Answer
reparative regeneration
Explanation
Solution
Reparative regeneration is quite common in both invertebrate and vertebrate groups. It is confined to healing of injuries. For example, earthworms and related annelids are capable of regenerating a few body segments severed from either or both the ends of the body. Among amphibians, salamanders and axolotl larvae are unique for their power of regenerating some organs and body parts such as limb, tail, external gills, jaws, intestine and eye structures. Liver in mammals has the extensive power of reparative regeneration.
