healing and repair
Background:
Whenever tissue is injured, the body reacts, usually in the form of inflammation and haemostasis. With time, the body attempts to restore normal structure and function - this process is known as healing/repair.
Think about it… : Sometimes, healing occurs primarily by regeneration (i,.e. same tissue type grows back), whereas in others, it occurs by scarring - why do you think this happens?
Where to start?
Let's define things.
What is healing and repair?
Healing/Repair - The body's attempt, after injury, at restoring normal structure and function. It usually consists of two processes - tissue regeneration and fibrous organization (scar formation), in varying combinations.
