Q

Phases of Wound Healing:

What happens in inflammatory phase?

A

Immediate response is VASOCONSTRICTION and clot formation

After 10 mins, VASODILATION ooccurs with increased capillary permeability and leakage of plasma (and plasma proteins) into surrounding tissue

WBCs (esp. microphages) migrate to wound

Q

Phases of Wound Healing:

What happens in the Proliferative Phase?

A

Fibrin strands form a scaffold or framework

Fibroblast cells migrate into wound, attach to framework, divide, and stimulate the secretion of collagen

Collagen builds tough and inflexible scar tissue

Capillaries in areas surrounding the wound form buds that grow into new vessels

Capillary buds and Collagen deposits form the granulation tissue in the wound that contracts

Epithelial cells grow over the granulation tissue bed

Q

Phases of Wound Healing:

What happens in the Maturation Phase?

A
