Top layer of the epidermis - Answer stratum corneum
bottom layer of epidermis - Answer stratum basale
Purpose of stratum corneum - Answer Protects underlying cells and tissues from dehydration
and entry of fluids
what do the cells in the stratum hassle do? - Answer divide, multiply, and migrate toward the
epidermal surface
What lies below the epidermis and provides tensile strength and protection for the underlying
muscles, bones, and organs - Answer dermis
the only distinctive cell type in the dermis and are responsible for collagen formation - Answer
fibroblasts
what protects the patient from invading organisms - Answer intact skin
disruption of the integrity and function of tissue in the body - Answer wound
types of wounds - Answer surgical incision, abrasion, puncture/penetrating injury, avulsion,
crush injury, blunt force trauma, and ulcer
caused by a trauma or a surgical incision. The wound edges are clean and intact - Answer
acute
Wound that fails to proceed through an orderly and timely process to produce anatomical and
functional integrity - Answer chronic
what events happen after an injury occurs - Answer control blood loss, establish bacterial

How do partial thickness wounds heal? - Answer epidermal regeneration
wound extends into the dermis and will heal by scar formation - Answer full thickness
wound repair
How does a full thickness wound heal? - Answer forming new tissue
what are the 4 phases of the healing process - Answer hemostasis, inflammatory,
proliferative, maturation
when injured blood vessels constrict and platelets gather to stop the bleeding - Answer
hemostasis
in hemostasis what is formed to provide the framework for cellular repair - Answer fibrin
matrix
mast cells secrete histamine initiating vasodilation of surrounding capillaries and movement of

symptoms of the inflammatory phase - Answer redness, edema, warmth, and throbbing pain
reconstruction progresses and new blood vessels appear through angiogenesis - Answer
proliferative phase
