Involution, particularly in the context of the postpartum uterus, involves catabolism (the breakdown of cells), muscle fiber contraction (to return the uterus to its pre-pregnancy size), and epithelial regeneration (to heal the site where the placenta was attached). Vasodilation, the widening of blood vessels, is not directly involved in the process of involution but is more related to increasing blood flow to areas, which is not a primary mechanism of involution.
