Question

Replacement of cells of skin takes place in

• A. 1 - 2 days
• B. 2 - 4 days
• C. 1 - 2 weeks
• D. 4 - 5 weeks

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1 - 2 weeks

Our skin cells constantly shed and are renewed. The skin is the body's outer covering and protection and is exposed to injuries and pollution. So, there is a quick turnover of about 1-2 weeks where the skin cells are replaced. So, when we get superficial injuries, it generally takes 1-2 weeks time to be fine.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C), '1-2 weeks'.
