Fibrosis is repair. When a tissue is damaged fibroblasts repair the damage and this process is called Fibrosis.

Does Fibrosis occur when adipocytes divide to form new connective tissue during tissue repair?

Fibrosis is a pathological process characterized by the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix components, primarily collagen, leading to scarring and tissue stiffening. While adipocytes (fat cells) can proliferate and play a role in tissue repair, fibrosis specifically refers to the formation of fibrous connective tissue, not the normal division of adipocytes. In some cases, when tissue is damaged, an imbalance between repair and degradation can lead to fibrosis, but this is distinct from the normal regenerative processes involving adipocytes.


What are the two types of tissue repair?

The two types of tissue repair are regeneration, where damaged tissue is replaced with new functional tissue, and fibrosis, where damaged tissue is replaced with scar tissue made of collagen fibers. Regeneration is ideal as it restores normal tissue function, while fibrosis can lead to loss of function depending on the extent of scarring.

What are two ways tissue repair occurs?

Tissue repair occurs primarily through regeneration and fibrosis. Regeneration involves the replacement of damaged cells with new cells of the same type, restoring normal function, while fibrosis involves the formation of scar tissue when regeneration is insufficient, often leading to a loss of function in the affected area. Both processes are essential for healing, depending on the type and extent of the injury.
