Cells that line the digestive tract reproduce more quickly because they absorb more nutrients. This is because the food travels through the digestive tract.

What is the product in protease?
Protease breaks down proteins. So the products of the breakdown of proteins are amino acids. This is an enzyme often found in the stomach and small intestine.
Do liver cells divide?
Yes they can but it takes about a year for the cells to go through the full process of regeneration.
Looking at a cell under a microscope you note that it is a prokarote?
- prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and eukaryotic cells do. - prokaryotic cells lack some organelles and eukaryotic cells do not. - prokaryotic cells are not found in humans and eukaryotic cells are. - prokaryotic cells are always unicellular and eukaryotic cells are often multicellular. - prokaryotic cells reproduce/divide by binary fission and eukaryotic cells reproduce/divide by mitosis/meiosis
Does colon cancer occur most often in the large or small intestines?
Colon cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the large intestine (colon), which is the final part of the digestive tract12. The large intestine is about 5 feet long and absorbs water and salt from the food that passes through it. The small intestine, also called the small bowel, is a long tube that connects the stomach and the large intestine. It is about 20 feet long and is responsible for digesting and absorbing nutrients from the food that enters it. Cancer of the small intestine is much less common than cancer of the large intestine. There are different types of small bowel cancer, such as adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, lymphoma, and sarcoma. Therefore, colon cancer occurs most often in the large intestine, not the small intestine.
Do cancer cells divide?
Yes, cancer cells divide. Uncontrolled cell division is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Normally, cell division is tightly regulated by the cell cycle, a series of steps that ensure cells divide in an orderly manner to replace old or damaged cells and to support growth and development. However, cancer cells lose this regulation and can divide uncontrollably, leading to the formation of tumors. The uncontrolled division of cancer cells can result from various genetic mutations and abnormalities that disrupt the normal regulatory mechanisms of the cell cycle. These mutations can affect genes that control cell growth, cell division, DNA repair, and cell death (apoptosis). Cancer cells may also have the ability to evade signals that normally inhibit cell division, allowing them to continue dividing even when external signals would normally prompt them to stop. Moreover, cancer cells often have the ability to bypass the normal mechanisms that limit the number of times a cell can divide (known as replicative senescence), allowing them to continue dividing indefinitely. The uncontrolled division of cancer cells can lead to the formation of tumors, which can grow and invade surrounding tissues. This unregulated growth and invasion can lead to the spread of cancer to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis. Understanding the mechanisms of cell division in cancer cells is crucial for developing effective treatments that target the specific vulnerabilities of cancer cells while minimizing harm to normal cells. Many cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy, work by interfering with various aspects of cell division and growth in cancer cells.
How many days must stomach lining cells divide?
The stomach is lined with cells, collectively called epithelial tissues. These cells are constantly being replaced and usually complete the cell cycle within 24 hours.
Why does skin cells divide more often than liver cells?
Skin cells are damaged faster than your liver cells so the divide more often
Why do children's cells divide more often?
because they are growing
What types of cells divide the least often?
Answer: The internal lining of your digestive tract. Explanation: The internal lining of your digestive tract receives a lot of wear and tear. As a result, cells that line your stomach and intestine are replaced every few days. In contrast, cells that make up the rest of your intestine (mainly smooth muscle) and many of your internal organs, such as lungs, kidney, and liver, divide only occasionaly, in respons to injury or cell death.
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).
Why does a skin cells divide more often then a liver cells?
because the skin is constantly needing repair
Can you breath though your butt?
No. The anus only serves as an exit for waste. There are often large obstructions in the large intestine, in addition to impassable sphincters separating the large and small intestine and the small intestine and the stomach, and the presence of lots of liquids in the small intestine and the stomach. You can breath through your mouth, your nose, or (in the case of some smokers) a small recessed hole in the neck directly connected to the windpipe.
Which tissue has the most cells reproducing?
In terms of overall cells, it would be your skin cells, just from the sheer amount of skin. In terms of how often the cells reproduce, that would be the lining of your stomach. The hydrochloric acid in your stomach eats away at your stomach lining quickly, so your body must rapidly replace them.
Where does the good bacteria live in our digestive system?
A person has "good" bacteria in the large intestine. These are often called probiotics. A person also has many on the skin and they crowd out harmful ones.
How often do intestinal cells reproduce?
Intestinal cells reproduce frequently. In the colon the cells reproduce about once every 3 to 4 days. In the small intestine the cells reproduce about once a week.
How often do human human skin cells divide each day?
65 times a day
What is the product in protease?
Protease breaks down proteins. So the products of the breakdown of proteins are amino acids. This is an enzyme often found in the stomach and small intestine.
