1. Tissue: The Living Fabric Part D4

2. Repair occurs in two major ways:
Tissue Trauma
Repair occurs in two major ways:
Regeneration: replacement of dead cells
Fibrosis: The growth of fibers (scar tissue)
The type of repair that occurs depends upon the severity of the injury and the tissue that was damaged.

3. Causes inflammation, characterized by:
Tissue Trauma
Causes inflammation, characterized by:
Dilation of blood vessels
Increase in vessel permeability
Redness, heat, swelling, and pain

4. Organization and restored blood supply
Tissue Repair
Organization and restored blood supply
The blood clot is replaced with granulation tissue
Granulation Tissue is delicate pink tissue that contains capillaries and other fibers.

5. Regeneration and fibrosis
Tissue Repair
Regeneration and fibrosis
Surface epithelium regenerates and the scab detaches
Fibrous tissue matures and begins to resemble the adjacent tissue

6. Results in a fully regenerated epithelium with underlying scar tissue
