Question
Answer
A vascular superficial layer that is the outer, protective layer   Epidermis  
🗑
Manufactures Vitamin D (which is manufactured by the sun)   Epidermis  
🗑
Second layer of the skin   Dermis  
🗑
Gives skin structure, texture, substance, flexibility and strength   - Collegen - Reticulum - Elastin  
🗑
Responsible for collagen synthesis and wound healing   Fibroblasts  
🗑
Responsible for fluid and microbial removal   Lymphatic glands  
🗑
Responsible for nutrients and thermoregulation   Blood vessels  
🗑
Contains mast cells for inflammatory responses as well as macrophages (engulfing/repairing cells)   Dermis  
🗑
Layer of skin the attaches skin to underlying tissue and organ   Hypodermis (Subcutaneous layer)  
🗑
Sweat Glands contains   - Eccrine - Apocrine  
🗑
Eccrine   Regulates Body temperature  
🗑
Apocrine   - Produces body odor  
🗑
Skin dryness   Xerosis  
🗑
Actinic lentigo   Brown spot of aging  
🗑
What is released in response to injury?   - Prostaglandins - Histamine  
🗑
Systemic response to infection include   Elevated temp, chills, fever, malaise, fatigue, lymph node swelling, leukocytosis (WBC > 10,000), poor appetite, positive wound/blood cultures  
🗑
Labs to monitor inflammation   WBC, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP)  
🗑
Vitamins that aid in tissue healing   A, B, C and K  
🗑
Primary (1st) intention healing   Shortened phase Closed/uncomplicated/clean wound Initial (inflammatory) phase Scar contraction/maturation phase 7 days and continues several months Thin scar  
🗑
Secondary intention healing   Granulation/contraction Deeper tissue injury or wound Irregular wound margins Greater inflammatory response with more debris/cells/exudate Healing takes place from inside out More granulation tissue/larger wound Takes longer to heal  
🗑
Tertiary (3rd) intention healing   Delayed suturing of wound Contaminated wound left open Primary wound infected, reopened surgically High risk for infection Large, deeper scar  
🗑
Phases of wound healing   Physiological process Inflammatory phase Proliferative phase Remodeling phase  
🗑
Serous fluid   Thin, clear of slightly yellow  
🗑
Serosanguinous fluid   Mixture of both clear and bloody exudate; pink  
🗑
Sanguineous fluid   Both serum and red blood cells, thicker reddish appearance  
🗑
Purulent   WBCs, tissue debris and bacteria Thick, different color--brown, green, yellow drainage May have odor--abnormal  
🗑
Proliferative/Maturation phase = repair phase   Granulation tissue and epithelial cells form Scar formation usually occurs  
🗑
Partial thickness wounds (Stage II)   Damage to epidermis and upper latter of dermis Heals by re-epithelialization within 5 to 7 days Skin injury immediately followed by local inflammation  
🗑
Full thickness wounds (Stage III or IV)   Damage to lower layers of dermis and subcutaneous tissue Removal of tissue results in defect, fills with granulation Bone, tendon and muscle exposed  
🗑
