CH.3 Flashcards
(36 cards)
Three steps of wound repair
Inflammation of the area, granulation tissue forms, regeneration and fibrosis effect causes permanent repair
Fibrosis
Scar tissue
Regeneration
repairs the wound with the same cells
Inflammation
blood cells come to the area, blood clot occurs to wall of wound
Regeneration and Fibrosis
blood clot falls off, tissue pulls back together
Tissues that regenerate easily
epithelial and connective tissues
Tissues that regenerate poorly
Skeletal muscles
Tissues that are mostly replaced with scar tissue
Cardiac muscles and nervous tissue within the brain and spinal cord
Parietal layer
most superficial
Visceral layer
deep layer
Serous fluid
fluid between parietal and visceral layers
Integument System purpose
protects the body, cushions and insulates deep body organs, aids in thermoregulation (body heat), aids in excretion of urea and uric acids, synthesizes vitamin D
Thin skin
four layers–minus the lucidum layer
Thick skin
five layers, includes lucidum. Palms and soles
Skin layers from deep to superficial
Basale, Spinosum, Granulosum, lucidum, corneum
Melanin pigment
yellow to brown black, genetic or exposure to sunlight
Carotene pigment
orange/yellow color, caused by certain vegetables
Hemoglobin pigment
redness coloration that is more pronounced with higher oxygen
Burn Dangers
allow bacteria to invade, body fluid loss–water and electrolyte inbalances, protein denaturization
Rule of 9-Burns
body is divided into 11 sections, 9% to quickly assess damage
Critical burns
30% 2nd degree, 10% 3rd or 4th, burns to face, hands, feet or genitals, burns close to airways
Basal Cell Carcinoma
affects stratum basal, appears shiny and dome shaped
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
affects stratum Spinosum, appears red and scaly
Malignant Melanoma
affects melanocytes, dark and quickly appearing
