Answered by Examlex AI CopilotTissue repair is the process by which the body replaces damaged or dead cells. This can occur in response to injury, infection, or disease. The capacity for tissue repair varies among different types of tissues.
Epithelial tissues, such as the skin and lining of the digestive tract, have a high capacity for repair. They are constantly being replaced through cell division and have a rapid turnover rate. This allows them to quickly regenerate and heal after injury.
Connective tissues, such as bone, cartilage, and tendons, have a moderate capacity for repair. They can regenerate and repair themselves to some extent, but the process is slower than that of epithelial tissues.
Muscle tissues have a limited capacity for repair. While they can regenerate to some extent, severe muscle injuries often result in scar tissue formation and loss of function.
Nervous tissues have a very limited capacity for repair. Once damaged, nerve cells have a limited ability to regenerate, and the repair process is often slow and incomplete.
Overall, the capacity for tissue repair varies depending on the type of tissue and its regenerative abilities. This is an important factor to consider when treating injuries and diseases that affect different types of tissues in the body.
All the cells that make up tissues are held together by intracellular structures called desmosomes.
(37) VerifiedFalse
Epithelial and muscle tissue have the greatest ability to regenerate.
(28) In some tissues the cells are held together by desmosomes, and in other tissues they are held together by nonliving matrix.

(37) A malignant tumor that arises from epithelial tissue is generally called a sarcoma.
(31) Connective tissue tends to have large quantities of extracellular matrix.
(40) Name and briefly describe the four principal types of tissue in the body.
(24) Simple cuboidal epithelium is one cell layer thick; stratified cuboidal epithelium is more than one layer thick.
