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).
A scar results from the biological process of wound repair in the skin-a natural part of the body's healing process. Any burn, injury, skin condition, or other trauma, such as surgery, can cause a scar.They form when the dermis (deep, thick layer of skin) is damaged. The body forms new collagen fibres (a naturally occurring protein in the body) to mend the damage, resulting in a scar.The new scar tissue will have a different texture and quality than the surrounding tissue; while most scars are flat and pale, some can be raised, sunken, or pitted in appearance.he body forms new collagen fibres (a naturally occurring protein in the body) to mend the damage, resulting in a scar.
