contact inhibition
43
The process of scar tissue formation is called
fibrosis

sudoriferous glands; blood vessles
46
Cells in the epidermis that work with a helper T cells to provide immunity are the
laugerhan cells
47
formation of a blood clot, vasodilation of blood vessels, and increased permeability of blood vessels for deliver of phagocytes and mesenchyme is characteristic of the ______phase of deep would healing
inflamitory
48

osteology
52
The inner layer of the periostium is called the _____layer
osteogenic
53
The membrane that lines the medullary cavity of the long bone is called the
