the appropriate statement about healing wounds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wound healing is an intricate process in which the skin (or another organ-tissue) repairs itself after injury.[

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

Tremendous advancements have been made in understanding the processes of wound healing. The cell types and the order in which they appear in the wound have been established; many growth factors and their functions have been elucidated. Despite the advances in understanding the science of wound healing, many more steps have yet to be discovered and elucidated. The frontier of this field includes the prevention of hypertrophic and keloid scar formation and, ultimately, any visual remnant of the wound. An incision created by a scalpel, trauma resulting from a bullet, or tissue death caused by a myocardial infarction all undergo a similar and predictable reparative process. Understanding how the body repairs damaged tissue and what factors influence the wound healing process helps the surgeon ensure an acceptable outcome from surgery. Tissue injury is common thread to every medical specialty. Wound healing in any tissue follows a predictable sequence of events. A broad understanding of the sequence of events, cells involved, relative time table, and molecular signaling can allow for maximum optimization of this important patient care issue. Although seemingly basic in concept, advances in molecular science have allowed modern medicine to gain a true appreciation of the complex interplay between the cells involved in the phases of wound healing. As greater understanding of the growth factors involved in wound healing emerges, future patient care may include scarless wound healing and transplant of tissues engineered from stem cell progenitors.

thank you beccaboo333

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

No problem. I passed biology with a 98% same with the other classes. so yeah glad to help :)

smart girl

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

You can say that haha, i just never did group work and payed attention.. it was a 36 week long course. I finished it in 19 weeks

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

I wanted to be done my science classes. but i remember them well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woow thats something you see everyday. nut am glad i met you. oh by the way am Latino.

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

if youre going to talk personal stuff then message me in the message area and not where everyone can see what you say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i haven't got that far yet.

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

where theres the envelope in the upper left corner. thats messages
