Healing is the process where the cells in the body regenerate and repair to reduce the size of a damaged or necrotic area.

Healing incorporates both the removal of necrotic tissue (demolition), and the replacement of this tissue.

The replacement can happen in two ways:

- by regeneration - this is when the necrotic cells are replaced by what was there in the first place.
- by repair - this is when the injured tissue is replaced with scar tissue.
Most organs will heal using a mixture of both mechanisms.
