Which Tissues Commonly Exhibit Incomplete Regeneration?
Several tissues are prone to incomplete regeneration due to their limited regenerative capacity. These include:
Cardiac Muscle: After a myocardial infarction, cardiac muscle is replaced by non-contractile scar tissue. Central Nervous System (CNS): Neurons in the CNS have limited ability to regenerate, often leading to permanent deficits after injury. Skeletal Muscle: While skeletal muscle can regenerate to some extent, severe injuries often result in fibrosis. Kidneys: Renal tissue shows limited regenerative capacity, often resulting in chronic kidney disease after significant damage.
