Questions and Answers

Good blood supply, or profusion, can be detrimental to wound healing if it is persistent.

True (A)

Chronic inflammation is defined as inflammation lasting more than 14 minutes.

False (B)

Increased capillary permeability during inflammation can lead to swelling as well as PHP and POP.

True (A)

During inflammation, blood vessels constrict, leading to decreased blood supply to the affected area.

Localized, generalized, and regionalized are all types of tissue necrosis.

The stages of acute wound healing do not overlap, which is why wound progression is always very predictable.

The primary purpose of hemostasis is to prevent blood loss and prevent the growth of bacteria.

<p>False (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers

Inflammation begins during hemostasis, after the platelet plug is formed.

The proliferation phase of wound healing involves cleaning of debris by the body, which includes the preparation of the wound so that additional tissue can grow.

<p>True (A)</p> Signup and view all the answers

Fibroblasts deposit collagen, and epithelial cells cover the new wound during the proliferation stage. Endothelial cells help to form new walls of the wounds.

Flashcards

Inflammation Prerequisite

Necessary for wound healing; good blood supply equals profusion.

Signs of Inflammation

Redness, swelling, heat, pain, loss of function.

Inflammation Extent

Localized, generalized, or regionalized, based on the extent of the injury.

Wound Healing Process

Process is consistent; phases may overlap during acute healing.

Hemostasis

Begins immediately; stops blood loss (vessel constriction, platelet plug); activates clotting cascade.

Inflammation Phase

Begins during hemostasis; lasts 3-7 days (acute); prevents infection; prepares the site for repair.

Proliferation

Repair with granulation tissue, fibroblasts (collagen), and new epithelium; begins during inflammation around day 3.

Study Notes

  • Exam 2 Review

Inflammation

  • Necessary for wound healing
  • Good blood supply is necessary = Profusion (0)
    • Beneficial, but detrimental if persistent
    • Chronic => 14 days

Signs

  • Redness
  • Swelling (capillary permeability is increased as well, PHP, POP)
  • Heat
  • Pain (chemical release)
  • Loss of function
  • Increase in blood vessels dilate

Inflammation Definition

  • Inflammation means localized, generalized, and regionalized

Wound Healing

  • Always the same process
  • Stages for acute, overlap of the stages

Hemostasis

  • Begins immediately
  • Prevents blood loss (vessels constrict, platelet plug formed)
  • Activates clotting cascade

Inflammation

  • Begins during hemostasis
  • Lasts about 3-7 days (acute)
  • Prevents infection and "cleans up" for repair
  • "Clearing trees" for "building sites"

Proliferation

  • Repair with formation of granulation tissue
  • Fibroblasts (collagen), epithelial (cover wound), endothelial (new cap) (angiogenesis)
  • Begins during inflammation around day 3
  • Lasts 2-3 weeks
