DESCRIPTION
Burns are a result of denatured protein ending in tissue
injury. In first-degree burns (i.e. sunburns), the damage
is limited to the epidermis. In second-degree burns, the
damage extends to the dermis. Third degree burns involve
destruction of the Skin and can extend into underlying tissue.
Minor burns involve local
dilation and increased permeability of capillaries, resulting
in an excess of blood outside of vessels and in tissue.
More severe burns, those that affect more than twenty percent
of the body, can be life threatening.
