Which has the greatest capacity for regeneration?
Smooth cells have the greatest capacity to regenerate of all the muscle cell types. The smooth muscle cells themselves retain the ability to divide, and can increase in number this way. As well as this, new cells can be produced by the division of cells called pericytes that lie along some small blood vessels.
What tissues regenerate easily?
Tissues A&P
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What tissues regenerate easily? | Epithelial, fibrous connective, and bone tissues |
| What tissue regenerates poorly? | Skeletal muscle |
| What tissues are replaced largely by scar tissue? | Cardiac muscle and nervous tissue |
Which muscles can regenerate?
Smooth muscle tissue can regenerate from a type of stem cell called a pericyte, which is found in some small blood vessels. Pericytes allow smooth muscle cells to regenerate and repair much more readily than skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue.
Which tissue has the least capacity to regenerate?
The ability of muscle tissue to regenerate is limited. Fibrous connective tissue often replaces damaged muscle tissue. Nerve tissue has even less capacity to regenerate as the cell division in the nervous tissue is restricted to the early stages of development. So, the correct answer is option D.
Which is the best type of tissue to regenerate?
Nervous tissue and connective tissue have the greatest capacity to regenerate. Alveolar connective tissue specializes in the storage of lipid or fat. Epithelial tissue can be classified based on the shape of the cells. Atrophy is a characteristic of many neoplasms.
Which is type of tissue has the greatest capacity to heal?
In small wounds and injuries, the epithelial and connective tissues often heal with normal tissue. The ability of muscle tissue to regenerate is very limited. Fibrous connective tissue often replaces damaged muscle tissue. As a consequence, the organ involved loses all or part of its ability to function.
Does connective tissue regenerate?
Epithelial and connective tissues have the greatest capacity to regenerate. In small wounds and injuries, the epithelial and connective tissues often heal with normal tissue. The ability of muscle tissue to regenerate is very limited. Fibrous connective tissue often replaces damaged muscle tissue.
How are smooth muscle cells able to regenerate?
Smooth cells have the greatest capacity to regenerate of all the muscle cell types. The smooth muscle cells themselves retain the ability to divide, and can increase in number this way. As well as this, new cells can be produced by the division of cells called pericytes that lie along some small blood vessels. Smooth muscle can also hypertrophy.
