Abstract

Regeneration is a normai regulative process by which an organism reestablishes its lost equilibrium and restores, more or less completely, body parts that have been lost or severely injured. Repetitive regeneration indicates the renewal of cells, tissue and organs that have a shorter life then the whole organism itself, whereas the term reparative regeneration applies to the repair of damage after injury (Filoni, 1981).
