The subsequent excavation in the epithelium is known as an ulcer

A

Ulcerative inflammation (Ulcers)

146
Q

The inevitable physiologic changes of the skin that occur with time and are influenced by genetic and hormonal factors

Not preventable and happens to everyone

A

Intrinsic Aging

147
Q

The preventable structural and functional changes of the skin that occur with exposure to:

A

Environmental factors

Lifestyle (tobacco, ETOH, illicit drugs)

Social determinants

Elective Cosmetic surgeries

148
Q

Most important source of preventable extrinsic aging is:

A

Ultraviolet radiation

149
Q

Epidermal Aging starts between what ages?

A

30 & 80

150
Q

Aging

Epidermal turnover rate decreases by ___% which decreases wound repair capacity

A

30-50%

151
Q

Epidermal Aging

Overall thinning of unexposed epidermis by ____% which makes it easier to cause injury to underlying tissues

A

10-50%

152
Q

Epidermal Aging

Decrease in number and function of melanocytes by ___% per decade which causes an elevated risk of skin cancer in the elderly

A

20%

153
Q

Epidermal Aging

Reduction in number and responsiveness of ________ cells cause weakened cutaneous immunity in the elderly

A

Langerhans cells

154
Q

Reduction of collagen fiber production enhances rate and amount of UV exposure

Reduction of elastin fiber production

Decreased skin hydration and characteristic elderly xerosis (dry skin)

A

Dermal Aging

155
Q

The restoration of tissue architecture after injury encompasses two separate processes:

A

Regeneration

Replacement

156
Q

Damaged tissue is completely restored

A

Regeneration

157
Q

Severely damaged or non-regenerable tissue is repaired by laying down connective tissue, resulting in scarring

A

Replacement

158
Q

Most rapidly regenerating and repairing tissue and has capacity for continuous renewal

A

Epithelial Tissue

159
Q

Adequate renewal capacity; slower than epithelial tissues and prone to hyperproliferation (scarring)

A

Connective Tissue

160
Q

Relatively poor capacity for renewal. Tissue does not divide rapidly enough to replace extensively damaged fibers

A

Muscular Tissue

161
Q

Poorest capacity for renewal because it does not undergo mitosis to replace damaged neurons

A

Nervous Tissue

162
Q

Inflammatory phase occurs ___ days post injury

A

1-3 days

163
Q

Serves mainly to clear bacteria and debris from the wound and to prepare wound environment for repair

A

Inflammatory phase

164
Q

Forms in the injured space providing hemostasis and inducing both cellular and chemical inflammatory responses

A

Platelet and Fibrin clots

165
Q

Release chemical mediators causing local capillary vasodilation increasing permeability and augmenting local blood flow and migration of inflammatory cells to the injury area

A

Mast Cells

166
Q

Phagocytose cellular debris, bacteria, and foreign material, and release multiple factors that further the inflammatory reaction

After they are done, they are removed via physical sloughing or are phagocytosed themselves by macrophages

A

Neutrophils

167
Q

Proliferative phase occurs ___ days post injury

A

2 to 10 days

168
Q

Purpose is to construct granulation tissue to fill the defect caused by the wound

Fibroblasts are the major cellular agent in this phase and produce Type III collagen to provide structural integrity to the new tissue

A

Proliferative phase

169
Q

Provides contractile force to minimize wound surface area during healing. Once enough extracellular matrix has been laid done most fibroblasts undergo apoptosis

A

Collagen

170
Q

Healing “Early Remodeling” Phase occurs ___ weeks post injury

A

2-3 weeks

171
Q

Healing “Late Remodeling” Phase occurs how long post injury?

A

Months to > 1 year

172
Q

Late Remodeling Phase

The Type III collagen laid down by the fibroblasts is replaced with Type ___ collagen and collagen fibrils become more organized

A

Type I

173
Q

Tensile strength of the wound at 3 weeks post injury

A

20%

174
Q

Tensile strength of the wound at 6 weeks post injury

A

70-80%

175
Q

Relies on dermal edges that are close together and easily approximated

Ex: Sutures, staples, dermal adhesive

A

Primary Intention

176
Q

Relies on formation of granulation tissue to fill the space between the wound opening or edges

A

Secondary Intention
