The cellular process that enables the cells to grow and develop into tissue is mitosis.
Mitosis involves the division of the vegetative cells of the body and is important for the growth and development of organisms as well as in the healing of wounds or the replacement of damaged cells/tissues.
<em>Hence, in treating burns and other types of skin injuries, the cells of the skin are stimulated to divide rapidly by </em><em>mitosis</em><em> so as to replace the damaged cells due to the injury. By doing so, the injured area heals.</em>
