Regenerative capacity of cells
labile cells
- constantly dividing
Examples: - epithelium of skin, uterus, GI tract
- bone marrow
stable cells
quiescence
slow replication to maintain tissue size
Examples:
- liver
- endocrine glands
- renal tubular epithelium
permanent cells
can't proliferate, have left cell cycle
Examples:
- brain
- myocardium
- skeletal muscle cells
