Examples
- Granulation tissue provides a rich blood supply and is an essential step in the healing process of wounds.
- During the healing process, the granulation tissue starts to grow into the wound and forms a framework for the repair of damaged tissues.
- Formation of granulation tissue on the surface of the wound marks the transition from the inflammatory to the proliferative phase of healing.
- After several days, granulation tissue fills the wound bed and promotes further repair through the regeneration of damaged tissue.
- As the granulation tissue grows and matures, it begins to take on a more organized structure and becomes part of the newly formed scar tissue.
