Term
What are the three stages of wound healing?

4. phagocytosis
Term
What enzymes and cytokines are secreted by macrophages? what do they do?
Definition
1. collagenases - debride the wound
2. IL and TNF - stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and promote angiogenesis
3. TGF stimulates keratinocytes
Term
which step marks the transition into the proliferative phase?
Definition
proliferative phase begins when the TGF stimulate keratinocytes
