Which event must precede all others during tissue repair? which event must precede all others during tissue repair? inflammation occurs near the affected cells. epithelia reproduce and migrate to the damaged area. fibroblasts produce collagen that strengthens the area surrounding the tissue damage. clotting occurs in the damaged area?

The correct answer is Inflammation occurs near the affected cells.

The inflammation response is important in order to eliminate microbes and injured tissue and to set into motion the process of repair. Tissue repair than includes regeneration by the proliferation of uninjured cells and maturation of tissue stem cells. The next step is the deposition of connective tissue in order to form a scar.
