Which of the following cases represents the phenomenon of contact inhibition? a. Healing of an injury b. Growth of a tumor c. Tumor metastasis
I would say B
Normal somatic cells when grown in culture will become growth inhibited when they encounter another cell. [1] The cells in our bodies are governed by growth control mechanisms and cellular senescence (aging). Cell aging puts a limit on the number of times a cell can divide: the more a cell has divided, the less likely it will be to divide again. Growth mechanisms are in place to stop or continue cell growth depending on the conditions.[2] Contact inhibition is a growth mechanism. In most cases when two cells collide they attempt to move in a different direction to avoid future collisions.
