1
Q

Phases of healing

A

Inflammation and repair and remodeling

Decrease excessive blood loss
Confine injurious agent

Q

Inflammation

A

Vasodilation- increases blood flow and pressure

Capillary permeability
Exudate - movement of plasma in proteins from blood vessels to injured tissue

Edema
Endothelial cells to retract and create gaps
Fluid plasma, proteins, neutrophils, migrate out of vessels into interstitial space

(Neutrophils slip through gaps and walk out of the vessel - diapedesis- to the toxic agent)

Q

Tissue damage

A

CS
Lysosomal enzymes

22
Q

Arachidonic acid derivatives

A

Cyclooxygenase pathway
Lipoxygenase pathway

23
Q

Cyclooxygenase pathway

A

Prostaglandins cause inflammation, swelling pain and fever
Thromboxanes clot formation
Aspirin and NSAIDs inhibitory affect

24
Q

Lipoxygenase pathway

A

Leukotrienes
Active leukocytes
mediators of asthmatic and allergic response

25
Q

Effusion

A

Transudate
Exudate

26
Q

Transudate

A

Clear, low protein, low white blood cells. Non-inflammatory.
This is because of hydrostatic pressure

27
Q

Exudate

A

Inflammatory
Higher protein
Leukocytes
Classified into subtypes

28
Q

Beneficial effects of the fluid exudate

A

Dilution of toxins
Entry of antibodies into the extravascular space
Transport
Breaks through the fibrin barrier
Deliver of nutrients and oxygen
Stimulation of immune response

29
Q

Sanguineous

A

Presence of blood
Hematoma

30
Q

Serous

A

Thin clear, yellow

Joint effusion, blisters

31
Q

Serosanguineous

A

Blood tinged
A combination of serous and sanguineous

32
Q

Purulent

A

Viscous cloudy, puss with cellular debris
Abscess

38
Q

39
Q

Regeneration and repair

A

Regeneration -Regrowth of original tissue
Repair - Formation of scar tissue
Immature scar - read, raised, rigid
Mature scar - pale, planar or pliable

40
Q

Remodeling phase

A

May extend to a year or more

After three weeks 15% tensile strength

Maximal scar strength is 80% of the unwounded skin

41
Q

Angiogenesis and neovascularization

A

Within two days of injury
Endothelial cell proliferation
Growth of new blood vessels to support metabolism
Dominates the proliferative phase
granulation tissue was formed

Contain mainly endothelial cells and fibroblast

Newly formed tissue and capillary net work is pale pink

More mature, tissue and capillary vessels are beefy red

42
Q

Tissue matrix

Fibroblast proliferate
Matrix- by fibrin and fibronectin
