Xena eventually catches Callisto (remember, she is 25 years old). Salmoneus, who is 60 years old, agrees to deliver Callisto to face charges for war crimes. On the way, their cart crashes down a ravine. Salmoneus also suffers damage to his spinal cord during the accident. Compare the likely degree of regeneration/recovery of his spinal cord with that of the injured skeletal muscles and describe the consequences of your observations for his quality of life and ability to remain active.

Tissue regeneration & repair

Tissue regeneration involves the restoration of tissue components by regrowth of damaged tissues. In contrast, tissue repair involves patching of injured tissue rather than restoring it. It is the proliferative capacity of the cells that decides the amount of regeneration against the repair that would occur in the tissue. Both regeneration and repair depending on the duration of the injury and response to the inflammation.
