Cells specialize to form specific tissue and organs by stem cells being able to develop into every type of cell in the body and eventually recreate a person’s tissues. With organs, after you gather the cells which can be from the patient’s own organs you have to go towards how they grow and specialise.

    “The glue is not one thing; it is a variety of different molecules that connect and lie between our cells” (123). This glue and molecular structure gives each cell and tissue their distinct functions. What makes many different body parts different is how the materials like cells and tissues are arranged and attached to each other, like the eye and leg. This indicates that every tissue alignment is different in it’s own way and can be identified with it’s organism. The author had his students try to identify each tissue under a slide and it is possible, but very…

    The article and the book both have some close similarities and some differences between one another. A similarity is the fact that the in the book not only did the Lacks family not get paid, but also John Moore lost a court case and never got paid either. Moore’s doctor was using the cells in a similar manner as Henrietta’s and Troug’s patient cells were used. In all three of these cases not a single patient was compensated for donating their cells. The difference between the article and the book is how in the book both Henrietta’s cells and Moore’s cells were being used secretly to conduct the research.…

    Glial Cell Essay

    • 4 Pages

    Glial Cells are supporting cells in the nervous system (central nervous system [CNS] and peripheral nervous system [PNS]) which aid in the efficiency of neural operations in the nervous system, (Carlson, 2013). Carlson (2013, p.36) indicates the general functions of the glial cells as: keeping neurons in place; supplying neurons with nutrients and the chemicals needed to communicate with each other; protecting neurons from each other to promote coherent messages; and “destroying and removing the carcasses of neurons that are killed by disease or injury.” These functions are carried out by three types of Glial cells in the central nervous system (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglial cells); together with Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, (House & Palmer, 1996). Hence, Glial cells do not directly partake in the electrical signaling in the…
