That said:

"In the small intestine, stem cells in the crypts generate new absorptive, goblet, enteroendocrine, and Paneth cells, replacing most of the epithelial lining of the intestine every week. The diverse fates of the stem-cell progeny are controlled, in part at least, by the Notch signaling pathway, while the Wnt pathway is required to maintain the stem-cell population."

Deepest dividing epitheial layer of the skin?

The deepest dividing epithelial layer of the skin is the stratum basale, also known as the basal layer. It is composed of a single row of columnar or cuboidal keratinocytes that undergo mitosis to produce new skin cells. This layer is crucial for the regeneration of the epidermis and contains melanocytes, which produce melanin, contributing to skin pigmentation. Additionally, it is anchored to the underlying dermis by the basement membrane.


Is food is digested in the stomach chemical or physical?
