In some human cells, the cell cycle takes about 16 hours. Cells in humans that are needed for repair, growth or replacement, like skin and bone cells,constantly repeat the cycle. Kha'Lil

Constantly. Body (and plant and animal) cells are dividing all the time.


What human cells divide the slowest?

The slowest dividing cells in the human body are the nerve cells. Nerve cells generate and conduct electrical impulses, allowing communication between the central nervous system and the rest of the body.


What is the fastest human dividing cell?

The fastest dividing human cells are epithelial cells. These form the skin and line the cavities of the body. They need to divide quickly and replace themselves due to physical wearing away of the cells. Skin cells divide once every 20-30 minutes


Why is skin the place in the body where you would expect to find large numbers of dividing cells?

The skin is one of the places you would expect a large number of dividing cells because the skin is constantly being shed. If there weren't a large population of dividing cells replacing those that are lost, the skin would be completely gone within about five days.


What are facts about human cells?

human cells are eukaryotic. Human cells are constantly regenerating.Cell Count in a human body is anywhere between 50-100 trillion. Anti oxidants help to keep human cells healthy. Cells in the brain and nervous system do not Reproduce. Not all brain cells are neurons.

Is there a cell in the human body that can't divide?

Permanent cells are incapable of dividing. Examples of these cells include neurons of the brain. Sperm and ovum cells or gametes are actually reproductive cells that do divide by meiosis to reach a haploid number of chromosomes; they cannot be considered somatic (body) cells.


Why is cancer considered to be a disorder of the cells and how is it related to cell division?

All of the cells in the human body have the same genetic information. They also have a sequence that tells the cell when it is time to stop reproducing. Cancer inhibits this sequence. Without this genetic information, cells keep dividing and dividing until a tumor is created. When the false information in these cells is spread around the body, critical areas can be affected.
