Why do cells lining the stomach divide more quickly than those in the liver?
They are sloughed off at a tremendous rate during digestion!
Why do the cells lining the stomach divide more quickly than those in the liver?
The cells lining the stomach divide more quickly than those in the liver because the stomach is constantly exposed to acidic enzymes and mechanical stress from food digestion, which can damage the lining and require more frequent cell renewal. In contrast, the liver is not exposed to such harsh conditions and does not require as rapid cell turnover for its functions.
Why does skin cells divide more often than liver cells?
Skin cells are damaged faster than your liver cells so the divide more often
Which process occurs when new liver cells are produced from old liver cells?
The process is called liver regeneration, where old liver cells divide to produce new liver cells. This helps in repairing damaged tissue and maintaining normal liver function.
What cell divides infrequently?
Liver cells divide about once a year, and neurons (nerve cells) never divide once we are born (and when they are mature).
Why does a skin cells divide more often then a liver cells?
because the skin is constantly needing repair
What is an example of a somatic?
Any cell that is not a sex cell (sperm/egg). i.e. body cells, such as skin cells, stomach cells, liver cells
Is alcohol digested slowly by the stomach and small intestine?
Alcohol is absorbed quickly by the stomach and small intestine, entering the bloodstream soon after consumption. The liver metabolizes alcohol at a steady rate, regardless of how quickly it's consumed, which is why drinking too much alcohol can overwhelm the liver's ability to process it efficiently.
What do liver cells do during mitosis?
During mitosis, liver cells undergo cell division to produce two identical daughter cells. This process allows the liver to regenerate and maintain its functionality. Liver cells replicate their DNA, distribute their chromosomes equally, and then divide to ensure the continual renewal of liver tissue.
Does the liver secrete hydrochloric acid?
NO. Your liver is a chemical processing factory, where many chemicals are transformed into others. The HCl in your stomach is produced by local cells, no doubt in response to some bio-trigger.
Do liver cells also stop dividing after birth?
All cells will stop dividing when you die. When you're born, cells slow down the dividing, but don't completely stop.
What is above the stomach?
The liver is above the stomach.
