Two types of tissues that are largely replaced by scar tissue are cardiac muscle tissue and nervous tissue. In the heart, after a myocardial infarction (heart attack), damaged cardiac muscle is replaced by fibrous scar tissue, which does not contract or function like healthy muscle. Similarly, in the nervous system, injuries to neurons often result in scar tissue formation by glial cells, which inhibits regeneration and functional recovery.
Muscle tissues
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.
Scar tissue is unlikely to trigger airport scanners as they are designed to detect metal objects and not biological tissues like scar tissue.
If inhaled, asbestos in air can scar lung tissue.
When normally elastic connective tissues are replaced with nonelastic fibrous tissues, this can result in decreased flexibility and increased stiffness in the affected area. This transformation can lead to conditions like fibrosis or scar tissue formation, which may impair the function and movement of the tissues or organs involved.
Yes. It is possible to remove tissues from your brain.
Scar tissue differs from normal body tissues in that it lacks hair follicles and melanocytes which produce pigment.

Cirrhosis of the liver involves the replacement of healthy liver cells with scar tissue.
The processes are a bit different, in scar tissue connective tissue has been added to the site whereas tissues surrounding inflammation sites change to allow easier access to water carrying immunological agents, nutrients, etc.
scar tissue.
It is a replacement tissue in an injured tissue, which is made up of connective tissue reguardless of whether the injury was in fact on the epithelium level. It is considered non-funtional because it does not carry out the function of the tissue that was replaced.
