|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The process of transformation into a different cell type | Differentiation
🗑
|
||||
| When the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted, so that it will differentiate inot a specific manner | Commitment
🗑
|
||||
| The first phase of commitment, when the fate is still reversible | Specification
🗑
|
||||
| The final phase of commitment, when commitment become irreversible | Determination
🗑
|
||||
| Intracellular signals controlling cellular differentiation | Autonomous specification
🗑
|
||||
| signals between cells controlling cellular differentiation | Intercellular induction
🗑
|
||||
| None nutrient chemicals secreted by one cell to induce a response in another cell | Hormones
🗑
|
||||
| Hormones that control cell cycle progression, cellular differentiation or morphogenesis during development | Growth factors
🗑
|
||||
| Specialized cells with limited or no ability to transforminto other cell types | Differentiated cell types
🗑
|
||||
| Cells that have not transformed into a specialized cell type | Undifferentiated cell types
🗑
|
||||
| Cells with distinctive morphological characteristics and/or molecular processes | Specialized cell types
🗑
|
||||
| To have the potential to differentiate into any cell type and produce an entire organism | Totipotency
🗑
|
||||
| To have the potential to differentiate into multiple cell types | Pluripotency, Multipotency
🗑
|
||||
| Cells that either divide into more cells to propagate their own population, or differentiate inot other cell types | Stem cells
🗑
|
||||
| Cells that must differntiate inot other cell types and so cannot propage their won population | Progenitor or Precursor cells
🗑
|
||||
| Embryonic cleavage stage, morula and early bastocyst cells | Blastomeres
🗑
|
||||
| Stem ceells from any embryonic stage. Are usually named after the cell types they produce | Blast cells
🗑
|
||||
| Loosely organized blast cells. These are produced by the ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm | Mesenchyme
🗑
|
||||
| Transformation of one differentiated cell type to another. | Metaplasia
🗑
|
||||
| To reverse the process of differentiation. For a specialized cell to transform into less psecialized cell type | Dedifferentiation
🗑
|
||||
| Dedifferntiation to an embryonic cell type | Anaplasia
🗑
|
||||
| Abnormal, new growth. | Neoplasia
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
