Best Answer

Mitosis does not occur in organs but rather the cells of those organs (excluding the sex oragns)

MITOSIS is the DUPLICATION of CELLS

and should not be confussed with

MEIOSIS which is the the DIVISION of SEX CELLS

I'm not edicated enough on this subject to go into further detail because i am unware of exactly how much of mitosis you would wish to know about

Mitosis most commonly occurs in organs that have a natural replacement function. Skin cells for example are constantly sloughed from the body - so at the base of the skin are skin stem cells that when they divide by mitosis produce another stem cell and a cell that will differentiate into a new skin cell.

Other organs that naturally replace cells include the intestine, blood (mainly in bone marrow) and in males the immature sperm stem cells give rise to more immature sperm cells that then undergo meiosis.

Mitosis occurs in every body cell except the ovary. That cell will be in the follicule of the ovary and will form an egg.
