Among these is the spleen – and sometimes it can regenerate without people taking place
The human body consists of over 37 trillions of cells, each with a limited service duration.
These cells are continually replaced to maintain the function of organism organism and systems.
However, over time, or causes the damage, the number of cells in operation can decrease to a level that causes symptoms or even the body failure.
The regeneration of organs and systems is a scientific saint that depends on stem cells, but due to its limited number and the slow division rate, this is not a practical path towards organ regeneration.
It would take many years to repopulate all the necessary types of cells.
However, some people see their organs “reappear”, such as Katy Golden, who removed the tonsils for the second time as an adult, after having grown up over 40 years again.
One of the reasons why tonsils can grow again is the fact that one of the operations to remove them is a partial tonsilctomy.
The removal of the part of the tonsils alone leads to a faster recovery and less complications, but about 6% of children can have a reclusion, which can require a new surgery later in life.
Most people associate the liver regeneration organs.
A part of only 10% of the liver can grow again and become a totally functional liver.
This is also that partial liver transplants allow the donor body to grow in normal and totally functional dimensions.
An organ that has a surprising ability to regenerate itself is the spleen – and sometimes it can regenerate themselves without people noticing.
The spleen is a high -risk lesion organ and is the most commonly wounded organ in a blunt abdominal trauma during road accidents, sports injuries or trivial activities such as the topic in furniture.
The spleen is at high risk because it has many blood vessels and therefore a lot of blood, but is surrounded only by a thin capsule that can break in the event of trauma, allowing blood loss. This can cause death if not treated immediately.
In addition, small pieces of the spleen – sometimes only a few cells – can be released in the abdomen and “grow” where they are deposited, which is called splendor, with functional activity similar to that of a mature milce with normal position.
This can be useful for those who need to remove the spleen due to traumatic injuries, with some relationships that suggest regeneration of up to 66% of patients.
In recent years, our lungs have also shown that they have a regenerative capacity.
It is known that smoking and other pollutants destroy the alveoli (small air bags) through which oxygen passes into the blood. It has been shown that the interruption of smoking allows cells that have avoided damage caused by chemicals that cause tobacco smoke cancer to help regenerate and repopulate the airways with healthy cells.
When a lung is removed, the remaining lung must adapt to support the body’s tissues and make sure it reaches enough oxygen for them.
Studies show that the remaining lung increases the number of alveoli it has, instead of remaining alveoli offshore of size to absorb more oxygen.
They are not only the internal organs that regenerate. An organ that constantly does it on a gigantic scale is the skin.
Since it is the largest organ, it has several barrier functions to maintain, for example, water inside and germs. With an area of ​​almost 2 m², the skin requires a significant amount of regeneration to replace the 500 million cells that are lost every day – this represents more than 2 g of epithelial cells per day.
The regeneration of the fabrics is much more common
One of the most active regenerative tissues is the endometrial coating of the uterus, which is eliminated every 28 days as part of the menstrual cycle and crosses about 450 cycles during a woman’s life.
This layer varies from 0.5 to 18 mm thick, depending on the stadium of the menstrual cycle, functional cells that are lost near the blood of the vessels that support a fertilized egg if it is implanted.
Male genitals can also have regeneration. The vasectomy, which removes a piece of the tube (defender’s channel) that connects the testicles to the urethra openings, is used to reduce the possibility of pregnancy, preventing the sperm from moving from the testicles from the penis.
However, the ends of the cutting of the ducts showed regenerative capacity and linked.
Some parts, where up to 5 cm were limited or removed, had regeneration, also through the scar tissue. This “recanalization” can cause unexpected pregnancies.
The bone is another fabric that can regenerate. If you have already broken a bone, you know that (later) it recovers the function.
This process of repairing the fracture requires from six to eight weeks. But the process of regeneration of architecture and bone force continues for months and years.
However, with increasing age and in postmenopausal women, this process is slower and the bone may not regenerate to reach its previous strength or structure.
When there are organ couples and one of them is lost, there is good evidence that the remaining organ can increase its functional ability to help the body manage the maintenance of the function. For example, when a kidney is removed, the remaining kidney increases to face the extra workload, filtering the blood and eliminating waste efficiently.
Although the regeneration of the organs is rare, it happens and usually it takes years to manifest themselves, because organs are complex structures.
Studies are underway to try to understand how scientists can develop this knowledge to help with the scarcity of donor organs.
Fortunately, the regeneration of the fabrics takes place much more often than many people imagine and is a very necessary part to stay alive.
