Granulation is a term used in the field of medicine to describe the formation of small, rounded, fleshy connective tissue projections on the surface of a healing wound. This process is a key part of the wound healing process.
Etymology
The term 'granulation' is derived from the Latin word 'granulum', which means 'small grain'. This is in reference to the grain-like appearance of the tissue during the healing process.
Process
Granulation occurs during the proliferation phase of wound healing. This process involves the formation of new capillaries (tiny blood vessels) in the wound, which provide the necessary nutrients and oxygen for the healing process. The granulation tissue also contains fibroblasts, which produce collagen to strengthen the wound and macrophages, which help to remove dead tissue and fight infection.
