salam. orait lets learn abour burns. heee since i had already learn it during 4th year and yesterday we have again a tutorial on it with Datuk ARA the plastic surgeon and surgery cluster head. okey lets go straight forward to our topic on burns.
Burn defined by any injury to skin by either thermal, chemical, electrical or radiation. There are high incidence of burns among low and moderate socioeconomic countries which the reasons might be due to :
- lack of education
- overcrowding which cause house to house fire
causes of burn??? yes as i have mentioned before. Then before we proceed, we should know a little bit about the anatomy and physiology our skin.
as we know, our skin has 3 layers. Epidermis, Dermis and Subcutaneous fat. Epidermis is the outermost layer and can be further subdivided .The second layer (located under the epidermis) is called the dermis; it contains nerve endings, sweat glands, oil glands, and hair follicles. Under these two skin layers is a fatty layer of subcutaneous tissue
the simple example is sunburn. it can be categorized as superficial burns.
