What are the three phases of wound healing?
Inflammatory phase, proliferative phase, and maturation phase.
True or False: The inflammatory phase is the first phase of wound healing.
True
Fill in the blank: The __________ phase involves the body’s initial response to injury.
inflammatory
What is the primary purpose of the inflammatory phase?
To prevent infection and prepare the wound for healing.
During which phase does granulation tissue formation occur?
Proliferative phase.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the inflammatory phase? A) Redness B) Swelling C) Scar formation D) Pain
C) Scar formation
What is the main cell type involved in the inflammatory phase?
Neutrophils.
True or False: The maturation phase can last for years after the wound has closed.
True
Fill in the blank: The __________ phase focuses on the remodeling of collagen.
