Abstract
Despite very high morphofunetional differentiation, skeletal muscle fibers are capable of regeneration. The most important conditions for this to take place are an uninterrupted basal lamina and that the distance to undamaged muscle fibers is not too great. Muscle fibers regenerate:
-
I.
Continuously
-
II.
Discontinuously
