Q

All wound healing involves _____, even without an infection

A

inflammatory reaction

163
Q

Occurs when the wound margins are NOT pulled together:

A

healing by secondary intention

164
Q

Ex. Tumor on hard palate- not a lot of tissue here so can’t close if after biopsy; let ope wound fill in with granulation tissue- endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and myofibroblasts

Healing occurs by:

A

secondary intention

A

Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy)

169
Q

In wound healing, why is vitamin C important?

A

Vitamin C is required for the hydroxylation of proline and lysin (forms collagen)
