Bad news: you've stepped on a rusty nail and it has punctured through the heel of your right foot. Even worse, this nail was covered in Clostridium tetani, a nasty species of bacteria that releases a toxin that causes issues for our nervous system and motor function (fun fact: this is why we get TETANUS shots!). You now have a wound and a possible bacterial infection.....describe what happens next in terms of your CV system. Be sure to mention the role of specific blood cells and the stages involved in healing this wound.

- The wound healing response involves all the following EXCEPT (choose the most incorrect answer): Initial blood clot formation is mediated by thrombin resulting in platelet aggregation and fibrin clots. Collagen deposition by vascular endothelial cells is critical in increasing the tensile strength of repaired wounds to approximately 100%. Angiogenesis involves the response of endothelial cells to growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) Activated fibroblasts produce collagen and fibronectin increasing the tensile strength of wounds Migration of fibroblasts in response to growth factors is an important component of the proliferation phasearrow_forwardOne of your classmates plays on the soccer team.
