Stem Cell

QuestionAnswer
Define Cells microscopic structures that carry on all the functions of life
Cells very in ____ and _____ and perform _____ functions. shape; size; many different
Sex cells (gametes) divide by a process of meiosis
An insufficient amount of tissue fluid results in dehydration
Organs and other body parts joined together to perform a particular function is called organ system
Embryonic stem cells have the ability to transform themselves into any of the body's specialized cells and perform many different functions
The study of the processes of living organisms, or why and how they work, is physiology
The part of a cell that condenses to form chromosomes during cell reproduction is the chromatin
A stack of membrane layers that produces, stores, and packages secretions for discharge from the cell is the golgi apparatus
The site for all chemical reactions that take place in the cell is the cytoplasm
Pocketlike folds in the cell membrane that allow large molecules to enter the cell are pinocytic vesicles
The area where ribosomes are manufactured in the cell is the nucleolus
The structures that contain digestive enzymes to digest and destroy old cells are the lysosomes
Pouch-like structures that are found throughout the cytoplasm and filled with a watery substance, stored food, or waste products are the vacuoles
The four main groups of tissues are epithelial, muscular, connective, nervous
The tissue that produces power and movement in the body is muscle tissue
The tissue that lines the intestinal and respiratory tracts and forms body glands is epithelial tissue
Basic unit of structure and function in all living things cells

Study of form and structure of an organism anatomy
Controls many cell activities nucelus
Furnaces or powerhouses of the cell mitochondria
Semi-fluid inside the cell cytoplasm
Located inside the nucleus and important in cell reproduction chromatin
Tissues joined together for a particular function organ
Cells of the same type joined together for a common purpose tissue
Study of how disease occurs pathophysiology
What are Induced pluripotent cells? Induced pluripotent cells are adult cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to an embryonic stem cell-like state by being forced to express genes and factors important for maintaining the defining properties of embryonic stem cells.
What are Undifferentiated cells? A cell that has not yet developed into a specialized cell.
Why is the use of stem cells to produce new specialized cells, which can replace a body’s damaged cells and cure a disease, creating such a controversy? Its creating controversy because a 4-5 day old embryo is still capable of creating a new life but they're using it to produce new specialized cells. Right to life advocates are strongly opposed to stem cell research if they're obtained from embryos.
