Planarian Regeneration Part 1.mov

[xXDarylTanXx]

If human were to regenerate like this particular flatworm, there is no end to human population. Just cut yourself into half and generate a new you! How cool is that? Uncool......

[blabla1233890]

so basically, biologists just go round cutting things up. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I CUT YOU AND SEE IF YOU REGENERATED!!!!?!?!?!!?!! jesus christ! scientists poke and prod things and no one says shit. wow, this is messed up.

[septicmonk]

@blabla1233890 Oh god buddy you are ignorant. These Planarians naturally reproduce this way, via asexual fission. A Planarian anchors its posterior end and pulls forward and literally tears itself in two. Cutting it up does nothing but accelerate this process. Besides, biologists aren't randomly cutting up animals like a dumbass elementary school student just cause they can. Research such as this improves our understanding of not only these wonderful creatures but ourselves as well.

@blabla1233890 your just so stupid it's unbelievable.

Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always Planaria are non-parasitic flatworms of the biological family Planariidae, belonging to the order Seriata.

[jutsmyface]

Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You Planaria are non-parasitic flatworms of the biological family Planariidae, belonging to the order Seriata.

[godguetar]

I Really Like The Video From Your Planaria are non-parasitic flatworms of the biological family Planariidae, belonging to the order Seriata.

[indiage]

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing Planaria are common to many parts of the world, living in both saltwater and freshwater ponds and rivers

What would happen if the head and tail were cut, but there was a small fragment in the middle holding the halves?

[magicmike1122]

So you dont actually have to reproduce them. Instead, you just cut them in half and they keep multiplying

[reeve121]

Selling planarians would be a good idea. If planarians are edible, it would solve the problem of world hunger.

[test123ok]

wow..so there is no difference between reproduction and regeneration ?

what is the lifespan of the original versus split planarians ?

Is it possible to find a gene (or a set of genes) that make this possible ?

[TypesEvilAspieEyes]

@mablob umm maybe you have a parasite infestation , I donno

[mablob]

what happens if you eat a planarian?

[Perfectlyscience67]

How to kill a planaria: Either wait 7 months for it to die from age, or cut off it's feeding tubes.

[menorak]

Wolverine eats these worms all the time and that is the true reason why Jean don't want to kiss him.

[Hotpants1231]

I've had one of these in a container or water for 7 months!

[rRagnaBR]

They are Immortal!

[johnnyonepiece]

never put it on a blender!!!!!

Very informative video, explained really well :)

[bjkoppar01]

A very good detailed video of regeneration. A quality supposedly present only in lower invertebrates and limited in vertebrates with exceptions. In the mythological stories of India, characters (human) had ability to regenerate lost or cut parts of the body - Like Ravana (the ten headed demon king), Mahishaasura from blood got new total body regenerated . However your video satisfies the biologic mind about the process of asexual reproduction in emergency- the regeneration

you make mexico proud. 

[HanDynasty26349]

then how do u fukin kill it?!?!?!

[vanilla30o]

@HanDynasty26349 burn it lol

[HanDynasty26349]

@vanilla30o i think that will just make its ashes grow into even more

[chirenbo]

@HanDynasty26349 I know how but why we need to kill it...

[bassboy923]

hey!! we watched this in biology yesterday, and were doing a lab, we cut the planaria in several ways, and are watching them regenerate... its pretty cool

[Reneator]

How might it be possible for that 1 to 270th size piece to regenerate to a full worm by lacking enough energy in the remaining parts and lacking an food consumption system?

[crimsonwizard1988]

@Reneator I know right! That's why its a model for regeneration, the tremendous ability to regenerate is still a mystery and the evolution of regeneration is basically unknown!

[pinkroxybabe01]

This video saved me so much time on my biology prac writeup, thanks so much!

[hetna26]

Great!
