Healing
Healing is the process by which the
cells in the
body regenerate and repair to reduce the size of a damaged or
necrotic area. Healing incorporates both the removal of necrotic
tissue (demolition), and the replacement of this tissue.The replacement can happen in two ways:by regeneration: the necrotic cells are replaced by the same tissue as was originally there.by repair: injured tissue is replaced with
scar tissue.Most
organs will heal using a mixture of both mechanisms.
