contains blood, lymph, and fibrinogen begins clotting and loosely binds the cut edges together

Answer 1

lag phase

Question 2

forms scar tissue

Answer 2

maturation phase

Question 3

Tensile strength grows rapidly as the collagen network of the fibers builds

Answer 3

healing phase or proliferative phase

Question 3

Leukocytes remove bacteria and damaged tissue debris

Answer 3

lag phase

Question 4

Fibrin, clotting blood, and serum protein dry out, forming the scab to heal the wound.

Answer 4

lag phase

Question 5

Fibroblasts multiply rapidly to bridge the wound gap, secreting fiber-forming collagen

Answer 5

healing phase or proliferative phase

Question 6

As collagen density increases, the vascular makeup of the site decreases, reducing blood flow in the area so that the color of the site becomes closer to normal

Answer 6

maturation phase

Question 7

New cells form to replace cells that were damaged by injury

Answer 7

tensile strength

Question 8

The collagen re-forms into cross links that further increase tensile strength

Answer 8

maturation
