and this process is called Fibrosis.
The repair of cardiac muscle and nervous tissue occurs only by?
fibrosis
Is it true that if tissue damage is very severe tissue repair is more likely to occur by fibrosis or scarring?
fibrosis
Is the repair of cardiac muscle and nervous tissue done by fibrosis?
true
Muscle tissue that is lost is replaced with what non contractile tissue?
skeletal muscle is made up of permanent cells - ie they never divide. this means if it is lost then it will heal by repair with organisation and progressive fibrosis = scar formation.
What is the formation of scar tissue in the lung resulting in decreased lung capacity?
pulmonary fibrosis
What is chronic apical pulmonary fibrosis?
Chronic means constant. Apical means relating to. Pulmonary means of the lungs. Fibrosis means the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue. So it means constant formation of excess fibrous connective tissue in the lungs.
Which is more desirable healing by fibrosis or regeneration?
Skin injuries typically heal using regeneration in which the dead or damaged cells are replaced by identical cells, while more severe injuries may heal using fibrosis. Fibrosis will not restore the function of the lost cells, however, the scar tissue is capable of holding the organ together. Therefore, regeneration is more desirable.
What is the septal fibrosis of the heart?
It is a fibrosis (formation of scar tissue) in septum, a part of the heart that separates left and right part of the heart. It is usually a consequence of a viral infection.
What is Abnormal formation of fibrous tissue?
Fibrous tissue are the filaments that make up skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue. The abnormal formation involves fibers being overlaid across each other.
What is the formation of scar tissue in the lung resulting in decreased lung capacity and increased in breathing?
pulmonary fibrosis
Is scar fibrosis is a disease?
Scar fibrosis itself is not a disease, but a reactive effect of numerous diseases. It refers to the formation of connective tissue in commonly injured or deformed tissue surface as a reaction to damage or deformation caused by a disease or other. See the link for a better explanation.
