Answer:

Not usually, though on very rare occasions it has been reported to happen. My left index finger was cut off at the first joint when I was about 2 1/2 years old, by my estimate, in a door. It was found about an hour and a half later, and packed on ice while my parents rushed me to the hospital to have it sewn back on. It didn't take and withered up like a raisin. I was deeply saddened and tried to get my mother to tape it back on when I bumped it and it fell off at the dinner table. We prayed about it, and weeks later she noticed a growth that looked similar to a nail. It continued growing up to a point where it was functional and then stopped. It is slightly shorter than the other hand index finger because it lacks the padding at the tip. The nail also curls downward, and has scar tissue underneath, but I can do everything as if I had not lost the finger. I type, play guitar and everything else. I just wish it did not look any different. I also have to be careful not to cut open the scar tissue when I clip that fingernail.

There are some studies that suggest that before the age of 9 years of age, a person can grow back a finger tip.

No, broken fingers do not grow back. When a finger is broken, it will heal but may not return to its original shape or function, especially if the break is severe. It is important to seek medical attention to ensure proper healing and function of the finger.

The bones in a broken finger finger will usually heal, although they may heal crooked if you haven't had then set and cared for them while healing.

But if a finger has been entirely lost, as in cut or torn off, it won't grow back.

Depending on how damaged it was, how close to a good hospital you are, and what finger it was, it can sometimes be surgically reattached, although results vary.

Depends on how much of it you lose, and how the wound is treated.

If you lose something like half the nail, or even down to the cuticle, and the cut is left open, then something fairly functional and natural looking can grow back.

But the further towards the joint, and particularly if the wound is stitched up, the more likely you are to end up with a stump.

Not in any really important amount.

There is some evidence that a fingertip might regrow, but that's about it. And while functional, they still do consist of scar tissue and not a complete regeneration.

Do bones reproduce?

No, bones do not reproduce. However, they have the ability to repair themselves through a process called remodeling, where old bone tissue is broken down and replaced with new bone tissue.


What if a broken bone was never set?

If a broken bone is not properly aligned and set, it can lead to long-term complications such as deformity, limited mobility, and chronic pain. The bone may also have difficulty healing, resulting in delayed or improper bone growth. It is important to seek medical attention to ensure that a broken bone is set and aligned correctly to promote proper healing and prevent future issues.


Can a Uvula grow back?

Your uvula is not supposed to grow back once it has been removed.


Why do you think you can grow new skin over a cut on your hand but you cant grow new fingers?

When you get a cut on your hand, the skin cells around the wound can regenerate and multiply to cover the area and heal the cut. However, the complex structures and tissues that make up a finger, such as bones, nerves, and blood vessels, are more specialized and cannot regenerate in the same way as simple skin cells. Therefore, fingers cannot grow back like skin does over a cut.


If you are fingered with two fingers can you break your hymen but what if they went very far inside with their fingers and you bled you lose it do i feel emotional if i didn't lose it then?

Breaking your hymen can happen during various activities, including fingering. If you bled during or after fingering and are concerned, it's essential to seek medical advice to rule out any injuries. Any emotional response to this experience is valid, and it's normal to have a range of feelings about it, regardless of whether or not the hymen was broken.
