What is the correct sequence of tissue healing?

• A. Cellular response, Regeneration, Remodeling
• B. Inflammation, Proliferation, Maturation
• C. Hemostasis, Inflammation, Repair
• D. Regeneration, Cellular response, Remodeling

Answer: (A)

Tissue healing unfolds through a logical progression from an initial cellular response to new tissue formation and then structural maturation. The cellular response sets the scene: inflammatory cells arrive, debris is cleaned up, and signals are sent to recruit cells needed for repair. Next comes regeneration, where new tissue is formed through cell proliferation and deposition of extracellular matrix. Finally, remodeling strengthens and realigns that tissue as collagen matures and the repair takes on functional integrity. This sequence fits because you start with the cellular signals and cleanup, move into making new tissue, and end with strengthening and organizing that tissue for longer-term function. Other sequences either introduce an earlier hemostatic step or place remodeling before regeneration, which doesn't align with how repair tissue is first created and then matured.
