Q

What occurs during the first stage of the proliferation stage

Q

What does contraction refer to?

What is the process mediated by?

What stage of wound healing is this?

A

When the wound heals, the edges pull towards each other towards the center. This process is mediated by myofibroblasts.

This happens during the proliferation phase

27
Q

The process leading to the formation of the fibrin clot is called

A

hemostasis

28
Q

What is an important vitamin needed in the hemostasis stage

A

vitamin k- it activates factors 2,7,9,10

29
Q

Describe the residues look like on factors 2,7.9,10

A

the have glutamate residues that must be gamma carboxylated so they can interact with calcium so that they can interact with phospholipids.

30
Q

what is needed to activate factors 2,7, 9 ,10

A

vitamin K

31
Q

A personal has an abnormal prothrombin time what does that indicate

A

it indicates vitamin k deficient . Basically this means that the prothrombin time will be elevated and they will have prolonged bleeding

32
Q

a condition that makes someone at high risk for vitamin k deficiney is ,…

A

cystic fibrosis

33
Q

What part of a person having cystic fibrosis makes them at higher risk for increased prothrombin time

A

they have an increased prothrombin time because they have clogged ducts which makes it more difficult for fat-soluble vitamins to be released

34
Q

How does warfarin work

A

it is an inhibitior of one of the enzyme that is required to regenerate vitamin K

35
Q

What specific enzyme does warfarin inhibit

A

vitamin K epoxide reductase

36
Q

an example of a vitamin k antagonist is

A

warfarin

37
Q

warfarin inhibits formation of __________ in factors 2,7,9,10 because they are vitamin ___ dependent

A

gama carboxy glutamate

k

38
Q

Angiogenesis is initiated by

A

fibroblasts

39
Q

A chronic wound is usually arrested in what stage

A

inflammatory stage

40
Q

infected wounds heal by what intention

A

tertiary

41
Q

describe what wound healing by secondary intention means

A

heal by granulation - burns pressure ulcers, wounds with large peices of missing skin - RISK OF INFECTION

42
Q

what does an infected wound look like

A

reddish coloration angry looking,

43
Q

symptoms of vitamin c deficiency

A

ecchymoses (discoloration of skin), skin hemmorhages, loose teeth, scurvy , poor wound healing

44
Q

How is vitamin c related to poor wound healing

A

vitamin c plays a role because it plays a critical role in the hydoxylation of proline and glycine.

45
Q

List 4 important minerals that are needed for wound healing

A

Fe, Cu, Zn, Se

46
Q

a person has an inability to taste and smell, what deficifny do they likely have

A

zinc deficiency

47
Q

In which phase of wound healing does zinc play a role

A

in the inflammatory phase- if there is a deficiency it leads to impaired phagocytosis in macrophages and neutrophils.

48
Q

What is the function of collagenase and what vitamin is required

A

collagenase destroys collagen type 3 . In remodeling type 3 is replaced by type 1

49
Q

what produces fibroblast growth factors

A

macrophages

50
Q

What kind of collegen is seen in the granulation phase

A

type 3

51
Q

contraction is mediated by

A

myofibroblasts

52
Q

What are the 4 phases of the proliferative phase

A
  1. Granulation
  2. Angiogenesis
  3. Contraction
  4. Epithelization
53
Q

In the absense of _________a wound can not be considered healed

A

re-epithelization

54
Q

In the remodeling phase collogen is remodeled from type ___ to type ___

A

type 3 to type 1

55
Q

Type 1 collegen is layed down during which stage of wound healing?

A
56
Q

What does a chronic wound mean

A

it has arrested in one of the wound healing stages

57
Q

What is the function of fibroblast growth factors

A

fibroblast growth factors enhance proliferation and recruitment of macrohphages and fibroblasts

58
Q

What is the role of vitamin c in wound healing and what phase is it important in

A

it is a cofactor for prolyl and lysly hydroxylases for proline during the proliferative phase
