What is Healing?
'''Healing''' is a process that happens in the [[body]]. Through healing, [[cell]]s are able to repair damaged [[Tissue (biological)|tissue]]. There are two different ways healing can happen: * The damaged tissue is replaced with tissue of the same kind. This is called ''regeneration''. * The damaged tissue is replaced with [[scar]] tissue. This is called ''repair'' Most healing processes combine both ways of healing. ==Other websites== * [http://www.childrenshospital.org/cfapps/research/data_admin/Site97/mainpageS97P5.html How wounds heal and tumors form] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060822155330/http://www.childrenshospital.org/cfapps/research/data_admin/Site97/mainpageS97P5.html |date=2006-08-22 }} With this simple Flash demonstration, Harvard professor Donald Ingber explains how wounds heal, why scars form, and how tumors develop.
