Stem Cells
The place where doctors get stem cells from
Where is bone marrow,
The 2 types of blood cells
What are red and white blood cells.
The way that cells communicate with one another.
What is using chemical signals. These chemicals usually consist of mainly proteins, and is Mainly produced my sending cells, who release these chemicals to float until they reach neighboring cells, kind of like a note in a bottle?
The place where most bacteria is stored
What is located in the gut. There's billions of bacteria in the gut alone.
The amount of time it would take to count all cells.
What is thousands of years?
The things stem cell therapy is used for
What regererates, repairs, restores, replaces damaged organs, used to test new drugs treats spinal cord injuries, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, stroke, burns, cancer and osteoarthritis.
The function of a red blood cell
What is to carry oxygen from lungs to rest of the body
Signaling between neighbouring cells.
What is Paracrine signaling?
Common bacteria in the human body.
What is Escherichia coli. Cocci, Bacilli, and Spirilla are also a pretty common species of bacteria?
The two main types of cells
What are plant and animal cells?
The process that is how stem cells are gathered
What is collected through a needle placed in the soft center — or marrow — of the bone. Also, Blood is taken from a vein and circulated through a machine that removes the stem cells and returns the remaining blood and plasma back to the patient.
The function of a white blood cell
What is to help fight infections
The 4 different types of cell signaling
What is paracrine signaling, autocrine signaling, endocrine signaling, and signaling by direct contact.
The amount of species of human bacteria/
What is about 1000 species of human bacteria?
What humans have to rely on.
What is animals and nutrients?
What is hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), skin stem cells (SSCs), neural stem cells (NSCs), and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
Facts about blood plasma
What is the liquid component of blood, I the place where blood cells are absent, Contains proteins and constituents, Makes up 55% of blood volume, and is 92% water
A unique example of paracrine signaling.
What is synaptic signaling, in which nerve cells transmit signals. This process is named for the synapse, the junction between two nerve cells where signal transmission occurs?
What is between 74 trillion and 200 trillion microorganisms!
A fun fact about stem cells
What is that adult stem cells can only change into some cells, not all types
Something has a lifespan of 120 days, and old cells are broken down in the spleen, and new ones get produced in bone marrow
What is a red blood cell
autocrine signaling
What is when a cell signals to itself, releasing a ligand that binds to receptors on its own surface
a fact adding on the the amount of species of bacteria.
What is that in a normal human body there's about 500 - 1000 different species of bacteria?
