Stem Cells
The process where cells develop in different ways to perform particular functions
Cell specialization
What are the 4 types of animal tissue?
Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue
What are the 4 types of plant tissue?
Meristematic, epidermal, ground, and vascular tissue
ALL PLANT TISSUES ARE ____________ TISSUE
MERISTEMATIC
This type of stem cell can undergo differentiation into other cell types
Embryonic stem cell
Lines body cavities and outer surface of body
Epithelial tissue
Photosynthesis
This tissue allows the exchange of materials and gases into and out of the plant
Epidermal tissue
The only human organ that has the ability to naturally regenerate
Liver
What type of tissue is blood and what are the 3 components of blood?
Blood is connective tissue and made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
Responsible for growing new parts of the plant
Meristematic tissue
In the stem, this tissue provides strength and support
Ground tissue
Embryonic stem cells can undergo differentiation into other cell types, whereas adult stem cells have limited ability to create a variety of cell types
Muscle tissue allow for movement. Which types are voluntary and which types of involuntary?
Skeletal muscle is voluntary; smooth and cardiac muscle are involuntary
Responsible for the movement of water and minerals
Xylem
Where are the 3 locations meristematic stem cells are found in?
Found in (1) the growing tips of roots, (2) stems, and (3) a layer in the stem known as the cambium
What are the 3 main functions of nervous tissue?
(1) Store information, (2) Repond to stimuli, and (3) Receive information from inside and outside the body
Transports the sugar produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant
Phloem
