Chapter 14 - Wound Healing Flashcards
This is the first stage of Wound Healing. Days? Cells?
Inflammation
- Days 1-10
- Hemostasis - immediate, platelets
- Inflammation - PMNs, Macrophages
- Epithelialization - finishes ~2 days, 1-2mm/day
This is the second stage of wound healing. Days? cells?
Proliferation/Fibroplasia
- 5 days-3 weeks
- Fibroblasts - neovascularization; production of collagen and granulation tissue
This is the third stage of wound healing. Days? What happens?
Remodeling/Maturation
- 3 weeks to 1 year
- Type III collagen replaced with type I
- Collagen cross-linking occurs
- Remodeling
- Contraction
- Repigmentation
At what pace do peripheral nerves regenerate?
1mm/day
The order of cell arrival in a wound:
- Platelets
- PMNs
- Macrophages
- Fibroblasts
- Lymphocytes
What do macrophages do in wound healing?
essential for wound healing - release growth factors, cytokines, etc.
What do fibroblasts do in wound healing?
replace fibronectin-fibrin with collagen
What does fibronectin do in wound healing?
Chemotactic for macrophages
Anchors fibroblasts
Part of the provisional matrix
Besides hemostasis, what do thrombin and fibrin do in wound healing?
act as growth factors for endothelial cells and fibroblasts.
These are the primary cells in days 0-2
PMN’s
These are the primary cells in days 3-4
Macrophages
These are the primary cells in days 5 and on
Fibroblasts
What makes up the platelet plug?
Platelets and Fibrin
What makes up the provisional matrix (scaffold)?
platelets, fibrin, fibronectin
What is meant by accelerated wound healing, and when does it occur?
Reopening of a wound results in quicker healing the 2nd time, as cells are already present
Platelet Alpha granules contain what?
- Platelet Factor 4 - aggregation
- Beta Thrombomodulin - binds thrombin
- PDGF - chemoattractant
Dense granules of platelets contain what?
- Adenosine
- Serotonin
- Calcium
Platelet Aggregation factors include what?
- TXA2
- Thrombin
- Platelet factor 4
Where is platelet-activating factor released from?
Platelets
Where is transforming growth factor-alpha released from?
platelets
Where is fibroblast growth factor released from?
Platelets
Where is Beta Lysin released from and what does it do?
Platelets; antimicrobial
Where are PGE2 and PGI2 released from, and what do they do?
Platelets; Vasodilator
Where is PGF2 released from? What does it do?
Platelets; Vasoconstriction
Unepithelialized wounds leak what and promote what?
Leak serum and protein, promote bacteria colonization
The most important factor in healing closed incisions (primary intention) is what?
Tensile strength
