epidermal and deep wound healing
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1 epidermal wound healing | Basal epidermal cells break contact with the basement membrane |
| 2 epidermal wound healing | Cells then enlarge and migrate across the wound |
| 3 epidermal wound healing | Continue to move until contact with like cell in made, contact inhibition |
| 4 epidermal wound healing | Cells will change direction until contact is made on all sides |
| deep wound healing | 4 phases |
| Inflammatory Phase: | blood and interstitial fluid are sent to the injury site and form blood clot (temporary fix). Mesenchymal cells develop into fibroblasts (form scar tissue). |
| Migratory phase | clot becomes a scab, epithelial cells migrate beneath the scab to bridge the wound. Fibroblasts form scar tissue damaged blood vessels begin to regrow. |
| Proliferative phase | extensive growth of epithelial cells beneath the scab, collagen fibers (from fibroblasts) form in random patterns |
| Maturation phase | scab comes off, collagen fibers become more organized and epidermis is restored to normal. |
| skin itching | caused by the release of histamines |
| wrinkles | aging = losing fat under the skin and thinning of the epidermis. |
| wrinkles | production of less sebum after menopause |
