  1. Cells maintain balance by regulating growth through controlled cell division, contact inhibition and programmed cell death (PCD). Contact inhibition stops cells from dividing when they touch others. PCD removes unnecessary or damaged cells. Together, these processes ensure proper growth, prevent overcrowding and maintain healthy functioning of tissues and organs.
