Question

what is occurring in this step of skin repair? image of skin wound answer: inflexible, fibrous, non - cellular scar tissue is formed. fibroblasts form collagen fibers and ground substance and over time, deeper portions of the clot dissolve. an inflammatory response occurs, triggered by immune cells in the area. a blood clot forms over the wound, and cells of the stratum basale divide rapidly and migrate along the edges of the wound. i dont know yet

Explanation:

In skin repair, after the clot forms, fibroblasts produce collagen and ground substance, and deeper clot parts dissolve over time. This matches the second option. Other options: scar tissue (later), inflammation (earlier), clot formation (initial) don't fit this step.

Answer:

B. Fibroblasts form collagen fibers and ground substance and over time, deeper portions of the clot dissolve.
