simple organism- to study regeneration. This type of regeneration deals with whole bodies if wished, not only the repairing of fleshwounds, like humans do. These organisms possess the remarkable ability to use stem cells to create organs from up to 279ths of a single planarian. You can cut the planaria in several different configurations, as well I recently found that the planaria do not feel pain and so the experiment is fairly easy to do. For this experiment in particular I had cut the planarian into 6 sections, and had accidentally stabbed a part of my planarian while I was studying the figure. The planaria, after days of growth will show a massive increase to their bodys mass. The planaria are creatures who do not take kindly to light and so grow better in darker spaces. They are fairly small creatures, with mine measuring only about an inch in length. The planarias system is made of a simple nervous system with an oval appearance and a bundle of nerves in the head, they contain both reproductive organs for the typical sexes(f,m). The planaria, unlike humans do not contain a circulatory system, and therefore do not feel the need to heal wounds since the purpose is to clot blood from leaving the body. Because of this planaria take a healthier option by regeneration, where they reprogram body parts.
