Different type of Cells Flashcards
Muscle cells?
Are long and thin structure allows the cell to change size drastically when they contract.
Nerve cells?
are neurons, they are long and threadlike branches that enable cells to receive and transmit signals from the other cells throughout the body
Blood Cells?
Red blood cells are a doughnut with an indent in the centre to provide a large surface to carry oxygen.
Bone cells?
Provide framework of hard material which contains minerals that provide strength, support and hold cells together.
Skin cells?
Are thin, flat, layered cells, form a Gap free barrier to keep out potential invaders and keep in moisture
Cell differentiation?
Process that produces specialized cells, is a series of events through with stem cells develop into specialize cells.
Specialized cells?
Have physical and chemical differences that allow each type to perform one job well, have different structures that allow them to perform unique functions.
not sure if needed on test but
Plant cells have a variety of specialized cells in a leaf of a tree have different structure and function form the cells in the trunk.
stem cells?
Class note
-embryonic stem cells can differentiate into any kind of cell.
-tissue stem cells exist within specialized tissue and are only able to differentiate into certain types of cell.
AND
In leukaemia, stem cells collected by healthy blood can be injected into patient’s blood after disease cells been killed.
My ai
Stem cells are cells that have the ability to develop into many different types of cells. They can renew themselves and divide into more specialized cells. Stem cells are important because they can be used to repair or replace damaged tissues, and they are used in research to better understand how the body develops and how diseases work.
