Question 1

Discuss how a damaged tissue is repaired.

Accepted Answer

In order to replace the worn-out,damaged or dead cells,new cells arise from stroma,supporting connective tissue,or the parenchyma for replacement.In some cases stem cells,which are the immature and undifferentiated cells,will divide to replace the lost or damaged cells.
