Heteromorphosis
Heteromorphosis[1] (Greek: έτερος - other; morphe - form) — atypical reparative (traumatic) regeneration[2] than new organ or a tissue is different from the old one[3] or (embryonic) development anomalies, including an abnormal location,[4] or an abnormal shape.[5] It should not be confused with homoeosis, which means big change in tissue structure of an organ.[3]
Jacques Loeb offered this term in 1892, then he was in experiments of distortion of polarity of hydroids.[2] Many organisms from protozoans to the chordate may have heteromorphosis examples, but it is easier to find in lower forms of animals:
- Earthworm: distortion of polarity: replacement revoved tail with head end[3]
- Actinia: development of a cut into second mouth[2]
- Decapods: the replacement of removed eyes with antenna[3]
