Clinical autonomic disease and the role of autonomic testing. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for the homeostatic control of numerous bodily functions such as blood pressure and body temperature regulation, urinary function, pupil size, sweating, sexual function, and digestion.
Scar tissue forms as skin heals after an injury (such as an accident) or surgery. Depending on the extent of the surgery, scar revision can be done while you are awake (local anesthesia), sleeping (sedated), or deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia).
The repair process restores tissue continuity by the deposition of repair (scar) tissue. This is initially granulation tissue which matures to form scar tissue. Repair tissue is a connective tissue distinct right from the onset in several ways from the connective tissue native to the site (Forrest 1983).
