Differentiation
Cells become more specialized with each misting division
3 groups of cell proliferation
1 well differentiated neurons and cells of skeletal and cardiac muscles
2 parent cells (progenitor cells) continue to divide
3 undifferentiated stems cells can enter cell cycle and produce large number of progenitor cells
Progenitor cells
Parent cells of the same lineage that have not differentiated
Enough differentiation for daughter cells to in same cell line
Benefits of stem cell
Remain dormant until needed
Can dude and produce other stem cells
Self renewal- stem still can undergo numerous militia divisions
Potency- differentiated potential of stem cells
Polyp
Growth that projects from mucosal surface
Metastasis
Cancer cell will break loose from primary tumor
Invade surrounding EXTRACELLULAR matrix
Gain access to blood vessel
Survive its passage in blood stream and emerge at a favorable location
Invade the tissue and begin to grow
Establish own blood supply
two broad categories of malignant neoplasms
