Study Notes
Permanent Cells
- Defined as cells that don't have the ability to multiply.
- Cannot enter the cell cycle and are permanently differentiated.
- Key examples include neurons and striated skeletal or cardiac muscle cells.
- Permanent cells can only undergo hypertrophy (increase in cell size) or atrophy (decrease in cell size).
Stable Cells
- These cells multiply only when stimulated by external factors.
- Usually found in the G0 resting phase of the cell cycle.
- Can divide, producing daughter cells of the same lineage.
- Require stimulation by hormones and growth factors to transition into the G1 phase.
- Examples include progenitor blood cells, skin cells, liver cells, and smooth muscle.
- Capable of undergoing hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia (increase in the number of cells).
Labile Cells
- Characterized by constant multiplication throughout life.
- Most affected by chemotherapy targeting M (mitosis) and S (synthesis) phases due to their high mitotic activity.
- Contain stem cells, which are essential for regeneration and repair.
- Examples include bone marrow stem cells, skin cells, and intestinal cells.
- Vulnerable to damage from radiation and S-phase chemotherapy drugs due to their rapid division rates.
