Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mature nerve and muscle cells are permanently in a state of nondivision, and they do not divide throughout their lifetime. This is also known as being in a post-mitotic state, meaning it is past the point of cell division. Due to their inability to divide, mature nerve and muscle cells have limited regenerative capabilities.
