The primary tissues destroyed when the skin is damaged depend on the extent of the injury. If a person receives a minor scratch, only the epidermis is injured, and the area will not bleed. However, if a person receives a deep cut, the dermis will be lacerated. There will be blood and nerves will be affected, so it will create a lot of pain.
Epidermis.
Mitosis is the term used for the type of cell division that occurs during the repair of damaged skin tissue.
Cell division in animal skin tissue is responsible for growth, tissue repair, and regeneration. It helps to replace old or damaged skin cells, maintain the integrity of the skin barrier, and support overall skin function.
The procedure is called skin grafting, where healthy skin is taken from one part of the body and transplanted to the damaged area. This helps the body to heal, promotes skin regeneration, and reduces scarring.
There is no history to a keloid, its a disorganised structure of skin cells that cover an area of damaged tissue (skin) in order to protect the body.
Vascular tissue is not typically found in the outermost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. It is mainly found in the deeper layers of the skin, in structures such as blood vessels, which supply nutrients and oxygen to skin cells.
Scar tissue is the fibrous connective tissue which forms a scar; it can be found on any tissue on the body, including skin and internal organs, where an injury, cut, surgery or disease has taken place, and then healed. Thicker than the surrounding tissue, scar tissue is paler and denser because it has a limited blood supply; although it takes the place of damaged or destroyed tissue, it is limited in function, including movement, circulation, and sensation. Other than with minor cuts and scrapes, scarring is a common result of any bodily damage. Scar tissue in the skin is inferior to healthy, normal skin for several reasons: sweat glands are damaged or destroyed, hair does not grow back, and there is less resistance to ultraviolet radiation
When the skin is damaged, specialized cells called keratinocytes migrate to the wound area and multiply to form new skin tissue. These cells produce collagen, elastin, and other proteins necessary for wound healing. As the new skin tissue forms, it gradually replaces the damaged skin and closes the wound.
Skin stem cells have the potential to be used in regenerative medicine for treating conditions like burns, wounds, and skin diseases. They can help regenerate damaged skin tissue and promote healing, offering new possibilities for personalized treatments and tissue engineering.
Adipose tissue is deep to the skin; skin is superficial to adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is fat.
Stem cells in the skin play a crucial role in regeneration and repair by dividing and differentiating into specialized cells to replace damaged or lost tissue. They can generate new skin cells, hair follicles, and sweat glands, aiding in wound healing and maintaining the skin's integrity.
Surgical therapy for the primary site is that of wide local removal of the skin including subcutaneous tissue surrounding the lesion.
