wound healing
Injury repair process
Wound healing is the biological process by which damaged tissue repairs itself.
The body proceeds through overlapping phases—stopping blood loss, fighting infection, rebuilding tissue, and strengthening the repair site.
Proper wound healing requires adequate nutrition and blood flow.
The process can take days to months depending on injury severity.
