A 7 Wound healing Flashcards
how long does it take for vasoconstriction to occur after a wound has occurred?
10-15 minutes post wounding.
what activates both the intrinsic and extrinsic clotting cascade?
collagen exposure
What do thromboxane A2 and Prostaglandin 2A do?
they are 2 important vasoconstrictors in wound healing that are released from damaged cell membranes.
do platelets help with vasoconstriction or vasodilatation?
vasoconstriction.
Platelets release?
epidermal growth factor (EGF)
fibronectin
histamine
PDGF
what is fibrin?
the primary component in the matrix of the early wound which creates a stable plug/clot.(thrombin–>fibrinogen–>fibrin)
besides leading to the fibrin clot, what else does thrombin do?
increases vascular permeability, and facilitates the migration of inflammatory cells.
what does histamine, prostaglandins (E1 &E2), kinins, C3a, C5a, and leukotrienes have in common?
they all increase vessel permeability so that cells can move out during inflammation and infection.
which white blood cells are the first to migrate to the wound area?
PMN’s or neutrophils.
What helps signal the white blood cell to leave the blood vessel and move into the tissue?
TGF-beta
what are the 3 stages of wound healing?
1) hemostasis and inflammation
2) granulation and proliferation
3) remodeling and maturation
lymphokines and interleukens are considered classes of?
cytokines
How do growth factors work?
1) GF cellular receptor
2) phosphorylation of a kinase
3) second messenger
4) nuclear transcription
5) cell proliferation
How long does the hemostasis/inflammatory phase generally last?
2-5 days post accident
What is the first response cell to the damaged tissue?
platelets
What is considered to be the first leukocyte (second cell type) to arrive on scene?
the neutrophil because the platelet releases C5a which is a chemoattractant for neutrophils.
What is the result when ADP leaks out from the damages tissues?
platelet aggragation
prothrombin–> thrombin, fibrinogen–> fibrin.
what do thrombin and fibrin do?
1) thrombin increases vascular permeability/extravascular migration
2) fibrin is the primary component of the matrix in the early wound as it strengthens the platelet aggregate.
which factors contribute to vessel permeability?
thrombin histamine prostaglandins C3a C5a
what do neutrophils do?
phagocytosis
oxidative burst mechanisms
what are the third type of cells that migrate to the wound site?
macrophage
platelet–>neutrophil–>macrophage
what do macrophages release?
collagenases [debride the wound]
TNF [stimulate fibroblast and angiogenesis]
TGF [stimulates keratinocytes]
