Skin cells die very quickly. Mitosis needs to occur regularly in order for the skin to regenerate and continue to protect vital organs in the body and help with survival.
All cells are undergoing mitosis continuously to replace, cells that are dying continuously.
All cells are undergoing mitosis continuously to replace, cells that are dying continuously.
The very top layer of the dermis is always undergoing mitosis as the top layer (epidermis) is being lost all the time.
Because we are constantly shedding dead skin cells so they need to be replaced.
Just above the Dermis is a layer of cells called "Stratum Basale" where mitosis is continuously happening. This helps us to keep our integumentary system up to par and able to keep microbes out in the case of a tear or cut in our skin, because our skin cells are being continually replaced.

The state that the cell is in when it isn't undergoing the process of mitosis is Interphase.
It would be in the Interphase stage. Interphase is the stage where a normal somatic cell is not undergoing mitosis and is the period of growth and DNA replication before the start of Mitosis.
The cells in the corpus layer region undergo rapid mitosis
