Sample item

What does granulation tissue contain?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

C. New capillaries, fibroblasts, and loose matrix

Granulation tissue is vascular connective tissue composed of proliferating capillaries, fibroblasts, inflammatory cells, and extracellular matrix during healing.

Option by option

  • A. Pure fat without cells

    It is not simply an acellular fat deposit.

  • B. Normal epidermis without vessels

    Healing tissue is vascular rather than vessel-free.

  • C. New capillaries, fibroblasts, and loose matrix (correct)

    Correct: new vessels and fibroblasts define granulation tissue.

  • D. Mature dense bone only

    Dense bone is not an early wound component.
