Flashcards
Coagulation
Coagulation
Initial phase of wound healing where blood clots and a fibrin cloth is formed, isolating the wound from the environment.
Debridement
Debridement
The process of removing damaged tissue and debris from a wound. This phase involves the action of neutrophils and macrophages.
Proliferation and Migration
Proliferation and Migration
The process of rebuilding lost tissue, involving the growth of new cells and blood vessels.

Study Notes
Wound Healing Cascades
- Wound healing involves overlapping, stereotypical events.
- It's a coordinated interaction between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM).
- Bleeding (Coagulation): Isolation from the environment, forming a fibrin clot (scab) in minutes to 1 hour.
- Inflammation: Prevents infection/septicemia. Continuous neutrophils, then macrophages.
- Debridement: Elimination of damaged tissue, primarily by macrophages' phagocytosis, within a day.
- Proliferation and Migration: Replenishment of lost tissue by fibroblasts, new capillaries, and parenchyma, within 3 days.
Wound Healing Stages
- Epithelialization: Parenchyma regeneration.
- Angiogenesis: Provides nutrition to granulation tissue.
- Fibroplasia: Fibroblast invasion and matrix production.
- Remodeling: Breakdown and creation of the ECM; new collagen types (type I, oriented perpendicularly) replace older ones (type III).
- Contraction: Closing and tightening of wound edges.
- Resolution: Restoration of appearance and function. Maturation of collagen (from type III to type I, oriented perpendicularly).
Basic Steps of Tissue Regeneration (Implied)
- Tissue Damage: Initial injury.
- Bacteria Arrest: Bacteria presence is implicated; however, the detailed process isn't described in the text.
