The number of cells in the human body is regulated by a balance of cell proliferation and cell death. Cell division, primarily through the process of mitosis, allows for growth and tissue repair, while apoptosis, or programmed cell death, ensures the removal of damaged or unnecessary cells. Additionally, factors such as stem cell differentiation and immune responses also play roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis. This dynamic equilibrium is essential for proper physiological function and overall health.

How do antibiotics work to target bacteria without causing harm to the surrounding human cells?

Antibiotics work by targeting specific structures or processes in bacteria that are essential for their survival, such as cell wall formation or protein synthesis. These structures or processes are not present in human cells, so the antibiotics are able to selectively kill the bacteria without harming human cells.
