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.

Why are skin cells flat?

Skin cells, specifically the outer layer called the epidermis, are flat to provide a protective barrier for the body. The flat shape allows them to form tight connections with neighboring cells, creating a strong barrier against pathogens and preventing water loss. Additionally, the flatness of skin cells helps in shedding dead cells easily, renewing the skin's surface.


How does the skin regeneration process work to repair and renew damaged skin cells?

The skin regeneration process involves the formation of new skin cells to replace damaged ones. This process is mainly driven by specialized cells called stem cells located in the skin's deeper layers. When the skin is damaged, these stem cells divide and differentiate into new skin cells, which migrate to the damaged area and form a new layer of skin. This helps repair and renew the skin, restoring its function and appearance.
