Mitosis is the process by which cells divide and reproduce to create new cells. In the case of healing skin after an injury, mitosis plays a crucial role. After an injury, cells in the surrounding tissues initiate mitosis to create new skin cells, which then migrate towards the wound site to replace the damaged tissue. This cell division allows for the regeneration of the injured area, ensuring that the new skin closely matches the existing non-injured skin in terms of appearance and function. Mitosis plays a key role in maintaining the overall structure and integrity of the skin, allowing it to heal and maintain its normal look.
