CELL THEORY – STEM CELLS Stem cells are a large focus of study in today’s biomedical world. “They are cells that exist in an undifferentiated state‚ and transform into differing tissue types depending on what the cells surrounding them are‚“ (National Institute of Health‚ 2012). Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition‚ they also serve as an internal repair mechanism inside many tissues‚ dividing without

The cell functions much in the way a city does. Although it may be an old analogy‚ it may be one of the best. Following is a list of cell parts and how their function is similar to functions of a city or town. The cell membrane is the city limits of our city. Outside of the city limits‚ the local government has no jurisdiction‚ but inside those limits‚ people are subject to the “laws of the land”. The nucleus – This is the place where direction is given and DNA is sent from. This would

Red blood cell From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia [pic] Human red blood cells (6-8μm) Red blood cells (also referred to as erythrocytes) are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrateorganism’s principal means of delivering oxygen (O2) to the body tissues via the blood flow through thecirculatory system. They take up oxygen in the lungs or gills and release it while squeezing through the body’scapillaries. These cells’ cytoplasm is rich in hemoglobin‚ an iron-containing biomolecule that

Health Effects from Cell Phone Tower Radiation by Karen J. Rogers The safety of cell phone towers is the subject of extensive scientific debate. There is a growing body of scientific evidence that the electromagnetic radiation they emit‚ even at low levels‚ is dangerous to human health. The cell phone industry is expanding quickly‚ with over 100‚000 cell phone towers now up across the U.S.‚ which is expected to increase ten-fold over the next five years. The industry has set what they say are
