1.4 wound healing Flashcards
Minimal tissue damage, the cells recover within a short period eg., mild sunburn
resolution
The damaged tissue is replaced by identical tissue from nearby cells. Sometimes altering the tissues overall function. eg., fibrous tissue in the liver
regeneration
Extensive damage, the tissue is replaced by connective tissue (scar), tissue cells are incapable to regenerate. eg., Brain or heart infarction
Replacement
Healing process where wound is clean, free of foreign material and necrosis, wound can be held together with minimal gap.
first intention healing
Healing in where there is a large break in tissue, significant inflammation, a long healing period and lots of scar tissue
second intention healing
Protein commonly found in connective tissue and basic component found in scar tissue
collagen
Functional cells within tissue
parenchyma
Process of cleaning debris and dead cells from injured site.
debridement
Epithelial layer growing under the clot to bridge the wound gap
epithelialisation
New connective tissue growing into the wound (bright red)
granulation
Excessive scar tissue that grows beyond the wound edges
keloid scar
Scar tissue that remains within wound margins
hypertrophic scar
Development of new blood vessels
angiogenesis
