The Injury Process
Across
- 4. Complete healing where dead cells and cellular debris are removed and the tissue is left functionally the same.
- 7. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
- 8. Physical agents that help create an optimal healing environment.
- 11. Abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial tissue between the skin and body cavities. Homeostasis of fluid mechanics is disturbed.
- 12. Indirect result of tissue trauma. Healthy tissues surrounding primary injury die due to aggressive eating of healthy tissue within area of original injury. Waste products also damage cell membranes of healthy cells causing cell death.
- 16. White blood cells.
- 17. The major protein of connective tissue.
- 19. Therapeutic use of cold.
- 21. Wound or injury.
- 22. Bone cells that remove bone tissue by breaking up the organic bone.
- 23. Immature, fiber-producing cells of connective tissue that can mature into one of several different cell types.
- 24. Powerful inflammatory chemical that causes an increase in vascular permeability and vasodilation.
- 25. Agent that relieves pain without causing a complete loss of sensation.
- 27. Damaged tissue is replaced by some cells of the same type along with scar tissue, and it retains most of its original structure.
Down
- 1. Red discoloration of the skin.
- 2. The most common tissue in the body; includes ligaments, bones, retinaculum, joint capsules, cartilage, fascia, and tendons.
- 3. Original tissue is replaced by scar tissue and the structure and function are lost.
- 5. Increase in the diameter of a blood vessel resulting in an increased blood flow.
- 6. Process of programmed cell death. Biochemical events can lead to changes in cell characteristics thereby causing cell death.
- 9. Decrease in the diameter of a blood vessel resulting in a decreased blood flow.
- 10. Therapeutic use of heat.
- 13. Inflammatory chemical released when tissues are damaged; it results in increased pain in the area and may play a role in the production of other inflammatory chemicals such as prostaglandins.
- 14. Cellular organelles that contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
- 15. Indirect result of tissue trauma. Healthy tissues surrounding primary injury die due to lack of blood flow and lack of metabolic supplies. The energy needed exceeds that of the energy available.
- 18. Perhaps some of the most powerful chemicals produced in the body; related to the inflammatory process, they cause a variety of effects including vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, pain, fever, and clotting.
- 20. Destruction of injurious cells or particles by phagocytes (white blood cells).
- 26. Cells that synthesize bone. Function in groups of connected cells.
