All cells die at some point. If cells, including skin cells didn't divide, there would be no living skin cells. And that's not good.

What happens to skin cells when they are injured?
When a person breaks a bone or has a cut, the cells at the edge of the injury are stimulated to divide rapidly. The new cells that form begin to heal the break or cut. As it heals, the cells stop dividing and growing.
How many chromosomes will the new skin cells have?
Skin cells divide via mitosis - therefore the new cells will have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. Therefore in humans, the new skin cells will have 46 chromosomes.
List three types of body cells that must be replaced frequently?
Muscle cells,Skin cells, and white blood cells.
Which cells don't divide?
Brain cell do not divide in later life. Cardiac muscle divides itself less than 1% each year in humans.
What is the epidermal layer that produces new cells?
Stratum germinativum, also called stratum basale or basal cell layer.
Do adult skin cells divide?
yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.
Do skin cells divide?
yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.
What is an example of a type of cell that divides very often in an adult human?
Epithelial cells, such as those lining the intestines or skin, divide frequently in adult humans to help maintain and repair tissues.
Why does skin cells divide more often than liver cells?
Skin cells are damaged faster than your liver cells so the divide more often
How long does it take for one parent cell to become two daughter cells?
In humans, rapidly dividing cells, such as skin and gut divide as often as once per day. Other cells such as brain and nerve tissue divide rarely in an adult.
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).
Which layer of the skin produces the skin cells?
The Bascal Cell Layer, the deepest layer where cells divide to produce new skin cells.
Where do the cells divide to produce hair?
matrix cells
Why does a skin cells divide more often then a liver cells?
because the skin is constantly needing repair
What happens to skin cells when they are injured?

What cells will not continue to divide skin cell nerve cell epithelial cells lining the cheeks all of these?
Nerve cells will most likely NOT continue to divide.
How many chromosomes will the new skin cells have?
Skin cells divide via mitosis - therefore the new cells will have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. Therefore in humans, the new skin cells will have 46 chromosomes.
