Chapter 520: Tissue Fluid [Ask for a Monthly Pass, Ask for a Subscription]
When an earthworm is broken in two, it can become two earthworms.
First of all, the muscle tissue on the section will contract immediately, and a part of the muscle will quickly dissolve on its own, thus forming a new cell mass, and the white blood cells will also condense to the section at the same time to form an embolism, so that the wound on the section will be quickly closed, prevent blood loss, tissue fluid loss, and resist the invasion of microorganisms.
After reforming the closed body cavity in this way, the earthworm can survive, which is the stage of regeneration.
At present, the mechanism of earthworm regeneration is not clear, and there are two main hypotheses.
First, after the body cavity is closed, the protocytes in the compartment of the body cavity will quickly move to the cross-section, and together with the self-dissolved muscle cells, they will form nodular regeneration buds. At the same time, a large amount of mitosis is carried out in the body, and the cells of the digestive tract, nervous system, blood vessels and other tissues grow rapidly to the regeneration bud site.
Second, the cells in the section will be dedifferentiated and returned to the original undifferentiated state, and then these cells will divide, differentiate, grow and regenerate.
Both hypotheses lead to the same outcome.
In this way, a new head will grow on the section without a head; In the section without a tail, a new tail grows.
One earthworm becomes two complete earthworms.
Earthworms are also a kind of life.
This leg of lamb is not dead yet?
When Gu Jun heard Wu Shiyu's words, the first reaction in his mind was to think of the earthworm, and then looked at the broken giant leg of mutton in front of him, as if he clearly saw that the subcutaneous tissue of its thigh was dissolving itself.
It is different from earthworms, it has a more complex biological mechanism than earthworms,
When the liquid escapes, it recondenses, and then undergoes a regeneration process to become another black goat cub.
These thoughts flashed through him almost instantly, and Gu Jun's head ached even more violently, and the illusion was getting worse.
But at the same time, in the investigative capabilities section of the new system panel, the experience of anatomy has also increased.
[You have improved your knowledge of life by observing black goat cubs, +200 experience points, 4700/5000]
Can this also increase experience, Gu Jun was a little surprised, but the introduction to anatomy has long said that the purpose of anatomy is to understand the mystery of life through dissection, and this is not only about moving knives and scissors, but also measuring, observing, and summarizing are effective methods.
"I feel stick insects." Wu Shiyu walked quickly to the side, "It's pretending to be dead." ”
Stick insects have the ability to regenerate severed limbs.
"Earthworms." Gu Jun also said his thoughts, "I suspect that it is dissolving itself in preparation for regeneration. ”
Hearing the two of them say this, Wang Ruoxiang, Uncle Dan, Xiao Huiwen and others all realized a little, and dissolved themselves? Regeneration? Wang Ruoxiang hurriedly asked, "Gu Jun, do you want us to get out of the car immediately, turn on the freezing, and freeze it all first." ”
Now there are two dangers, one is to be slipped by those liquids, but this is not urgent, because this compartment is airtight, and every drop of liquid that flows out of the leg of lamb is packed into an isolation barrel. The urgency is another crisis, and if it continues like this, this leg of mutton will completely dissolve.
What Wang Ruoxiang said is a solution, but can freezing really stop it?
Water begins to freeze at zero degrees Celsius, but the tissue fluid of insects can withstand low temperatures below zero degrees Celsius without freezing, which is called "supercooling".
There is also cellular activity, and freezing cannot completely stop the cellular activity of some ordinary life, and this is still an abnormal life......
"You try freezing some liquid first! See if there is any overcooling. Gu Jun said, his mind was racing, looking at the "4650/5000" column in his mind, he was almost upgraded, and maybe there would be a reward after the upgrade......
There are still 300 experience left, and in the face of a new contact with the anomaly, there is still a chance to improve before the in-depth understanding.
At the same time as Wang Ruoxiang and Uncle Dan took action, he looked thoughtfully at the liquid that dyed the drainage tube dark green, and it was still flowing.
The human body naturally has a lot of fluids, in fact, about 60% of each person's body weight is body fluids, which are divided into two parts, about two-thirds of intracellular fluid and about one-third of extracellular fluid. The interstitial fluid, which belongs to the extracellular fluid, can account for about 16% of body weight.
This concept belongs to the category of physiology.
Because anatomy is mainly about figuring out the hierarchy of biological bodies.
But what about anatomy in a broad sense, what if black goat cubs have different body forms?
"It's not a dirty ......" Gu Jun thought and muttered, reaching out to the leg of mutton and dipping it with a little dark green liquid, even through the protective clothing, he seemed to feel its stickiness and heat, "This is the tissue fluid of the black goat cub, it may be all over its body......"
Xiao Huiwen on the communication screen asked in surprise: "Are you saying that it can be regenerated by dissolving itself and converting it into liquid?" ”
"Hypothetical, hypothetical." Gu Jun lifted the Carlop scalpel in his hand, stabbed it violently into the shriveled epidermis of the leg of mutton, and cut it through gritted teeth, "This liquid can not only make it grow, but also repair its damage, as well as metamorphosis and regeneration......"
Only a species with such an ability can be called to have strong fecundity, insect-like ability, insect-like fecundity.
It is not easily killed, death is only the beginning of regeneration.
One descendant is thousands of descendants.
Phew! Gu Jun cut open a small piece of the skin of the leg of mutton, and when he lifted it, he saw that the shriveled inside was tattered and blurred, some were dark green liquid, and some were dark red liquid that was dissolving from the flesh and blood, and then turned into dark green......
"It can be perverted." "Its structure can change," he muttered. ”
On the other side, Wang Ruoxiang collected a small cup of foreign liquid and put it in a -20°C refrigerator.
However, after a while, when he looked at the foreign liquid in the box, Gu Jun guessed that the foreign liquid in the measuring cup showed no signs of freezing at all!
And the dark green liquid seemed to be stirring slowly, as if it had life.
The anatomical experts were stunned, and Xiao Huiwen asked urgently: "Then how to stop?" We still have to study this pattern......"
"Yes, yes!" Ji Li patted his thigh again and again, gesticulating, "Gotta stop quickly!" ”
Gu Jun looked at the cup of foreign liquid that did not freeze, thinking that there was really a cooling phenomenon......
Suddenly, at this time, he only felt a boost in his mind, the anatomical completion of the task increased to 0.51%, and several messages popped up one after another:
