Regenerative growth was studied in limbs and tails exposed to x-radiation. Significant increases in size were observed following irradiation. Growth eventually ceased in irradiated regenerates and involution set in progressively to claim most of the tissue distal to the amputation plane. This growth

Urodele amphibians are nearly the only adult vertebrates able to regenerate their missing or amputated tail. An interesting aspect of this biological model lies in the ability of regenerates to differentiate the spinal cord (SC), the vertebral cartilage, and muscles. The main questions addressed in
## Abstract The freshwater planarian __Dugesia japonica__ was used to examine the influence on the axial polarity of a tail piece transplanted into the following three regions: in experiment I posterior to the head; in experiment II just anterior to the pharynx; and in experiment III in the postpha
