16
Q

primary function of coagulation

A
  • platelet aggregate
  • clot formation
  • vasoconstriction
  • cytokines to site
17
Q

primary function of inflammatory

A

clean up debris

18
Q

primary function of proliferative phase

A
  • angiogenesis
  • epithelialization
  • contraction
19
Q

primary function of remodeling phase

A

new collagen = increase tensile strength

20
Q

key players in inflammatory phase

A
  • mast cells
  • macrophages
  • neutrophils
21
Q

how is the cross linking of fibronectin and fibrin important throughout the whole would healing process

A

creates a barrier to control bleeding and bacteria

22
Q

which growth factors are responsible for ECM formation

A
  • platelet derived growth factor
  • epidermal growth factor
  • transforming growth factor
23
Q

what nutritional supplements are important for collagen synthesis

A
  • protein
  • zinc
  • vitamin A, C
24
Q

difference in dark female facial skin

A
  • less atrophied area in epidermis
  • minimal loss of elasticity
  • more collagen fibers
  • more, larger fibroblast
25
Q

what cells are present in the epidermis

A
  • keratinocytes
  • melanocytes
  • Langerhan cells
  • merkel cells
26
Q

list the epidermal appendages and why are they important in wound healing

A
  • sebaceous glands
  • sweat glands
  • apocrine glands
  • mammary glands
  • hair follicles

important source of epithelia cells

27
Q

list the type of tissue present in dermis

A
  • collagen

- elastic fibers

28
Q

what are rete ridges and what happens during aging

A
  • downward projections from the epidermis interlocks with upward projections form the dermis
  • decrease 50% with aging increase risk of skin tears
29
Q

list what to look for in lotions

A
  • glycerin
  • dimethicone
  • water
  • fatty acids
