Fibrosis

Back 21

Replacement of injured tissue with fibrous connective tissue (scar tissue)

Front 22

Keloid scarring

Excessive fibrosis

Front 23

Tissue repair steps

Back 23

Wound, clot and scab, tissue repair begins, scar tissue forms, epithelial cells multiply, scab detached.

Front 24

Membranes
