Question

State the type of cells which carry regeneration process?

Answer 1

Every species is capable of regeneration, from bacteria to humans. Regeneration can either be complete where the new tissue is the same as the lost tissue, or incomplete where after the necrotic tissue comes fibrosis.

Answer 2

The type of cells which carry the regeneration process are stem cells.

• The stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can divide and renew millions of types to regenerate different tissues and organs of the organism.
• The four types of stem cells are tissue-specific stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells and the embryonic stem cells based on their location in the body
• Stem cells are collected from the foetus and stored in the stem cell banks for later use in the life of the baby.
• Examples, where stem cells are found, are neural, mesenchymal, epithelial and skin stem cells.
