Study Notes
Wound Healing Cascades
- Wound healing involves overlapping, stereotypical events with coordinated cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions.
- Bleeding (minutes - 1 hour): Isolation from the environment by a fibrin clot (scab) prevents further loss of blood.
- Inflammation (continuous): Neutrophils, followed by macrophages, prevent infection/septicemia.
- Debridement (day 1): Macrophages eliminate damaged tissue through phagocytosis.
- Proliferation/Migration (day 3): Lost tissue is replenished by fibroblasts, new capillaries, and parenchymal cells.
Wound Healing Steps
- Epithelialization: Parenchyma regeneration occurs.
- Angiogenesis: Granulation tissue receives nutrition.
- Fibroplasia: Fibroblast invasion and matrix production.
- Remodeling: ECM (extracellular matrix) generation and degeneration.
- Contraction: Wound edges close.
- Resolution: Restoration of appearance and function.
Wound Healing Maturation
- Maturation: Collagen type III is replaced by collagen type I with a perpendicular orientation.
Tissue Regeneration – Basic Steps
- Tissue damage: Initial tissue disruption.
- Bacteria, if present: The need for protection from bacteria is essential in preventing infection.
- Tissue repair: The repair process will involve the creation of new tissue to replicate lost cells, with new tissue formed.
