What is repair by scar formation? What are the steps?

If repair cannot be accomplished by regeneration alone, it occurs by replacement of the injured cells with connective tissue, leading to the formation of a scar, or by a combination of regeneration of some residual cells and scar formation.

Steps involved in repair in scar formation:

  • Clot formation
  • Inflammation
  • Angiogenesis and formation of granulation tissue, 
  • Migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, 
  • Collagen synthesis, 
  • Connective tissue remodeling.
