1st Exam. Part 9. WOUND Flashcards
Any break or discontinuity in layers of skin or tissue of organ
wound
(2) Closed wounds
- Contusion
- Abrasion
(4) Open wound
- Laceration
- Puncture
- Penetrating
- Avulsion
unbroken skin, caused by crushing of underlying tissue
closed wound
damaged soft tissues without breaks in skin, trauma is caused by blunt force trauma
(bleeding is more observed in this type of wound)
Contusion
break in the skin that involves the dermis, trauma is caused by scraping or friction (ALT)
Animal continuously licks the paws that results in _____
Abrasions
skin is penetrated or broken
Open wound
slender or straight cut cause by sharp objects
clean edges
Incision
irregular edges and tearing of skin and underlying tissues;
torn wound edges
Laceration
caused by pointed objects;
deep
Puncture
body cavities are affected at a deeper level
Penetrating
partially and fully torn skin that tends to bleed a lot and causes great trauma
Avulsion
wounds that are located in the limbs
degloving wounds
Phases of wound healing (3)
- Inflammatory
- Proliferation
- Remodeling
- Occurs within minutes after initial wound
- Starts with vasoconstriction then vasodilation
- Wound is rinsed and filled with blood-collagen and fibrin constituents
- Cytokines are produced in this stage
- Scab formation (platelets)
- Active bleeding of the wound
- Clot formation
- Scab formation
INFLAMMATORY phase
occurs 3-5 days after initial injury
- Epithelium regulates collagen fiber
- Migration of collagen, fibroblasts and the like
- Fibrin network : scaffold for wound, support for collagen, attracts more platelets
- “ Itchy phase“
- Re-epithelialization
- Resorption of blood collagen
- Angiogenesis occurs
- Epithelial proliferation and migration
- Longest phase
- Wound contraction : wound is smaller due to re-epthilialization, centripetal movement of epithelial cells
PROLIFERATION phase
- Growth of new epithelial cells
- Reorganization of collagen to provide a sturdier support
- 14-21 days of remodeling
- Tissue layers are not as strong as original tissue
