Q

Significance of cleavage lines/tension lines/Langer’s lines?

A

The lines correspond to natural orientation of collage fibers and are generally parallel to orientation of underlying muscle fibers.

Useful for when doctor’s need to cut through skin. They wanna cut according to the lines to help healing go faster.

Q

What happens during the repair/proliferation phase of wound healing?

A

Wound contracts and damaged edges of skin start to move closer together.
Epithelial cells proliferate to cover wound; fibroblasts make collagen to close wound and makes a scar.

What are shingles?

A

A viral disease that takes advantage of axonal transport (from sensory neurons to skin). Stems from childhood infection (chicken pox) where virus is transported from skin lesions to cell bodies of dorsal root ganglion. When immune system is weakened, the viruses multiply and come back through sensory axons to skin. This causes rash!
