Notes:
Tail regeneration occurs following autotomy of the tail in the salamander Desmognathus fuscus. Studies based on histology and autoradiography suggest that the cells of the regeneration blastema arise from the connective tissue of the tail stump. Following autotomy of the tail in Desmognathus the muscle of the regenerate is not derived from de differentiated or modulated striated muscle fibers of the autotomy stump. Possible sources of myogenic cells are discussed.
