Question

healing of burns

match the description of burn healing with the correct type of burn.

a table lists various types of burns. the column headers are description and type of burn.

description	type of burn
division of stem cells within accessory structures to replace tissue	--click to select--
inflammation, then healing without scarring	--click to select--

options:

• deep partial-thickness burn
• full-thickness burn
• superficial partial-thickness burn

Explanation:

Analyze epidermal growth from edges

This description indicates that the accessory structures (like hair follicles and sweat glands) in the dermis have been destroyed, meaning epithelial cells cannot regenerate from within the wound bed. Healing must occur solely from the outer edges of the burn, which is slow and often requires a skin graft. This is characteristic of a Full-thickness burn (third-degree burn).

Analyze stem cell division in accessory structures

This description indicates that while the epidermis is destroyed, deeper accessory structures (such as hair follicles and sweat glands located in the dermis) remain intact. Stem cells within these structures divide and migrate to replace the damaged epithelial tissue. This is characteristic of a Deep partial-thickness burn (second-degree burn).

Analyze healing without scarring

This description indicates a mild injury where only the superficial layer of the epidermis is damaged. The inflammatory response is followed by rapid, complete regeneration of the epidermis without permanent tissue damage or scarring. This is characteristic of a Superficial partial-thickness burn (first-degree burn).

Answer:

Description	Type of Burn
Division of stem cells within accessory structures to replace tissue	Deep partial-thickness burn
Inflammation, then healing without scarring	Superficial partial-thickness burn
