Summary
Objectives
-
Understanding how individual cells are made up of tissues and organs.
- Being able to observe different properties of tissues,
-
Being able to explain how tissue differentiation originates.
Summary
- All human cells are derived from a cell created by the fusion of an egg and a sperm nucleus in fertilisation.
- Cells formed in the initial stage of a fertilised egg are totipotent stem cells.
- The cells differentiate from similar stem cells into different tissues and organs.
- Tissue cells are similar.
- Stem cell differentiation is a complex process driven by genes.
- Nowadays, stem cells can be cultured and developed into the desired cells.
- Keywords: cell, tissue, organ, body, stem cell, differentiation, nerve tissue, muscle tissue, connective tissue, epithelial or surface tissue.
