Anatomy and Physiology of Integumentary System Flashcards
1
Q
In order to be considered closed, a wound has to have what?
A
Full re-epithelialization (AKA new skin growth)
2
Q
Outermost layer of the skin is what
A
Epidermis
3
Q
Between epidermis and dermis is what
A
Basement membrane (binds the two together)
4
Q
Layers of the epidermis from INNERMOST to surface
A
Stratum Basale Stratum Spinosum Stratum Granulosum Stratum Lucidum Stratum Corneum
5
Q
Erosion
A
loss of superficial epidermis only - no involvement of the dermis
6
Q
Partial Thickness Wounding
A
Loss of the epidermis and part of the dermis (will bleed due to interference with microvascular structure in dermal tissue)
7
Q
Full Thickness Wounding
A
Loss of epidermis and dermis extending into subQ tissue and in some cases can involve bone, tendon, or muscle
