| If the body of an intact Hydra is severed in two, it regenerates by morphallaxis, which does not require new growth. |
| This process of reorganization, called morphallaxis, is the most efficient way for simple organisms to regenerate. |
| He coined the terms morphallaxis and epimorphosis to describe the two major types of regeneration. |
| The result of morphallaxis is usually a smaller but complete individual, derived entirely from the tissues of part of the original animal. |
| Recently we have begun investigations of synaptic molecules up-regulated specifically during morphallaxis. |
