1. Tissue regeneration a. Your body triggers the “inflammatory response”. More blood is sent to the area of the cut. Why? It is the body's way of attracting white blood cells to go to the infected area, releasing antibodies, to kill the invaders (bacterias and viruses).

b. A scab is formed at the site of the cut. i. What is the scab made out of? Which cells make that protein? Blood cells called platelets, which form a clot, like glue.

ii. What is the function of the scab? To help isolate the cut from any outside bacterias or viruses to help heal the cut. Also, to help new skin to be able to form underneath.

c. The scab is replaced by “what tissue”? Granulation tissue.

d. What structures will NOT be replaced when the scar tissue is formed? Hair won't grow and no sweat glands. Also, nerve endings and hair follicles.
