Types of Stem Cells Flashcards
1
Q
What are the three types of stem cells?
A
- totipotent cells
- pluripotent
- multipotent
2
Q
How is totipotent cell made?
A
Totipotent are stem cells that come from zygotic stem cell (morula)
3
Q
How is pluripotent cell made?
A
Pluripotent are stem cells that come from embryonic stem cell (blastocyst)
4
Q
How is multipotent cell made?
A
Multipotent are stem cells that come from adult stem cell (organs)
5
Q

A
hematopoietic
6
Q
ESC derives from?
A
- blastocysts
- outer layer= trophoblast
- inner cell mass

A
Dydx into any cell type, forming whole organism
8
Q
ESC can?
A
Dydx into almost any cell type to form any organ or type of cell
9
Q
multipotent can?
A
Dydx into a limited range of cell type
