Tissue
responds to injury or other damage with a two-step process: 1) inflammation;
and 2) regeneration to restore homeostasis. Inflammation, or the inflammatory
response, produces swelling, redness, warmth, and pain in the area of injury.
The injured area is isolated while damaged cells and
dangerous microorganisms are destroyed. During the second process,
regeneration, the damaged tissues are replaced or repaired to restore normal
function. Regeneration begins while the cleanup processes of inflammation are
still in process.
