Q

Wound repair steps by major cell types involved

A
  • Tissue injury -> blood spills to site of injury
  • Platelets contact exposed collagen -> release clotting factors, GFs, and cytokines
  • Neutrophils are recruited and participate in phagocytosis
  • Macrophages arrive -> more phagocytosis and growth factors
  • Fibroblast migrate to injury site -> produce new extracellular matrix
  • Crosslinked fibroblasts form scar tissue
