Study Notes
Wound Healing Process
- The wound-healing process consists of predictable phases.
Factors Affecting Wound Healing
- Formation of non-healing chronic wounds can be led by factors such as diabetes, smoking, poor nutrition, and vascular disease.
Skin Function
- A protective barrier against the external environment in undamaged skin is formed by the stratum corneum, which is the outermost layer of the epidermis.
Repair Stage of Wound Healing
- The repair stage of the wound-healing process involves the repair of the damage through a regulated sequence of biochemical events.
Tissue Replacement
- The term for the replacement of destroyed or damaged tissue by newly produced tissue in a living organism is regeneration.
