Q
  1. What are the three phases in the healing process? How long does each phase last?
A

Answer: Healing of soft tissues is a three-phase process: inflammatory (0 to 6 days), proliferative (3 to 21 days), and maturation (up to 1+ year). These processes overlap both spatially and temporally.

Q
  1. What is the significance of vasoconstriction in the first phase of the healing process?
A

Answer: By causing a reduction in the volume of blood flow in the region, an increase in blood viscosity, or resistance to the flow, the vasoconstriction reduces blood loss at the injury site.

Q

What is the significance of the activation of the coagulation cascade in the first phase of the healing process?

A

Answer: It initiates the formation of a clot by converting fibrinogen molecules into fibrin.

Q
  1. What is phagocytosis?
A

Answer: Phagocytosis is the process of removing debris and infectious agents from the injury site. White blood cells surround and digest foreign particles, such as bacteria, necrotic tissue, and foreign particles.

Q
  1. What are mast cells? What is their significance in the healing process?
A

Answer: Mast cells are connective tissue cells that carry heparin and histamine. They promote vasodilation.

Q
  1. Explain the significance of angiogenesis and fibroplasia in the proliferative phase of healing.
A

Answer: Angiogenesis is the development of new blood vessels. Fibroplasia is the process of fibrous tissue formation. Fibroplasia and angiogenesis are interdependent processes that stabilize the wound site.

Q
  1. Describe the strength of the healing tissue at 3 to 4 weeks postinjury and 3 to 4 months postinjury?
A

Answer: The tensile strength of the wound at 3 to 4 weeks is only approximately 25% of normal. After several more months, strength may still be as much as 30% below preinjury strength.

Q

Describe scar tissue. What is the significance of movement in the remodeling phase?

A

Answer: Scar tissue is fibrous, inelastic, and nonvascular. It is less strong and less functional than the original tissues. The strength of the scar is enhanced through movement because collagen fibers become oriented along the lines of mechanical stress to which the tissue is subjected.

Q

10.What role do growth factors play in the healing process?

A

Answer: Growth factors are proteins that play crucial roles during all three phases of the healing process. Their functions include attracting cells to the wound, stimulating their proliferation, and directing the deposition of the extracellular matrix.
