HEALING AND REPAIR

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Wolff’s Law states that:
A
Inflammation occurs in increments consistent to the stress that caused the damage
B
Each stage of inflammation will progress independent of the previous stage
C
The inflammatory process is the body’s normal response to injury
D
Tissue grows and heals according to the stresses placed upon it
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As Wolff’s law states: bone subjected to loading or stress will regenerate and bone not subjected to stress will atrophy.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Wolff’s law, bones in the living body will adapt to mechanical loads under which they are placed. If loads on a particular bone increase, the bone will remodel to become thicker and stronger to resist the loads. The inverse is also true; if loads on a bone decrease, the bone will become thinner and weaker.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bone tissue forms and is remodeled in response to the mechanical forces that it experiences, a phenomenon described by Wolff’s Law. Mechanically induced formation and adaptation of bone tissue is mediated by bone cells that sense and respond to local mechanical cues.
