Heart cells.
Explanation: Terminal differentiation means a cell has reached its final specialized form and largely exits the cell cycle (no further division). Cardiac muscle cells (heart cells) are classically terminally differentiated and have very limited regenerative capacity. Stem cells are undifferentiated, epithelial cells typically turnover and divide, and while inner-ear hair cells are also terminally differentiated in mammals, the common textbook example is heart (cardiac muscle) cells.
