Question | Answer |
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 |
