Q

what are labile tissues?

A

continuously dividing tissues that are continuously being lost and replaced by proliferating mature cells and maturing tissue stem cells (short G0) – usually contain stem cells which have unlimited capacity to proliferate

Q

what are stable tissues?

A

quiescent tissues that are in a G0 stage of the cell cycle but with growth factor signals at the site of injury, the residual cells will proliferate and new cells will develop from tissue stem cells. there is a limited ability to regenerate (except liver). low level of replication.
