Do epithelial cells reproduce fast?
Skin cells reproduce faster than other types of cells
Where are stem cells that replace old blood cells in adults?
In the bones.
When there is less oxyhemoglobin in the blood red blood cells produce 23-DPG This metabolic product?
enhances oxygen unloading at the systemic capillaries
Where are the stem cells that replace old blood cells located in adults?
In the bones.
What is Iron has an important metabolic function in?
Blood. Your red blood cells are quite iron-rich; you could almost say that the color of blood is because it's rusty.
What does blood tissue do?
The blood tissue in humans and other animals is responsible for delivering nutrients and oxygen to cells. It also transports metabolic waste away from certain cells.
Where are new red blood cells reproduced?
In Bone Marrow, where they replace ones that die in the blood. Dead red blood cells sink to the bottom of the blood vessel where they are "cleaned" (eaten) by special cells.
Do elderly people have older blood?
No, you see, the body will renew its blood cells as the blood cells get older or used up. That is why people can donate their blood to the Red Cross. The body makes new blood cells to replace them.
Why do red blood cells regenerate every 4 months?
what happens when red blood cell dies after about three months
What are the locations in the body where cell populations undergo rapid mitosis?
Cells undergo rapid mitosis in the body in areas that feature a high turnover. Epithelial and endothelial cells constantly replicate to renew skin and vascular lining. Also, hematopoietic progenitor cells constantly replace blood cells in circulation.
Which parts of the body can a person easily replace with cells?
Currently, the parts of the body that can be replaced with cells include skin, blood, and bone marrow. Skin grafts can be used to replace damaged skin, blood transfusions can replace blood cells, and bone marrow transplants can be performed to replace damaged or diseased bone marrow. However, the ability to completely replace complex organs or tissues like the heart or liver with cells is still a developing field of research.
Where are the stem cells that replace old blood cells located?
In bone marrow
