🇬🇧 Fibrosis meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

Fibrosis is when your body makes too much scar-like tissue on the inside while it is trying to heal. Normally, when you get hurt, your body fixes the damage and may leave a small scar.

This extra tissue can make organs or body parts stiffer and harder to work properly, a bit like if someone wrapped your bendy straw in tape so much that it could barely bend anymore.
