Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissue has a high ability to repair itself due to its rapid turnover rate and constant exposure to environmental factors. Connective tissue also has a good ability to repair itself due to its abundant extracellular matrix and the presence of cells that can differentiate into different types of connective tissue cells. Muscle tissue may be able to regenerate to some extent, but it is not as efficient at repair as epithelial and connective tissue. Nervous tissue has a limited ability to repair itself.
