Wound therapies involving platelet rich plasma fractions are also accompanied by treatments with calcium gluconate to:Question 13Answera.provide a glucose source for plateletsb.inhibit platelet activationc.stimulate platelet activationd.activate collagen moleculese.debride the wound

The answer is c. stimulate platelet activation.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves the use of a patient's own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient's own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.

Calcium gluconate is added to the PRP therapy because it acts as an activator of the platelets. When calcium gluconate is added to the PRP, it stimulates the platelets, causing them to release growth factors. These growth factors then aid in the healing and regeneration of the tissue.
