Answer

Tissue repair begins during the inflammatory response with organization, during which the blood clot is replaced by granulation tissue. If the wound is small and the damaged tissue is actively mitotic, the tissue will regenerate and cover the fibrous tissue forced to bridge the gap. When a wound is extensive or the damaged tissue amitotic, it is repaired only by using fibrous connective (scar) tissue.
