Amniotic fluid, drawn out of the mother's abdomen in an amniocentesis procedure, can show many aspects of baby's genetic health. This fluid also contains fetal cells, which can be examined for genetic defects and amniotic stem cells.

What is the keratinisation zone?
its where the cells begin to die and where finally they will be shed from the skin. the cells at this stage become progressively flatter, and the cell cytoplasm is replaced with the hard protein keratin
Briefly describe how are amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling are used in genetic screening?
Amniocentesis involves taking a sample of the amniotic fluid and checking the fluid for fetal tissue, metabolites, and other markers that would indicate that there is a problem with fetal development. Fetal genetic testing can be performed on the fetal cells in the amniotic fluid. Chorionic villi sampling essentially involves collecting a specific part of the placenta for genetic analysis. Since the placenta is the same genotype as the fetus it is possible to make a genetic diagnosis of the fetus based on analyzing the placenta. Chorionic villi sampling is less invasive and therefore less likely to cause fetal distress.

Do Lips shed inside mouth?

Do our fingers shed skin cells?

What is the name of the lining of the uterus at shed during the menstrual cycle?
The inner layer of the endometrium is shed as menstrual fluid
Do human cells die?
all cells die. when human skin cells die, for example, they are shed and we call it dust.
Why do caterpillars need to shed their skin when they grow bigger but you humans do not?
Because animals such as caterpillars and snakes do not shed dead skin cells individually, an entire layer peals off at once instead. Whereas us humans shed millions of dead skin cells every day without us realizing it. :)
How do humans shed their skin?
Skin cells simply drop off
How often do humans shed dead skin cells?
Every second.
Do dust mites do some good by ingesting our shed skin cells?
Not really
How do epithelial cells eat?
epithelial cells do not eat. There are layers and layers of them, your skin, and they do nothing but shed off every day.
What happens to the cells destroyed in the cervical cryotherapy procedure?
The cells destroyed by freezing are shed afterwards in a heavy watery discharge.
