PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The first stage of healing is inflammation. This phase, which generally peaks between day 1 and 3 is marked by redness, swelling, pain, heat and disruption of function of the affected tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Typically acute inflammation presents itself as swelling, bruising, increased temperature, pain and loss in function at the injury site. Repair material is generated at this stage where scar tissue is produced. This starts from 2-3 days after the initial incident and reaches it’s peak at 2-3 weeks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemostasis (blood clotting) Stage one of wound healing starts at the onset of injury and is designed to stop any bleeding. Blood vessels constrict, restricting the blood flow to allow blood clotting. Platelets then stick together, essentially forming a dam to block the drainage of blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -The inflammatory phase begins with hemostasis and chemotaxis. Both the white cells and thrombocytes speed up the inflammatory process by releasing more mediators and cytokines.

Detailed explanation-5: -Inflammatory phase – This phase begins at the time of injury and lasts up to four days. Proliferative phase – This phase begins about three days after injury and overlaps with the inflammatory phase. Remodeling phase – This phase can continue for six months to one year after injury.
