Q

Describe 4 stages of homeostasis in wound healing and how long after the injury this phase occurs

A

the homeostasis phase begins 0 to 24 hours after damage or injury

  1. Ruptured cells release inflammatory factors that causes the blood vessel to vasoconstriction.

2.Platelets aggregate to form temporary platelet clot within 60 Seconds

  1. these platelets release chemicals and activate the secondary fibrin clot and the clotting cascade.

4.These platelets release chemicals such as serotonin, prostaglandins and histamin which causes vasodilation and increased capillary permeability.

Q

Describe the inflammatory phase and the 3 steps involved and when
disturbed occurs after injury

A

This stage can a curse 0 to 4 days after damage

  1. Neutrophils are first to the site of injury in jesting bacteria and cell debris.

2.After 24hrs macrophages are released and enter the wound area they ingest debris and release growth factors that are needed for new epithelium cells blood vessels as well as attracting fibroblasts.

3.Blood plasma accumulates causing swelling and pain at site of wound.

Q

Describe the 3 steps in the proliferation phase and the time period occurs in

A

It occurs between 3 days to 3 weeks of the injury.

1.Firbroblasts enter the wound site then granulated tissue begins to form and capillaries grow across the wound bringing nutrients to the wound for healing

2.epithelial tissue is light pink in colour and usually migrates inward from the wound margins but can appear in spots over the surface of the wound.

  1. The final step in the proliferation phase is collagen synthesis and accumulation.

Q

Describe the remodelling stage as well as the when it started and after injury (2 steps)

A

This is the final stage of wound healing collagen is remodelled strengthening wound.

New collagen continues to be deposited which compressors blood vessels in the wound so that scar tissue eventually becomes a flat and thin white line.
