  2. Proliferation
  3. Maturation
48
Q

Inflammation occurs in ________ days

A

1-4

49
Q

The proliferation phase of wound healing lasts for ___________

A

Up to 3 weeks

50
Q

Maturation process of wound healing lasts how long?

A

Up to 2 years

51
Q

What happens in the inflammation phase of wound healing?

A

Haemostasis, acute inflamm, then neuts and macs remove dead tissue and exudate

52
Q

A

Proliferation

53
Q

What happens during the proliferation phase of wound healing?

A

Granulation tissue fills the space

Involves fibroplasia and angiogenesis

Q

What is a granuloma?

A

Nodular structure formed by macrophages

A type of chronic inflammatory response

59
Q

What is granulation tissue?

A

proliferation of fibroblasts and capillaries formed during repair process

60
Q

A

Regen - necrotic tissue replaced by tissue similar to the original

Repair - injured tissue replaced by fibrous tissue

61
Q

A
  • Simple, uncomplicated healing
  • Occurs rapidly
  • Wounds have opposed edges

-ECM synthesized to fill gaps between opposed tissue

  • Leaves little trace of the wound

62
Q

Characteristics of 2nd intention healing?

A
  • Complicated healing
  • Reduced tensile strength
  • Fibrous tissue fills the defect (haphazard)

63
Q

________ stimulates proliferation and activation of fibroblasts which deposit collagen

A

TGF-beta from M2 macs

64
Q

Systemic factors leading to poor tissue repair?

A
  1. Malnutrition (Vit C deficiency in guinea pigs)
  2. Metabolic status (Ex: Diabetes mellitus)
