Wound Healing
Wound healing is a complex process that occurs in several stages. These stages are crucial for the body to repair damaged tissue and regain its integrity. The wound healing stages typically include:
Hemostasis: This is the initial stage that occurs immediately after an injury. It involves blood clot formation to stop bleeding.
Inflammation: Inflammation follows hemostasis and removes debris and dead cells from the wound. It's also a protective response to prevent infection. During this stage, blood vessels dilate, and immune cells are recruited to the injury site.
Proliferation: In this stage, new tissue is formed to replace the damaged tissue. This includes the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and the production of collagen, a structural protein that helps in wound closure.
Remodeling: The final stage involves the restructuring and remodeling of the newly formed tissue. Collagen is reorganized, and the wound gradually gains strength. This stage can continue for months or even years.
