How long do stomach lining cells live?

Stomach lining cells typically live for around 3 to 7 days before being replaced. The rapid turnover of these cells helps protect the stomach from the strong acids and enzymes it produces for digestion.


What types of cells divide the least often?

Answer: The internal lining of your digestive tract. Explanation: The internal lining of your digestive tract receives a lot of wear and tear. As a result, cells that line your stomach and intestine are replaced every few days. In contrast, cells that make up the rest of your intestine (mainly smooth muscle) and many of your internal organs, such as lungs, kidney, and liver, divide only occasionaly, in respons to injury or cell death.


How often do red blood cells replace themselves?

Your stomach cells are exposed to the harsh stomach acids, if they were not replaced as rapidly as they are the stomach acid would not be able to be contained thus digesting itself and exposing the rest of your body to the acid. As for the red blood cells our body can only replace about 1% of them per day, essentially there are around 20-30 trillion red blood cells in your body, replacing 200-300 billion cells that are so vital is no easy task. But its easy to assume that only a fraction are replaced every day to use each cell to its fullest life before recycling it. On a side note every 7 years your a totally new you with 100% new cells.
