Question

Which cells divide more often than other cells?

Help

Answer 1

Skin cells need to divide as you grow. Hair follicle cells divide to produce more hair. Your lining cells (ex: stomach) and intestinal wall cells need to divide to provide new surfaces. Some cells like blood cells, nerve cells, and muscle cells do not divide after some time.

Answer 2

That means we lose around 50 million cells every day. This is a lot of skin cells to replace, making cell division in skin cells is so important. Other cells, like nerve and brain cells, divide much less often.
