When someone loses a limb, how does the body know to grow skin over the “stump”?
In: Biology
The stump is usually made surgically while cleaning and repairing the lost limb.
Excess skin (or doner tissue from another appendage or source if needed) is sewn together to close the wound
Since human healing/regeneration is very limited once the wound heals that’s basically the end of it. Scar tissue will likely form
