Why do some wounds heal and others do not

The organ we call the "skin" is otherwise known as the Integumentary System. This name better describes the physical structure and function of the skin. The Integumentary System interacts with the body's other systems. When all these other systems function optimally, then the Integumentary System can do one of its important functions - repairing a wound. If other systems are dysfunctional, then wound repair can become prolonged or stalled.
