QUESTION

The type of wound healing in which granulation tissue forms, filling the defect, is known as?

OPTIONS

(A) First intention
(B) Second intention
(C) Third intention
(D) Fourth intention

ANSWER

(B) Second intention

EXPLANATION

Second-intention healing occurs when a wound is left open and granulation tissue fills the tissue defect before contraction and epithelialization. First intention joins close wound edges directly; delayed primary or third intention closes a prepared wound later, and fourth intention is not the conventional definition here.
