Regeneration Occurs in Injured Tissue

Question

Regeneration occurs in injured tissue
A) when the tissue is replaced with the same type of tissue as the injured tissue.
B) when a blood clot forms.
C) when fibrous connective tissue replaces the injured tissue.
D) after scar tissue forms.

Accepted Answer

Regeneration occurs when the injured tissue is replaced with the same type of tissue as the injured tissue. This is achieved through the multiplication of remaining undamaged cells or from stem cells that differentiate into the needed cell types. Blood clots, fibrous connective tissue, and scar tissue are all involved in the healing process, but they do not necessarily indicate tissue regeneration.
