[Question] Why is rapid healing represented by smoke?

[Tera Path]

In so many animes that I've watched, anyone who has a rapid healing ability's prowess has been represented by steam coming from the wounds.

With Naruto, Madara, Tsunade, Shido (Date A Live), Rin (Blue Exorcist) and so many more....... it's all steam.....

Only person that I haven't seen it from that I can currently remember is Aizen in his fight with Ichigo when he slashes him diagonally, it was bubbles instead.

Anyways, does anyone possibly know why?

Edit:Thanks to hixa kuogame to point out that it's steam and not smoke.

I have no idea...

Its steam BTW.

The cells rush to heal the cut so fast that they produce smoke from their feet. Like the cartoons. ​

Heat - multiple cells are regenerating are a rapid speed which cause the blood to boil producing heat on the external surface of the body.

There is a production of heat during the regeneration. But still doesnt explain all that smoke. I guess to add to the dramatic effect.

I dont think so.

I know, I just made that up. >.> However, I figure it has something to do with the blood. I do not think I am wrong. Just a little off.

The repair and regeneration of cells take part during mitosis. Tsunade uses Mitotic Regenation but I dont remember her smoking up.
Still think its dramatic effect.

I guess this.

 

[LogicnoJutsu]

Its steam and idk i guess since the cells are overworking themselves they heat up causing the steam.

 

[Yurei]

I think it's just dramatic effect.

its like welding or something. The heat comment made earlier plus the welding effect. Dead skin particles with blood and stuff. All together = steam
