- dermis
- Subcutaneous
True or False:
The epidermis is avascular
true
True or false:
The dermis is avascular
False
The epidermis is avascular
What are the key functions of the integumentary system
protection
sensation
thermoregulation

vitamin D synthesis
What are the phases of normal wound healing and how long do they last
- Inflammatory phase: 1-10 days
- Proliferative phase: 3-21 days
- Maturation phase: 7 days to 2 years
Name the phase of normal wound healing
Hemostasis is rapidly re-established through platelet activation and the clotting cascade. Necrotic tissue and bacterial debris are killed by mast cells, neutrophils, and leukocytes. Epithelization occurs within 24 hours.
Inflammatory phase
Which cells are involved in killing bacteria, necrotic tissue, and debris in the inflammatory phase of normal wound healing
neutrophils, leukocytes, and mast cells
Which phase of normal wound healing does epithelialization occur in
inflammatory phase
What happens during the inflammatory phase of normal wound healing
Hemostasis is rapidly re-established through platelet activation and the clotting cascade. Necrotic tissue and bacterial debris are killed by mast cells, neutrophils, and leukocytes. Epithelization occurs within 24 hours.
Name the phase of normal wound healing:
Capillary buds and granulation tissue begin to fill the wound bed. Keratinocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts form the collagen matrix. Skin integrity is restored
Proliferative phase
Which cells are involved in forming the collagen matrix to restore skin integrity during the proliferative phase of normal wound healing
Fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells
Which phase is skin integrity restored during normal wound healing
proliferative phase
What happens during the proliferative phase of normal wound healing
Capillary buds and granulation tissue begin to fill the wound bed. Keratinocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts form the collagen matrix. Skin integrity is restored
Name the phase of normal wound healing
Granulation tissue and epithelial differentiation appear in the wound bed and through fiber reorganization and contractions, the scar from the wound starts to shrink
maturation or remodeling phase
What percentage of pre-injury tensile strength does newly repaired tissue have
15%
Overtime it will reach 80% of pre-injury tensile strength
True or False:
Hypertrophic scarring does not affect the maturation phase of normal wound healing
False, it greatly impacts it. Especially burn scars
A burn scare without hypertrophic scarring will heal in ___-___ weeks.
A burn with hypertrophic scarring may heal up to ____ years
4-8 weeks
2 years
