What happens to the cells during skin cancer?
The cells die of and it takes a while for the new cells togrow back but if you live through it and the cancer is ALL the way gone then eventually the cells come back! :)
Why are youre skin cells continuously undergoing mitosis?
Bacteria is constantly forming on the outer layer of your skin. It is looking for a way to invade your body. Your body reacts by simply throwing away the outer layer of your skin. It does that a cell at a time, but it does it constantly. Those cells must be replaced. To do that, the cells underneath must constantly reproduce and create new skin cells.
Do humans shed?
Of course! We shed individual skin cells, and around 2-3 million of them everyday! This is our body's way of healing itself, and allowing a new, stronger layer of skin to be.
How is it protective for skin to peel after a severe sunburn?
The skin that peels off is the damaged skin cells, which reveals fresh, healthy skin. It's the same process as when you exfoliate.
Is skin the made of connective tissue?
yes...well put it this way.....the skin is made up of many, many cells that become one that form a tissue...so are your organs...i am only in jr. high but i am sure that my answer has the slightest effect on what you have to say :)

Why are skin cells and muscle cells different?
skin cells are very special in the way they regulate your temperature and protect the body from germs. The fact that they help change your skin colour from pale to tan that is pretty special.
Is exfoliating good?
It is good, once you are not overexfoliating! :) The skin is constantly generating new skin cells at the lower layer (the dermis) and sending them to the surface (the epidermis). As the cells rise to the surface they gradually die and become filled with keratin. These keratinized skin cells are essential because they give our skin its protective quality. But they are constantly sloughing off to make way for younger cells. As we age the process of cell turnover slows down. Cells start to pile up unevenly on the skin's surface, giving it a dry, rough, dull appearance. Exfoliation is beneficial because it removes those cells that are clinging on, revealing the fresher, younger skin cells below. It is possible, however, to overexfoliate, especially on the delicate skin of the face. Overexfoliating will dry and irritate the skin. Hope this helps!
Why it is advantage to have dead cells on the surface of the skin?
It is an advantage because,if you get hurt in any way,newly-formed cells will not be damaged.

What parts of your bodies are made of dead cells?
Our hair and nails is dead tissue. in addition, the very outermost layer of our skin is also dead. We have 3 layers of skin. It constantly grows outwards so that we are always protected.
Why does a sunburn peel?
A sunburn is a first degree burn. As painful as being scalded with hot water and just as damaging to the flesh killing the cells of several layers of skin cells. When skin cells die they dry and flake off and we usually never even notice. 90% of the dust in a home is comprised of dead skin cells of the occupants. Dandruff is also nothing more than dead skin cells. When you get a sunburn, the body stops supplying those cells with nutrients. The tender flesh beneath is still in close proximity to blood capillaries and nerve tissues. Standard secretion of sweat and skin oils help to push away and shed the damaged and dead skin cells when it is ready. That is what causes the peeling. It's usually better to let the skin peel naturally, so the tender flesh beneath isn't exposed until it is ready.
