It varies dramatically depending on what type of cell it is. For example, blood cells and skin cells are constantly being replaced, so they don't live for very long. However, your brain and nerve cells NEVER get replaced, so they live until you die. That's why if you hurt your spine in, for example, a car wreck, you are likely paralyzed for life, whereas if you scrape your skin it will grow back.

The cells in your body are continuously disassembled and reassembled what kind of body cells last the longest?

How long do stem sells last within a human?

Theoretically, with the proper preservation in a lab, stem cells may last indefinitely. The first cell lines still exist. In the body, one produces undifferentiated cells in their marrow up until death.

Brain cells, particularly neurons, are known to have a long lifespan and turn over the least frequently compared to other body cells. Some neurons can last a lifetime without being replaced, unlike other types of cells in the body that have a faster turnover rate.


How long do skin cells on the body typically live before they are shed and replaced?

Skin cells on the body typically live for about 2-4 weeks before they are shed and replaced.


What are the longest cells in the human body and how long are they?

The longest cells are neurons (nerve cells) linking the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to other parts of the body. For example, for every receptor cell in your feet, there is a sensory neuron extending from the foot to the base of the spine.

What it the name of the long cells that can stretch and contract in the body?

The name of the long cells that can stretch and contract in the body are called muscle fibers. These fibers make up our muscles and are responsible for movement and generating force in the body.


How long do red blood cells stay in the body?

According to a healthy lifestyle book that I just read recently, it is in theory (not proven yet) that they last for approximentally 4 months. Your body is always making new blood cells, so there is no need to worry if you have a healthy & active lifestyle.
