Question

what would be the expected response to a skin injury if the involved tissue had lost the normal cell characteristic of contact inhibition?
a-failure of wound to close
b-replacement with scar tissue rather than skin
c-excessive growth of replacement tissue
d-displacement of skin cells into other body tissues

Answer 1
