because they have more bacteria cells, since bacteria divide faster then somatic cells.

No, human cells divide by mitosis and meiosis.

What human cell undergo constant mitosis?

Labile cells (the kinds of cells that can divide throughout their lifetime) normally do so within the organ they constitute. Some examples of labile cells are skin cells, cells of the gastrointestinal tract, and blood cells; however, blood cells divide in the bone marrow and lymphocytes divide in the lymph nodes. Other kinds of cells in the body are either stable cells (that do not normally divide--this includes nerve cells) and permanent cells (that do not have the ability to divide.)


What cell divides infrequently?

Liver cells divide about once a year, and neurons (nerve cells) never divide once we are born (and when they are mature).


What is the fastest human dividing cell?

The fastest dividing human cells are epithelial cells. These form the skin and line the cavities of the body. They need to divide quickly and replace themselves due to physical wearing away of the cells. Skin cells divide once every 20-30 minutes


Why do all human cells divide at the same rate throughout life?

They don't. Some grow and divide all the time (skin cells) and some never do (nerve cells) and some only at times when needed.


Can a human cell that is cultured in a dish divide?

Most human cells when placed in a dish will not divide. The majority of cells that make up a human are post-mitotic. They have differentiated and specialized to carry out physiological functions for the body and have lost their capacity for division. However, a small percentage of human cells are stem cells or progenitor cells and do have a capacity to divide and if cultured under the correct conditions will undergo mitosis. There is a slight caveat - whenever you're culturing a cell in a dish, you are taking a cell out of its normal environment and putting it under very unnatural circumstances. Thus, it is not unknown for cells to behave oddly in a dish - cells that should divide don't because we don't understand the conditions necessary to promote their division. And sometimes cells that shouldn't divide do because we have subjected them to unnatural conditions that alter their identity and behavior.
