Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When tissue damage is neutralised and minimal this results in
A
A resolution
B
Healing by repair
C
Abscess formation
D
Chronic inflammation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Resolution is the ideal outcome of healing and occurs in acute inflammatory responses to minor injuries or those with minimal parenchymal cell necrosis. The tissue is in effect restored to the state it was in before injury occurred.

Detailed explanation-2: -Injured tissues release chemicals. In response, the body increases circulation to the injured area, bringing white blood cells and nutrients. The injured area and tissues surrounding it become swollen, warm and reddened. The inflammatory response limits function (because it causes more pain) to help the tissues heal.

Detailed explanation-3: -During tissue repair, cells migrate rapidly into the wound site and eventually form the granulation tissue. Eventually, wounds contract and cellularity is later reduced via apoptosis. Matrix is degraded by MMPs. The scars of resulting mature wounds are relatively acellular and avascular.

Detailed explanation-4: -Upon tissue injury, damaged cells release inflammatory chemical signals that evoke local vasodilation, the widening of the blood vessels. Increased blood flow results in apparent redness and heat. In response to injury, mast cells present in tissue degranulate, releasing the potent vasodilator histamine.
