Q

Keratinocytes

A

Cells that synthesize keratin. They have 3 distinct stages in the epidermis- basal, prickle and granular. They travel superficially from basal layer they lose their organelles to make room from keratin. As a result they die.

Q

Describe how hair grows

A

Anagen phase - follicle is longest (growth phase)
Catagen phase - thick glassy membrane (transition)
Telogen- hair very short (rest). Hair is called club hair

New cells are constantly forming in the hair bulb. These cells stick together and harden. The full strand of hair develops from this group of hardened hair cells. Because new hardened cells keep on attaching to the hair from below, it is gradually pushed up out of the skin.

52
Q

Inflammation

A

Nonspecific response
Edema\
Clot formation
Phagocytosis

53
Q

Step 2 of healing

A

Organization - the formation of granulation tissue
Wound repair begins soon after injury
-Phagocytosis
-granulation tissue formed

54
Q

Step 3 of healing

A

Regeneration
Epithelization covers granulation tissue
Scab is pushed off
Granulation tissue becomes fibrous scar adhesions

55
Q

1st intention healing

A

Surgery to heal wound
Wounds close in apposition
No granulation of tissue

56
Q

2nd intention healing

A

Wound edges separated from each other
Scarring results
No surgery

57
Q

Ist stage of healing after injury

A

Inflammation - the body’s way of limiting damage to the tissue, isolating the injured area, and ridding the tissue of harmful agents.
An initial vasoconstriction of the vessels to control hemorrhage is followed by vasodilation of the vessels to increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissue.
Plasma leaks into the tissue from the blood vessels, causing
swelling of the tissue and the animal may show signs of pain at the injured area.
Clot formation begins to slow the bleeding.
Macrophages and neutrophils are brought to the site via the
blood vessels to help eliminate debris and harmful

58
Q

2nd stage of healing after injury

A

Organization
As neutrophils and macrophages work to rid the area of harmful agents and debris, fibroblasts begin to lay down collagen fibers and form granulation tissue (beneath the scab that develops on the surface).
The granulation tissue has many small capillaries that
provide the injured area with nutrients and oxygen.

59
Q

3rd stage of healing after injury

A

Epithelialization occurs as new epithelial tissue is laid down over the granulation tissue. As the epithelial layer thickens, the scab will be pushed off the surface of the skin. The granulation tissue is replaced by fibrous scar tissue, which contracts and apposes the wound edges
