Cell's Potency Flashcards
Types of cells potency
Pluripotent, Oligopotent, Totipotent, Unipotent, Multipotent
3 cell types
Stem, progenitor, precursor cell [SPP]
Types of stem cells
[EAFA] Embryonic, Adult, Fetal, Amniotic stem cells
Differentiates to all types of cells
Totipotent
Differentiates in any 3 germ layers, and most of the cells except placental tissues
Pluripotent
Differentiates into a range of cells within the tissue
Multipotent
Differentiates only into 1 cell type
Unipotent (___blast–>___cytes)
Lymphoid/myeloid stem cells develop into…
B and T cells
Develop into few cell types
Oligopotent progenitor cells
Vascular stem cells develop into…
Endothelial and smooth muscle cells
Type of cell that divides only a limites num of times, found in most adults and acts as a repair system
Progenitor
What triggers progenitor cells to start differentiating into target cells
Growth factors or cytokines
Type of cell in the “center” between stem cells and fullt differentiated cells
Progenitor
Type of cell aka blast cell/blast, a partially differentiated cell
Precursor
Alternative term for unipotent stem cells
Precursor cells
