nonregenerative
Cannot grow back
Nonregenerative describes something that does not regenerate or restore itself.
In biology, nonregenerative tissues or organs cannot repair or replace themselves after damage, unlike skin or liver cells.
The term appears frequently in medical contexts discussing nerve damage or hearing loss, where affected cells lack the capacity to regrow.
In electronics, a nonregenerative circuit or receiver does not feed output back to amplify the input signal.
