ST And Bone Healing Flashcards
What are the 4 stages of healing?
1) Hemostasis & degradation
2) inflammation
3) Proliferation
4) Maturation
What is hemostatic response?
Sealing off of blood vessels causing clot to form.
What do growth factors do (GF)?
Summon inflammatory cells to tissue
Severely damaged cells
Necrosis
Coordinated reaction of body tissue to cell injury
Inflammation phase (days 1-6)
Inflammation phase includes
- vascular response
- humoral response
- neuro response
- cellular response
What happens in vascular response
1) vasodilation from chemical mediators (histamine)
2) fluid migration -> edema
3) Hemoconcentration
4) WBC accumulation
^ viscosity slows blood flow
Hemoconcentration
Complement system activated via antibody-antigen association
Humoral response
What happens in complement system
1) ^ vascular permeability
2) Stimulate phagocytosis
3) Act as chemostatic stimuli
Kills and removes injurious agent
Cellular response
Activate inflammatory mediators
T lymphocytes
Plasma cells that produce antibodies to bacteria to prepare for phagocytosis
B cells
Engulf dead cells
Macrophages
Phase of healing days 3-20
Proliferation
4 processes in proliferation phase
1) neovascularization
2) epithelialization
3) collagen production
4) Wound contraction
Presence of macrophages stimulate release of GF
Neovascularization
Secrete proteins to reconstitute ecm and provide framework
Fibroblast
Covers wound surface
Epithelialization
Epitheliazation provide protective barrier to
- prevent fluid/electrolyte loss
- decrease risk of infection
Creat collagen
Fibroblast
