Cell potency is heirarchical. The zygote is totipotent: able to develop into absolutely any cell in the organism including "extraembryonic tissue" (placental and umbilical cord tissues). Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent: able to develop into absolutely any cell in the organism. As the embryo begins to develop, progenitor cells arise that are multipotent: able to develop into many related types of cell types. Sometimes "adult stem cells" are considered multipotent stem cells.

Multipotent cells and multipotent stem cells are one and the same. The only difference is the shortened name.

no, they are multipotent cells, meaning they can develop into many differentiated cells.

What are the types of stem cells?

There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.


What are the three main types of stem cells?

The three types of stem cells are Totipotent, Pluripotent and Multipotent. Edit By Camden Stevens: there are actually four- Totipotent, Pluripotent, Multipotent, and Unipotent stem cells. Toti, Pluri, and Multipotent are all embryotic stem cells, which means they occur in the embryo before the child is actually born, then pluripotent and multipotent last until adulthood. Then unipotent stem cells occur through adulthood to the rest of the life.

What type of stem cells saves lives?

There are mainly two types of Stem Cells, namely Embryonic Stem Cells and Adult Stem cells. A stem cell, for it's therapuetic values, should be bale to be expanded in any of the tissues of the body. To say in short they should be Totipotent or at least Plueripotent. The Embroynic stem cells are considered as totipotent by some writer (because they give rise to all the tissues of body) but plueripotent by some writer (because they could not give rise to Trophoblast Layer). These embryonic stem are usually used as an ideal stem cells and are expanded in culture for implications in medical use.
