65
Q

Wound healing phase: 3-5 days

Inflammatory

66
Q

Wound healing phase: Fibroblast formation

A

Proliferative

67

Inflammatory

68
Q

Proliferative

69
Q

Wound healing phase: = or slightly > than collagen breakdown

A

Maturation

70
Q

Wound healing phase: >collagen breakdown

A

Maturation

71
Q

Wound healing phase: Platelets aggregate, & fibrin is deposited to form a clot over the area

A

inflammatory

72
Q

Wound healing phase: A wound is considered closed at the time epithelium covers the surface; however, wound healing involves remodeling of the scar tissue

A

maturation

73
Q

Wound healing phase: at deep, fibroblasts are migrating & proliferating; superficial, re-epitheliazation

A

proliferative

74
Q

A

maturation

75
Q

Wound healing phase: Leukocytes infiltrate the area & behin to rid the site of contamination

A

inflammatory

76
Q

Wound healing phase: remodeling of collagen, which becomes more parallel in arrangement & forms stronger bonds

maturation

77
Q

Wound healing phase: re-epithelialization

A

maturation

79
Q

Wound healing phase: If there are other parts of the dermis nearby, they produce epithelium,

A

proliferative

80
Q

Wound healing phase: There is increased permeability of the blood vessels, with leaking of plasma, into the interstitial space & subsequent edema formation.

A

inflammatory

81
Q

A

flat, pale, pliable

82
Q

re-epitheliazation occurs at what layer of epidermis

A

stratum basale

83
Q

this ceases when (1) the edges of the wound meet, or (2) tension in the surrounding skin equals or exceeds the force of contraction

A

wound healing

84
Q

these are the cells that synthesize scar tissue, which is composed of collages & protein ppolysaccharides in the form of a viscous ground substance that surrounds the collagen strands

A

fibroblasts

85
