REACTION OF LIMB REGENERATES OF ADULT AXOLOTL (SIREDON MEXICANUM) TO X- IRRADIATION
Axolotis belong to the Urodela group of amphibia which also includes newts and salamanders. This group is able to restore limbs, tail, and portions of the head after injury or amputation. As a result of contraction of muscles and constriction of blood vessels, bleeding stops shortly after amputation. The initial epidermal healing of the wound is accomplished by migration of epidermal cells or by mi- gration of the epidermal layer from adjacent regions. A comparison was made of the effects of x irradiation on different tissues and the mechanism of regression or resorption after irradiation. Data are tabulated and results discussed. (C.H.)
