Which tissue heals by scar tissue?

Tissues that heal by scar tissue typically include dense connective tissues such as skin, tendons, and ligaments. In these tissues, the inflammatory response triggers the formation of scar tissue to repair the damage. However, the formation of scar tissue can lead to reduced functional capacity compared to the original tissue.

However, it is often less flexible and elastic than healthy tissue, which can lead to functional limitations.


What protein is involved in formation of scar tissue?

Fibroblasts are the main cells involved in the formation of scar tissue. They produce collagen, a type of protein that helps repair and strengthen damaged tissue, ultimately leading to scar formation. Fibroblasts migrate to the injury site and lay down collagen fibers to remodel the damaged area.

Can putting heat were scar tissue is will it help loosen it up?

Applying heat to scar tissue can help increase blood flow and promote healing, but it may not necessarily "loosen" the tissue. Scar tissue typically forms as part of the healing process, and its structure is different from normal tissue. Heat can help make scar tissue more pliable and reduce stiffness in the surrounding muscles and connective tissue.


What is Another word for scar tissue?

Another word for scar tissue is "fibrous tissue." Scar tissue forms as part of the healing process after an injury, replacing normal tissue with a denser, less flexible material. This fibrous tissue can develop in response to cuts, surgeries, or other forms of trauma to the skin or internal organs.
