(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
When inflammation subsides, the damaged tissue is repaired. Depending on the severity of the inflammation and the type of tissue involved repairs may or may not be complete; in minor inflammations of the skin, for example, the tissue is capable of complete regeneration whereas in nervous tissue regeneration may be more limited and the damaged cells may be replaced with scar tissue.
