What is the FIRST event in wound healing?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Hemostasis
- A. Correct. Wound healing begins with hemostasis (clot formation/vasoconstriction to stop bleeding), occurring immediately after injury.
- B. Inflammation is the second phase, following hemostasis.
- C. Proliferation (new tissue formation) is the third phase.
- D. Remodeling is the final, longest phase of wound healing.
Note: Wound Healing: Hemostasis → Inflammation → Proliferation → Remodeling. Bone Healing: Hematoma → Soft Callus → Hard Callus → Remodeling.
