Question

Which of the four major tissue types is able to regenerate and repair quickly when injured?
A) Nervous
B) Muscle
C) Epithelial
D) Connective

Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissues are able to quickly regenerate and repair when injured due to their high rate of cell division and turnover. This is seen in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory tract. Nervous tissue has limited regenerative ability, while muscle and connective tissues have a slower regenerative process.
