Types of Burns The labels list different characteristics of burns. For each characteristic, drop the label into the appropriate box. Full-thickness burn Growth of epithelium from edges Epidermis and some dermis involved Only epidermis involved Blister formation due to damaged capillaries Deep partial-thickness burn Depends on accessory structure stem cells for healing Superficial partial-thickness burn Destruction of epidermis, dermis, and accessory structures Does not scar Healing: 3 to 14 days May require skin graft First-Degree Burns Does not scar Only epidermis involved Second-Degree Burns Superficial partial-thickness burn Healing: 3 to 14 days Epidermis and some dermis involved Deep partial-thickness burn Blister formation due to damaged capillaries Growth of epithelium from edges Third-Degree Burns Depends on accessory structure stem cells for healing Destruction of epidermis, dermis, and accessory structures Full-thickness burn May require skin graft Reset
