Q

what is fibrin?

A

the primary component in the matrix of the early wound which creates a stable plug/clot.(thrombin–>fibrinogen–>fibrin)

Q

besides leading to the fibrin clot, what else does thrombin do?

A

increases vascular permeability, and facilitates the migration of inflammatory cells.

Q

what does histamine, prostaglandins (E1 &E2), kinins, C3a, C5a, and leukotrienes have in common?

Q

What is considered to be the first leukocyte (second cell type) to arrive on scene?

A

the neutrophil because the platelet releases C5a which is a chemoattractant for neutrophils.

Q

prothrombin–> thrombin, fibrinogen–> fibrin.

what do thrombin and fibrin do?

A

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.

Q

What time frame does the proliferative/granulation phase occur?

A

2 days to 3 weeks

24
Q

_________are the most important mesenchymal cells in wound healing?

A

fibroblasts.

25
Q

In order to fill in a gap produced by a wound, the cells migrate into the wound and lay down a sticky bed of proteins that consists of what?

A

laminin 5

26
Q

T/F Fibroblast migrate across fibrils in the early wound.

A

False, they migrate ALONG and not ACCROSS.

for some reason she put an emphasis on this

27
Q

What is the function of TIMP?

A

TIMP = tissue inhibitors of Metalloproteinases.

Recall that metalloproteinases break down the old matrix such as a scab to make new area)

28
Q

which type of collagen predominates in early wound healing?

which type of collagen predominates in late wound healing?

A
early = type 3 collagen
late = type 1 collagen
29
Q

high lactate levels, low Ph, and hypoxia all stimulate what?

A

angiogenesis

30
Q

what is considered the most potent angiogenic agent?

A

VEGF

31
Q

List the order of cells that move to the wound area?

A

1) platelets
2) neutrophils
3) macrophages
4) fibroblasts

32
Q

In what time frame does remodeling/maturation phase occur?

A

3 weeks to 2 years

33
Q

collagen deposition reaches its peak in the wound by what time?
however, it is only ________% as strong?

A

1) 3 weeks

2) 15 percent

34
Q

what is considered the most potent stimulant for collagen synthesis?

A

TGF beta

35
Q

after complete renewal of the wound, the scar is only _____% as strong as the original?

A

80%

36
Q

what percentage of normal skin is made up of collagen type 1?

A

80-90 %

37
Q

T/F elastin is a major part of the wound healing process as it helps keep tension to prevent splitting?

A

False, recall that elastin is not a part of the new scar even though it is a part of normal skin.

38
Q

Name 3 enzymes used for collagen breakdown?

A

1) Matrixmetalloproteins
2) collagenase
3) gelatinase

39
Q

when does the scar reach maximum tensile strength?

A

at about 12 weeks. However, this is still only about 80% of normal.

40
Q

What is first intention surgical repair of the skin?

A

wound healing by direct approximation such as with suturing.

41
Q

what is second intention surgical repair of the skin?

A

wound left open to heal spontaneously

42
Q

what is third intention surgical repair of the skin?

A

delayed wound closure.

43
Q

Name vitamins/minerals (stuff) that affect wound healing?

A

vitamin K,A,C, zinc, protein deficiency, copper, cobalt, iron–>just trace elements…..

44
Q

how does vitamin A affect wound healing?

A

decreased collagen and increased infection rate

45
Q

how does vitamin C affect wound healing?

A

capillary fragility, unstable collagen

46
Q

how does vitamin K affect wound healing?

A

clotting cascade

47
Q

how does zinc affect wound healing?

A

decreased immune system

48
Q

what is a Keloid scar?

A

excessive accumulation of collagen on the wound and beyond.

49
Q

what is Hypertrophic scarring?

A

excessive accumulation of collagen on the wound only…

what is hypotrophic scarring?

A

insufficient accumulation of collagen of the wound
