What is the physiologic mechanism causing the wound to become red, hot, swollen, and painful?

Applу knowledge of tissue аnd orgаn struсture and function to phуsiologic alterations in sуstems and analyze the cause and effect relationship in response to disease. See the case studies below. In your discussion be sure to include evidence of your knowledge of tissue and organ structure and function to physiologic alterations in systems and analyze the cause and effect relationship in response to disease. Requirements 1. Make sure all of the topics in the case study have been addressed. 2. Cite at least three sources—journal articles, textbooks, or evidenced-based websites—to support the content. 3. All sources must have been written within five years. 4. Do not use .com, Wikipedia, or up-to-date, etc., for your sources. Case Study 4 Inflammation, Tissue Repair, and Wound Healing Carlton, a six-year-old boy, was playing on a sandy beach with his mother. He began to run along the shoreline when he stepped on the sharp edge of a shell, giving himself a deep cut on his foot. His mother washed his foot in the lake and put on his running shoe to take him home. One day later, Carlton’s foot looked worse. The gash was red and painful. The foot was warm to touch and appeared swollen. Carlton’s mom put some gauze over the wound and prepared to take him to the local community health clinic. 1. What is the physiologic mechanism causing the wound to become red, hot, swollen, and painful? How is this different than the inflammatory response that might occur in an internal organ? 2. What are the immunologic events that are happening at the local level during Carlton’s acute inflammatory response? 3. Nutrition plays an important factor in wound healing. What stages of wound healing would be affected by a deficiency in vitamins A and C?
