Which human body organ can regenerate itself fully from only one-quarter of its tissue?
Correct answer: Liver
CyanJaguar62
Fun guy, I had a friend who needed a liver transplant after taking too much Tylenol. No drinking involved. He was lucky to get a live liver transplant. There are many reasons a liver can be damaged that have nothing to do with alcoholism.

That’s an amazing fact. Is there an animal that can do that?
Player #2302284
Wow...would be great if the kidneys could do that. As well as Pancreas.
Player #1126073
Well, some lizards can regrow their tails...

How amazing is our liver. Great info.

Doug44.1, the Axolotl can regrow its own brain and any of its other body parts, as long as it stays in water. It's quite a fascinating animal. I have two of them.

jimmyhoward3535, the liver has nothing to do with weightloss

I know that the liver can rejuvenate however I did not know that it can repair from little left. I find it hard to believe because I have cirrhosis and my doctors have never told me that. my liver is covered in scar tissue which is cirrhosis.

i want these kind of questions deLIVERed often
Rachel
Ray, sorry buddy, scarring inhibits regrowth:-((
DD
Chelu Neb1, 🤣
PerkyLin
CyanJaguar62, Yeah, like bad surgeon trying to removing a gall bladder.

michele, You can have compensated cirrhosis, which means the whole thing can't be covered in scar tissue!

Doug44.1, a certain type of jellyfish can continuously regenerate itself, effectively making it immortal.

I think it’s called ‘hypertrophy’
As opposed to ‘atrophy’

Player #9809468, we were not meant to eat meat or walk on two legs, but EVOLUTION and EVIL took over, we were given power to choose what we eat and what we do, that's the whole story
michele
William, govt allows addition of cancer and addictive additives to be added to them, dumb people pay big money to govt and give themselves cancer, just like Alcohol, Methadone etc, it's all about money and us being the guinea pigs read up on all of it, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US JUST THE MONEY, THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL
michele
Manel, becuz most pain meds have Tylenol/acetaminophen in them as well as other drugs, plus people don't take them as they should, then comes addiction....
michele
Ray, probably bcuz there is no healthy tissue left
Neila
I read that to regenerate the entire liver takes 7 years.Still think that is a remarkable threshold time wise!

Doug44.1, octopus i know lizards was rightfully mentioned
Player #29965864

Manel
CyanJaguar62, I was told by a relative who is the Doctor, that taking too many pain killer medicines can damage the liver. So now I see what you have written abouit

Player #15011457, well, it might. for many years being overweight was said to cause fatty liver. now there's evidence fatty liver causes the weight gain.

Player #1126073, one time I stepped on a lizards 🦎 tail that was in my room when I was 9 now I'm 10 after a few days its tail started to grow back and it's tail was still wiggling. Some of the lizards tail was still there but some was gone. And I also saw the tail that its growing inside the top part of its tail. It was disgusting 😒 😑 😪 😐 🤢🤮
