In the following list, number the steps of wound healing after a soft tissue injury. Inflammation occurs in the area as tissue repair begins.
Mast cells release histamine that dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow to the repair site, further promoting clot formation.
Platelets from torn vessels form a mesh-like clot that prevents blood loss.
Neutrophils and macrophages consume bacteria and remove damaged tissue and debris.
The tissue created by fibroblasts matures and regains its normal function.
Fibroblasts build new tissue by secreting collagen that takes the shape of the original tissue.
