What are the 4 phases of tissue repair?
- hemostasis: clot
- inflammatory: immune cells, initiation
- Reparative: proliferate, migration of cells, granulation tissue
- Wound contraction: scarring

Softer and easier to detach
What’s the primary hemostasis platelet plug process?
> Vascular spasm (constriction) with platelet plug
Exposed collagen in subendothelium allows platelet plug (bc of von willebrand)
platelets activate and dump out fibrinogen glue
