All cells are stem cells or not?
They were at one point, but as they grow they differentiate and can no longer be counted as stem cells.
What are the main cells from which all cells develop?
stem cells
Are pancreatic stem cells a plant cell?
No. Plants do not have a pancreas, so pancreatic stem cells are not plant cells. Only animals have a pancreas, so all pancreatic stem cells are animals cells.
What are The ancestors of all blood cells are called?
The ancestors of all the blood cells are called hematopoietic (blood forming) stem cells.
Do all formed elements arise from a common type of stem cell called hemocytoblast?
Technically yes they are because hemocytoblast stem cells create Myeloid stem cells and Lymphoid stem cells which produce all of the formed elements (white and red blood cells).
What are the characteristic of stem cells?
All stem cells have three general charactersitcs:1. they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods2. they are unspecialized3. they can give rise to specialized cell types.

stem cells
What type of cell gives rise to all blood cells?
Pluripotent haematopoietic stem cells are the precusor/progenitor cells of all blood cells.
Are pancreatic stem cells a plant cell?
No. Plants do not have a pancreas, so pancreatic stem cells are not plant cells. Only animals have a pancreas, so all pancreatic stem cells are animals cells.

Technically yes they are because hemocytoblast stem cells create Myeloid stem cells and Lymphoid stem cells which produce all of the formed elements (white and red blood cells).
All cells are derived from?
Hemocytoblasts, or sometimes also called pluripotent stem cells.
Does your body use stem cells your entire life?
Yes, stem cells are active in our bodies all our lives
What is the most primitive blood cell called?
Vessicles are rather primitive and present all-throughout.
How does stem cell therapy work?
Stem cells are general cells that can change into specialized cells. Stem cell therapy involves using these stem cells to repair damaged organs and tissue. Stem cell therapy is still a controversial issue.
Are all bone marrow stem cells producing abnormal cells when someone has leukemia or just some of them?
Only some bone marrow stem cells produce abnormal cells when a person has leukemia. These abnormal cells are known as cancer stem cells.
