4. Excretion of sweat
5. Vitamin D syntheses

| Phases of normal wound healing: What is the first phase? (How many days?) | Inflammatory Phase. Days 1-10. Goals: reestablish homeostasis through platelet activation and clotting cascade. WBC establish a clean wound bed which triggers epithelialization (usually 24 hrs @ wound boarders)
🗑
|
||||
| Phases of normal wound healing: What is the second phase? (How many days?) | Proliferative phase (3-21 days): Formation of new tissue signals the beginning of this phase. Granulation tissue fills the wound bed which creates the support structure for migration of epithelial cells. Wound contraction and wound closure occurs here.
🗑
|

| Phases of normal wound healing: What is the third phase? (How many days?) | Maturation (days 7- 2 years): "Remodeling phase" Granulation tissue and epithelial differentation begin to appear in the wound bed. Fiber reorganization and contraction shrink the wound and thin the scar. Scar tissue is remodeled and strengthened.

| Acute Wounds: Incisional wound | most often assoc with surgery and is created intentionally
🗑

||||
| Acute Wounds: Laceration | (irregular tear of tissues) associated with trauma, can result from shear, tension, or high force compression with the resultant wound characteristics dependent on how it happened.
🗑
|
||||
| Acute Wounds: Penetrating wound | results from various mechanisms of injury and is described as a wound that enters the interior of an organ or cavity.
🗑
|
||||
| Acute Wounds: Puncture | Sharp pointed object penetrates the skin and underlying tissues.
🗑
|
||||
| Acute Wounds: Skin Tear | results from trauma to fragile skin (eg: bumping an object, adhesive removal, shear or friction forces.)
🗑
|

| Arterial Insufficiency Ulcers: What general recommendations exist for PTs/PTAs? | Have the patient:
Rest, protect limb, education on risk reduction, avoid unecessary leg elevation, heating pads or soaking feet in hot water, wear good shoes/clean socks
Therapist should:
inspect legs and feet daily
