Just above the Dermis is a layer of cells called "Stratum Basale" where mitosis is continuously happening. This helps us to keep our integumentary system up to par and able to keep microbes out in the case of a tear or cut in our skin, because our skin cells are being continually replaced.

What would happen if our cells did not go through mitosis?
We would probably be in a lot of trouble if we didn't have mitosis! In fact, we probably wouldn't exist at all. From the time an egg is fertilized by a sperm, mitosis starts to happen. And in our daily lives, skin cells, stomach cells, hair cells, bone cells, and other tissue cells are undergoing mitosis!
What are Examples of plants cells undergoing mitosis?
Well this question is hard. A cell that goes through mitosis would be cells like skin cells, and any other somatic cell. You can also be asking of any practical applications of mitosis. Healing is an example of mitosis, growing is an example of mitosis, even cancer is an example of mitosis.
What is the substance that helps promote mitosis in epidermal skin?
Epidermal growth factor is the substance that helps promote mitosis in epidermal skin cells .
What kind of cells result from mitosis?
mitosis= body cells or somatic cells Meiosis= sex cells or germ cells
What types of cells in your body undergo mitosis?
all of them. that is how your body replenishes the dead cells, such as your dead skin cells that fall off your skin daily.
Why skin cells undergoing mitosis continously?
All cells are undergoing mitosis continuously to replace, cells that are dying continuously.
Why are skin cell undergoing mitosis continously?
All cells are undergoing mitosis continuously to replace, cells that are dying continuously.
Why are skin cells undergoing mitosis continuosly?
Because we are constantly shedding dead skin cells so they need to be replaced.
What skin cells undergoing mitosis continuously?
The very top layer of the dermis is always undergoing mitosis as the top layer (epidermis) is being lost all the time.
Why are skin undergoing mitosis regularley?
Skin cells die very quickly. Mitosis needs to occur regularly in order for the skin to regenerate and continue to protect vital organs in the body and help with survival.

Do all cells types divide at the same rate?
No, cells undergoing meiosis take longer time than those undergoing mitosis
When cells divide to replace dead skin cells the DNA is replicated exactly what advantage does this give the new cells?
By undergoing mitosis the new cells have the same durability as the old one and can perform the same function as the old one.

Are skin cells produced by mitosis?
Yes. All of your body's cells are produced by mitosis (skin, nerve cells, cells of your organs, etc.). The only exception is that your gametes (egg or sperm) cells are produced by meiosis. Every cell in your body except for your egg or sperm (whatever you have) have been produced by mitosis.
Why are youre skin cells continuously undergoing mitosis?
Bacteria is constantly forming on the outer layer of your skin. It is looking for a way to invade your body. Your body reacts by simply throwing away the outer layer of your skin. It does that a cell at a time, but it does it constantly. Those cells must be replaced. To do that, the cells underneath must constantly reproduce and create new skin cells.
What process produces more skin cells?
Cell division (mitosis) produces more skin cells.Cell division (mitosis) produces more skin cells.
