No, cells in the body do not stop producing during adulthood; however, the rate of cell division and regeneration varies by tissue type. Some cells, like those in the skin and gut, continue to regenerate frequently, while others, like neurons, have limited capacity for regeneration. Additionally, certain stem cells in tissues can still divide and differentiate throughout adulthood to maintain or repair tissues. Overall, while the overall growth and regenerative capacity may change, cellular production continues in various forms.
Out of all of those statements, the only true statement is that all cells come from other cells. Cells do not stop producing themselves once one reaches adulthood and organs do not make cells in the body. Also, cells do not depend on the brain to create more cells.
No, the number of cells in a person's body is not directly related to their body weight or size. The number of cells is determined during development and remains relatively constant throughout adulthood. However, fat cells (adipocytes) can increase in size in response to weight gain, but do not necessarily increase in number.
Cells divide as the zygote becomes a fetus with growth and development into babies when born, cells also divide with growth after birth into adulthood and to replenish and renew damaged or lost cells.
The thymus gland shrinks after puberty due to a process called thymic involution, which is influenced by hormonal changes in the body. During puberty, increased levels of sex hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen, signal the body to reduce the size and activity of the thymus. This decline is part of the natural maturation of the immune system, as the body shifts from producing T-cells in the thymus to relying more on peripheral immune responses. Consequently, the thymus becomes less critical for immune function as the individual reaches adulthood.
Immune cells such as macrophages and neutrophils are able to engulf foreign cells through a process called phagocytosis. B cells and T cells are specialized in producing antibodies to target and neutralize foreign invaders.

Mitosis is the duplication of cells DNA. Its functions are for growth of the body from baby to adulthood and repair injuries of the body.

White blood cells are the body's primary defense against infections. They detect and eliminate pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances. White blood cells also help in the body's immune response by producing antibodies and activating other immune cells.
The spleen is responsible for producing white blood cells. These cells are extremely important in their role fighting infections in the body.
