How does ischemia cause pathology in the body?

What will be an ideal response?

A complete response should include these concepts:
• Ischemia (or limited blood flow) decreases the flow of nutrients into the area.
• It also decreases the flow of metabolic wastes out of the area.
• It can stimulate the release of chemicals, which can increase the pain experienced as well as encourage further ischemia.
• Ischemia can cause the ground substance to cool so that the ground substance becomes "sticky" and develops adhesions, scars, etc.
