The cell is the basic unit of all life. All living things-- tigers‚ trees‚ elephants‚ and men-- are made up of cells. A cell is alive-- as alive as you are. It breathes‚ takes in food‚ and gets rid of waste. It grows and reproduces‚ or creates one of its own kind. (Garrod 36) Most cells reproduce by dividing‚ so that there are two cells where there once was one. (Akkas 78) Every living thing is made up of one or more cells‚ and each of these cells was produced by an already existing cell. New cells

Cell Specialisation All cells are designed to perform a particular job within an organism‚ that is‚ to sustain life. Cells can become specialized to perform a particular function within an organism‚ usually as part of a larger tissue consisting of many of the same cells working together for example muscle cells. The cells combine together for a common purpose. All organisms will contain specialised cells. There are hundreds of types of specialised cells. Below is listed some of the major ones

Cells are some of the smallest organisms around. All living things consist of cells‚ and yet they are invisible to the naked eye. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. Cells are made up of many different parts which allow them to function properly. All cells are separated from their surrounding by a cell membrane. The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also aids in the protection and support of the cell. A cell membrane

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is being promoted as a new therapy for children afflicted with cerebral palsy. It is being utilized by several specialized medical centers in the US‚ Europe and Canada. The rationale behind this therapy is inhalation of pressurized pure oxygen within a hyperbaric chamber‚ results in higher levels of dissolved oxygen within the blood (Liptak‚ 2005). Over 15 studies have been conducted to determine if increased oxygenation repairs the damaged brain cells of children
