    What is the fastest growing tissue in the human body?

    Question #10396. Asked by Carol. (Feb 13 01 4:41 AM)

    		Bone marrow.

    Although human hair is the second fastest growing tissue in the body after bone marrow, it only grows about 1cm a month.

    Next to bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the human body.
