Soft Tissue Injuries and Healing Processes Quiz

Bone is a hard tissue, not a soft tissue.

Soft tissues support, connect, and protect organs and structures in the body.

Acute soft tissue injuries occur suddenly.

Compression helps reduce swelling and control bleeding.

Exercise intensity does not directly affect soft tissue healing.

Collagen provides structural integrity and strength during healing.

Redness, warmth, swelling, and pus are signs of infection.

Rehabilitation aims to restore function, strength, and flexibility after injury.

Proliferative phase involves angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels.

Neutrophils are the primary inflammatory cells involved in soft tissue healing.

Infection, scar tissue formation, and adhesion are common complications.

ECM provides structure, regulates cell behavior, and mediates tissue repair.

Muscle tissue has a high regenerative capacity compared to other soft tissues.

Proteoglycans help maintain tissue hydration and provide structural support.
