wound healing Flashcards
skin protects against
UV
mechanical stress
chemicals
thermal insult
dehydration
pathogens
skin is used to sense
touch
pressure
heat
layers of skin
epidermis
dermis
hypodermis
the epidermis is ___ in origin
ectodermal
what cells make up the epidermis?
keratinocytes, langerhan cells and melanocytes
the thickness of the epidermis is inversely proportional to ___
hair covering
___ gives the epidermis a semi-permeable/protective barrier
keratin
which layer of the skin is avascular
epidermis
hair follicles, nails and sweat glands are in what part of the skin?
epidermis
invaginations of the epidermis into the dermis
dermis is composed largely of ___
dense irregular and loose connective tissue
collagen and elastic fiber
GAGs
what type of cells are found in the dermis
fibroblasts
adipocytes
vasculature and lymphatics
nerve endings
mast cells and histiocytes
hypodermis is made of ___ muscle
panniculus carnosus
where do you find the stratum adiposum subcutis
hypodermis
what are the 3 interconnected levels of cutaneous circulation
subdermal (subcutaneous plexus)- deep
cutaneous- middle
subpapillary- superficial
what is different between the blood supply for skin of a dog vs a primate
dermis supplied by parallel musculocutaneous arteries and veins
hypodermis supplied by direct cutaneous artery and vein
direct cutaneous artery and vein is found
superficial and deep to panniculus muscle and in the hypodermis of cats and dogs
the direct cutaneous artery and vein supply
the deep or subdermal plexus
superficial or deep to panniculus muscle
cutaneous plexus is found ___
in the dermis
formed from branches of the deep (subdermal plexus)
gives rise to the superficial plexus
___ is the major vascular network in skin of dogs and cats
deep/subdermal plexus
___ extends capillary loops to nourish the epidermis
superficial plexus
During dissection, to elevate the skin and preserve cutaneous vasculature, you must go between the ____ and the ___
subdermal plexus/ panniculus m.
underlying skeletal muscle
3 stages of healing
inflammation/debridement
repair / proliferation
maturation/ remodeling
Immediately after injury, ___ fills the wound and cleans the wound surface
hemorrhage
blood clot/ scab formation provides a ___, ___ wound edges and provides the substrate for ___
hemostatic plus, immediate barrier to infection and fluid loss
stabilizes wound edges
early reorganization of the wound (scaffold)
vascular phase initially starts with ___ then followed by ___ with recruitment of plasma and leukocytes
vasoconstriction
vasodilation
cellular/debridement phase starts ___ after injury
6ish hours
what cells in the cellular phase
lymphocytes and PMNs
monocytes/macrophages
platelets
mast cell and eosinophils
___ come during the inflammatory phase and concentrate at the site of injury to remove cellular debris and bacteria
lymphocytes and PMNs
what do macrophages do
eat cell debris
secrete chemoattractants and growth factors and cytokines (PDGF, VEGF)
___ induces vasoconstriction, platelet and neutrophil aggregation
Thromboxane A2
___ influence angiogenesis and fibroblast activity
mast cells
eosinophils mediate ___ and ___
angiogenesis and epithelial migration
___ is considered the lag phase of wound repair
initial (inflammation/debridement)
rapid increase in wound strength from collagen happens in the ____
first 3-5 days
3 main events of repair/proliferative phase
granulation tissue formation
wound contraction
epithelialization
