with components of the extracellular matrix?
- answers-1. Cadherins

- answers-Langerhan's cells

What is/are the primary cell type(s) of the stratum basale?
- answers-Keratinocytes, Melanocytes, Merkel cells

What is/are the primary cell type(s) of the stratum granulosum?
- answers-Corneocytes (terminally differentiated keratinocytes)

What is/are the primary cell type(s) of the stratum corneum?
- answers-Dead keratinocytes

,What is/are the primary cell type(s) of the dermis?
- answers-Fibroblasts, Mast cells, Macrophages, Lymphocytes

Tissue loss includes only the epidermis.
- answers-Superficial

Tissue loss includes the epidermis and part of the dermis.
- answers-Partial thickness

Tissue loss includes the epidermis and all of the dermis.
- answers-Full thickness

Tissue loss includes subcutaneous tissues.
- answers-Subdermal

When does hemostasis or coagulation occur during the stages of healing?
- answers-Immediately after tissue injury

When does inflammation occur during the stages of healing?
- answers-0-4 days

When does proliferation occur during the stages of healing?
- answers-4-21 days

How long can remodeling last?
- answers-Up to 2 years

What are the key cells of hemostasis?
- answers-Platelets

What are the key cells of inflammation?
- answers-Neutrophils, Macrophages

What are the key cells of proliferation?
- answers-Fibroblasts, Epithelial cells, Endothelial cells, Macrophages

What are the key cells of remodeling?
- answers-Fibroblasts

,What produces PDGF?
- answers-Platelets and macrophages

What stimulates fibroblasts?
- answers-Platelet Derived Growth Factor

What is an integrin?
- answers-A cell surface receptor that enables cells to interact with components of the ECM

What secretes MMPs and TIMPs?
- answers-Keratinocytes and fibroblasts

What regulates the activity of MMPs?
- answers-TIMPs

Fibroblasts play a key role in the extracellular matrix deposition of which types of proteins?
- answers-Collagen
Elastin
Reticulin
Proteoglycans
Glycosaminoglycans

Myofibroblasts secrete which type of collagen?
- answers-Type I

Which type of collagen is primarily found in uninjured tissue?
- answers-Type I

Which type of collagen is primarily found in wounds in the proliferative phase of wound
healing?
- answers-Type III

What is the transitional marker between the inflammatory and proliferative phases of healing?
- answers-Macrophage migration into the wound site

Which cells are the last to arrive during the proliferative phase?
- answers-T lymphocytes
