morphallaxis

The regeneration of a body part involving structural or cellular reorganization of existing tissues, occurring chiefly in invertebrates.

The development of a new whole from a piece of an organism by a remodeling of the original piece into the typical form. A characteristic feature of the process is that it takes place without proliferation of new material at the cut surfaces of the piece. It is thus distinguished from the more common form of regeneration, or epimorphosis.

The regeneration of specific tissue due to loss or death of the existing tissue.

regeneration on a reduced scale of a body part; observed especially in invertebrates such as certain lobsters
