A client has had a severe laceration to the lower leg. The nurse is teaching the client about the healing process involved for the laceration of the lower leg
In teaching this client about healing, which type of tissue should the nurse explain shows a continuous state of regeneration? A) Epithelial tissue
B) Connective tissue
C) Muscle tissue
D) Nerve tissue
A
Feedback:
Epithelial tissue shows a continuous state of regeneration. As the outer layers of epithelial cells get constantly worn off at the body's surface, the underlying layers of epithelium continually produce new cells. Thus, epithelial tissue is in a continuous state of regeneration. Connective, nerve, and muscle tissues do not show continuous regeneration.
