Where do the cells divide to produce hair?

Hair cells divide in the hair follicle, which is located in the outer layer of the skin called the epidermis. The hair follicle contains stem cells that divide and differentiate to produce new hair cells, eventually forming the hair shaft that grows out of the skin.


Which body cell divides more quickly?

Cells in the dermis (skin) divide the fastest. You are always rubbing the top dead layer off and that has to be replaced. An interesting fact: most of the "dust" in your house is skin cells.


Do all cells types divide at the same rate?

No, different cell types divide at different rates. For example, skin cells divide rapidly, while heart cells divide very slowly or not at all. The rate of cell division is determined by factors such as their function and location in the body.


What human cell undergo constant mitosis?

Labile cells (the kinds of cells that can divide throughout their lifetime) normally do so within the organ they constitute. Some examples of labile cells are skin cells, cells of the gastrointestinal tract, and blood cells; however, blood cells divide in the bone marrow and lymphocytes divide in the lymph nodes. Other kinds of cells in the body are either stable cells (that do not normally divide--this includes nerve cells) and permanent cells (that do not have the ability to divide.)


What Most cells in the adult body are no longer capable of?

Most cells in the adult body are no longer capable of mitosis, meaning they cannot divide and replicate themselves. While certain cells, like skin and blood cells, can regenerate, many specialized cells, such as neurons and muscle cells, have limited or no ability to undergo cell division after maturity. This lack of regenerative capacity can contribute to the challenges of healing and tissue repair in adults.

Why the skin cells of an adult must divide?

Skin cells of an adult must divide to replace old or damaged cells, maintain skin integrity, and perform repair processes in response to injury or infection. This continuous cell turnover is essential for keeping the skin healthy and functioning properly.


Do skin cells divide?

yes. all skin cells divide and divide and divide all over your body.


What is an example of a type of cell that divides very often in an adult human?

Hair cells, skin cells, various blood cells, sperm precursors, various GI tract cells.


Why does skin cells divide more often than liver cells?

Skin cells are damaged faster than your liver cells so the divide more often


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).


Which layer of the skin produces the skin cells?

The Bascal Cell Layer, the deepest layer where cells divide to produce new skin cells.


Where do the cells divide to produce hair?

Hair cells divide in the hair follicle, which is located in the outer layer of the skin called the epidermis. The hair follicle contains stem cells that divide and differentiate to produce new hair cells, eventually forming the hair shaft that grows out of the skin.


Why does a skin cells divide more often then a liver cells?

because the skin is constantly needing repair


Which body cell divides more quickly?

Cells in the dermis (skin) divide the fastest. You are always rubbing the top dead layer off and that has to be replaced. An interesting fact: most of the "dust" in your house is skin cells.


What cells do not divide during mitosis?

Germ cells use a similar, but not identical, process to divide known as meiosis. Many adult cells do not divide at all under normal conditions, such as neurons and red blood cells.


Which cells would you expect mitosis to occur more often adult persons skin or adult persons teeth?

Mitosis occurs more often in the cells of adult person's skin compared to adult person's teeth. Skin cells are continuously dividing and regenerating, whereas the cells in adult teeth stop dividing once they are fully formed.


How does Mitosis help skin repair?

Mitosis is the process by which cells divide to increase their numbers. When skin is damaged, mitosis allows skin cells to rapidly divide and replace the damaged cells, leading to the repair of the skin. This process helps in healing wounds and maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier.
