Question

question which of the structures have the ability to regenerate following an injury? select all that apply smooth muscles cardiac muscles epithelia connective tissues

Explanation:

• Smooth muscles: Some smooth muscles (like those in the gut) can regenerate to a certain extent.
• Cardiac muscles: Cardiac muscle has very limited regenerative capacity, so it does not regenerate well after injury.
• Epithelia: Epithelial tissues (like skin epithelium) are known for their high regenerative ability to replace damaged cells.
• Connective tissues: Many connective tissues (like bone, fibrous connective tissue) can regenerate, especially with proper conditions.

Answer:

A. Smooth muscles, C. Epithelia, D. Connective tissues
