What Histological Changes Occur During Tissue Injury?
Histological changes vary depending on the type and extent of the injury. Common changes include:
- Cellular Swelling: Due to influx of water and ions. - Necrosis: Irreversible cell death, leading to tissue breakdown. - Apoptosis: Programmed cell death, a controlled process to remove damaged cells. - Extracellular Matrix Remodeling: Changes in the structure of the extracellular matrix, including the deposition of collagen and other proteins.
