Scar tissue is the result of .A) an abnormally large number of collagen fibers and relatively few blood vessels at the repair site. B) increased numbers of epidermal layers in the area of the injury. C) a thickened stratum germinativum in the area of the injury. D) increased numbers of fibroblasts and mast cells in the injured area. E) a lack of hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the injured area.

A) an abnormally large number of collagen fibers and relatively few blood vessels at the repair site

Explanation:

The scar tissues are the thick fibrous tissues typically the collagen fiber that have the role of replacement of healthy tissues after the injury has taken place to initiate the recovery process.

The scars are produced as a biological process at the site of wound repair on the skin. The scar develops on the superficial surface of the skin due to external injury. It is a natural healing process.

There are few blood vessels that can be found at the site of repair along with the collagen fibers.
