Wound healing is divided into many stages, the BSAVA book classifies it into three, order them from first to last.

• Inflammatory

• Proliferative

Which TWO components rush into the wound to form a clot?

• Red blood cells

• Phagocytes

• Platelets

• White blood cells

During the inflammatory stage, the capillaries ​ (a)   and allow ​ (b)   into the wound area. These WBCs then differentiate into cells such as ​ (c)  

• dilate
• white blood cells
• neutrophils and macrophages
• constrict
• red blood cells
• erythrocytes and platelets

Neutrophils and Macrophages become ________ - once the debris is cleared, inflammation subsides.

The predominant cells for laying down granulation tissue are:

Granulation tissue is laid down in the:

• Inflammatory stage

• Proliferation stage

• Remodelling phase

Which cells contract the wound and allow it to close

• Myofibroblasts

• Phagocytes

• Fibrocytes

• Osteoblasts

In remodelling, scar tissue forms. This can take up to ​ (a)  

• two years
• one year
• six months
• three years
