Healing after clot formation involves
A) clot retraction.
B) repair of the damaged blood vessel by connective tissue cells.
C) clot dissolution.
D) serum being squeezed out of the clot.
E) All of the choices are correct.
Clot Retraction
The shrinking of a blood clot over time, which helps with the healing process by pulling the edges of a wound together.
Connective Tissue Cells
Cells that form the structural framework and support for organs and the body as a whole, such as fibroblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes.
Clot Dissolution
A process by which a blood clot (thrombus) is broken down, often through enzymatic activity, restoring normal blood flow.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Healing after clot formation involves several processes: clot retraction, which helps to stabilize the clot and bring the edges of the wound closer together; repair of the damaged blood vessel by connective tissue cells, which helps to restore the integrity of the vessel; clot dissolution, which removes the clot after the vessel has healed; and serum being squeezed out of the clot, which occurs during clot retraction. Therefore, all of the choices are correct.
