Here's a general matching of various structures with the time it takes for each to be replaced through cell division:
1. **Around 5 days** - **Intestinal lining cells** (epithelial cells in the gut)
2. **Never (live your entire lifetime)** - **Neurons** (most neurons in the brain)
3. **Around 15 years** - **Bone (in some areas)** (especially long bones, depending on health and activity)
4. **Around 10 years** - **Dental enamel** (not replaced but may undergo some minor changes)
5. **Around 2 weeks** - **Skin cells** (epidermis)
6. **Around 300 to 500 days** - **Red blood cells** (lifetime approximately 120 days; overall turnover)
7. **Around 120 days** - **Platelets** (have a lifespan of about 8-10 days but replaced more frequently)
Note: The exact timeframes can vary based on health, age, and environmental factors.
