From birth through adulthood, new cells are constantly forming; that's how our bodies grow larger Cells “grow” not by getting bigger, but by dividing in two. ... They divide only to replace cells that have died or been damaged (Growth and Repair)
Longest living cells- ones that last a lifetime * Neurons of the cerebral cortex- Brain cells * Cells of the eye’s inner lens * Muscle cells of the heart These cells never divide at all Every cell has been produced since the birth time
Cells lining the stomach/colon (7 days) Shortest living cells White blood cells- helping the body fight infection only last a few hours-less than a day Cells lining the stomach/colon (7 days) Skin cells – cuts about 14-27 days
Red blood cells (erythrocytes): 120 days * Platelets: 10 days * Neutrophils (a type of white blood cell): 10 days Fat cells (adipose cells): 8 years
