Description The histological studies made on regeneration oiHolothuria (Metriatyla) scabra revealed that the alimentary
canal regenerates as a thickening from the original mesentery through mitotic proliferation. The presence of groups
of morula cells at the anterior and posterior remnants, during regeneration suggests their possible role in the
process of wound healing. The circular muscle is formed by the de-differentiation and reorganization of the circular
muscle fibres that are already present. The haemal rudiment is formed within three days as a projection of the
mesenterial thickening. The respiratory tree originates as a solid rudimentary protrubarance from the ruptured
end of the respiratory tree. The rate of regeneration, in all the tissues studied, seems to be more rapid when
compared to that of temperate forms.
