47
Greenstick fracture
-where is it mostly seen?
commonly seen in children, where one side of the bone is broken and the other side is bent but not completely fractured. Greenstick fractures are more flexible than adult bones due to the higher proportion of collagen and less mineralization, making them more prone to bending rather than breaking completely.

Bruise: hematoma, caused by damaged capillaries
58
Blanching
skin has whitish appearance cause by diminished blood flow to that region
59
Why is there visible discoloration in a bruise?
*making sure no iron toxicity occurs*
due to the breakdown of hemoglobin. Initially, a bruise appears red or purple because of the presence of oxygenated hemoglobin. As time passes, the hemoglobin breaks down into different compounds, including biliverdin and bilirubin, which are yellow and greenish in color. Eventually, these compounds are metabolized and cleared from the body, leading to the fading of the bruise.

can become overzealous and lead to pneumonia which is fluid in air sacs, which can lead to death
102
stages of vitamin D
skin→liver→kidney (calcitriol)
103
Vitamin D whole process
The skin helps produce vitamin D (cholecalciferol) when exposed to sunlight, cholecalciferol is then modified in the liver to become calciferol, then the final modification is in the kidneys known as calcitriol, one of the 4 bone remolding hormones, which leads to elevated blood Ca++, thus stimulating osteoclasts and promoting renal reabsorption of Ca++.

Dermis layer is thicker
All layers of the dermis are alive, the top two layers of the epidermis, stratum corneum and lucidum, are dead, because they are further than 6-8 cell lengths away from capillary bed and cannot receive oxygen.

Apocrine: Mainly in the groin and axillary region, activated when nervous (what anaerobes like)
Eccrine: all over the body, secrete sweat which is water, NaCl, and nitrogenous waste
They apocrine glands secretes oil as well which stimulate bacterial growth = bad smell

115
Why immunosuppressants IF one has to be given a skin graft (from another person)??
the skin graft is coming from a different person and sometimes that skin is not a MHC match; immunosuppressants are given to help the body NOT fight the new skin and accept it
116
What is MHC and what is its relevance with our cells recognizing OTHER cells as foreign or "self"??
MHC - Major Histocompatibility Complex
MHC is how we recognize our own tissue as "self" so as to avoid an immune attack against our own tissue
