It varies dramatically depending on what type of cell it is. For example, blood cells and skin cells are constantly being replaced, so they don't live for very long. However, your brain and nerve cells NEVER get replaced, so they live until you die. That's why if you hurt your spine in, for example, a car wreck, you are likely paralyzed for life, whereas if you scrape your skin it will grow back.
It varies for the different cells in your body. Brain cells can last for your entire life while skin cells are almost constantly being shed and replaced.
A cell lives for at least 60 or 64 day and then another cell is born.
2 years.
neurons
Theoretically, with the proper preservation in a lab, stem cells may last indefinitely. The first cell lines still exist. In the body, one produces undifferentiated cells in their marrow up until death.
The longest cells are neurons (nerve cells) with a length of 90cm-100cm linking the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to other parts of the body.
Cells in the human body can freeze if they are subjected to cold for a long enough period. Frostbite is, and has been, a known threat to individuals who are out in the cold without protective clothing.
Nerve cells have to be long enough to extend from where they are located in the body, the hands and feet for example, to the spinal chord or brain. Some nerve cells in a giraffe may be ten feet long. Others may be very short.
The cells that last the longest are nerve cells, they last a lifetime
The human body can last about 3-4 minutes before cells begin to die.

Cocaine may last in your body for about 15 hours.

no some cells only last a few days or hours while some can last for years at a time
According to a healthy lifestyle book that I just read recently, it is in theory (not proven yet) that they last for approximentally 4 months. Your body is always making new blood cells, so there is no need to worry if you have a healthy & active lifestyle.
