why our skin and liver, the largest organs in our body, regenerate but other organs can’t?
In: 335
Our skin is there to keep the pathogens outside of our body (and there’s a lot of them!) on the outside so it can’t kill us. Our liver is there to keep the potentially toxic food (and there’s a lot of it!) that we put inside of us from killing us. Both can take damage by the nature of how they perform. That being said, our body does heal itself and not just those two organs. We cannot regenerate limbs like some species, but as long as the damage isn’t too traumatic the body is capable of healing itself to an extent.
