What effect do the cells surrounding a normal cell have on the cell's growth and division?

A "normal" cell does not divide into daughter cells without taking account of its environment. If energy sources are low in a medium, it will start a signaling system to suspend or even arrest the processes of the cell cycle. And if it makes contact with other cells---determined by proteins on the cell surface which may interact (bind specifically or nonspecifically) with the surface of the other cell (or its cell surface proteins), it may send a signal to do many things. Possibilities include arresting or even initiating a cell cycle (mitosis), altering its cytoskeleton (formation/deformation of microfiilaments and microtubules) to make a better fit or increase cell motility, or even altering its basic metabolism to acquire nutrients in a different manner or from an open (apical or basal) surface. In many cells, there is an inhibition ("contact inhibition") of the cell cycle when cell surfaces contact each other, which is why in culture growth is restricted to monolayers. Not in all cases...cancer cells may form piles or multilayers of cells and not be contact-inhibited.

Does cell division speed up when healing process nears completion?
The rate of cell division slows down,controls on growth are restored, and everything returns to normal.
Is masrurbation effect my growth or height?
No, masturbation does not have any effect on your growth or height. These factors are primarily determined by genetics and overall health. Masturbation is a normal and healthy sexual activity that does not have any negative impact on physical development.
When cells are not responding to normal controls over growth and division they form tissue mass known as?
Cancer or tumor .
Neoplasms occur when cells go wild and the normal controls of cell are lost?
Control over the division of cells is lost.
How would you explain the cell cycle?
The cell cycle is the regular pattern of growth , DNA duplication, and cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells. It has four main stages: gap 1 ( normal growth and development), synthesis ( copying of the DNA ), gap 2 ( more growth and development ), mitosis ( division of the cell nucleus and contents, and cytokinesis (division of the cell cytoplasm) ).
What are factors that can effect the normal body temperature?
illness, excerise, surrounding, stress
When cells are not responding to normal controls over growth and division they form a tissue mass known as?
tumor
What might occur in a leukemia cell that does not occur in a normal cell?
regulation in cell division and growth is stopped

What happens to the rapidly dividing cells when the healing process nearest completion?
The rate of cell division slows down, controls on growth are restored, and everything returns to normal.
When cells stop responding to normal controls over growth and division they?
They can form tumors which may be cancerous.

Neoplasms occur when cells go wild and the normal controls of cell are lost?
Control over the division of cells is lost.
What happens to the rapidly dividing cells when the healing process nears completions?
The rate of cell division slows down,controls on growth are restored, and everything returns to normal.
What is a cancer cell?
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. It can kill an organism by crowding out of normal cells, resulting in the lose of tissue. The main causes of cancer are environmental factors.
