Note 127 — THE INDIVIDUAL ORGANISM WITH REGARD TO FORM AND METABOLISM (continued 4)

A full “analytical theory of regeneration” has been developed elsewhere (Organ. Regul. p. 44, etc.). I can only mention here that many different problems have to be studied by such a theory. The formation of the “Anlage” out of the body and the differentiation of it into the completely formed results of regeneration are two of them. The former embraces the question about the potencies not only of the regenerating body but of the elements of the Anlage also; the latter has to deal with the specific order of the single acts of regenerative processes.
