What are langer lines the purpose?
determines tension and wrinkles in skin lines
What are langer lines made of?
Pattern distribution of Type I collagen fibers
Why is it important to know where langer lines are?
determines pace and nature of wound healing
What are the layers of the dermis?
Papillary and reticular
What is the papillary layer made up of?
loose connective tissue
How does it interact with the epidermis?

What is a first degree burn?
just epidermis destroyed
What is a second degree burn?
