PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell enters what is called the G0 phase. The cell spends all of its life in one of three stages: interphase, mitosis, and G0. Interphase is a set of steps a cell goes through in preparation for mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -G0 (quiescent phase) G0 or quiescent phase is the stage wherein cells remain metabolically active but do not proliferate unless called to do so. Such cells are used for replacing the cells lost during injury.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells that divide only rarely are thought to enter a stage that some scientists call G0. In G0, cells are unlikely to divide, although they continue to carry out their normal functions. Some cells, such as neurons, appear to stay perma nently in the G0 stage.

Detailed explanation-4: -While some cells are constantly dividing, others are quiescent. These cells exit G1 and enter a resting state called G0. In G0, a cell is performing its function without actively preparing to divide. G0 is a permanent state for some cells, while others may re-start division if they get the right signals.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thus it was thought of as a resting phase. G0 is now known to take different forms and occur for multiple reasons. For example, most adult neuronal cells, among the most metabolically active cells in the body, are fully differentiated and reside in a terminal G0 phase.
