What is the process through which pluripotent stem cells differentiate into various types of blood cells?
the process to make red blood cells is called erythropoiesis. they are produced in bone marrow and originate from hemotopoietic stem cells. this differentiation is stimulated by hormone erythropoietin. the process takes about 7 days and red blood cells last between 100 and 120 days when they are then recycled by the body. the process of making white blood cells also utilizes hemotopoietic stem cells. there are many different white blood cells such as neutrophils, basophils, monocytes, lymphocytes and eosinophils. they all perform different functions in immunity.
Cells differentiate to form specialized cells with specific functions What regulates this process?
Genes
Do all stem cells mature into erythrocytes?
Nope, they can differentiate into Neutrophils (White Blood Cells)
Stem cells in human bone marrow divide and differentiate to form various what?
blood cells
A blood stem cell can only differentiate into different types of blood cells . What kind of stem cell is this?
Multipotent
A blood stem can differentiate into only different types of blood cells what kind of stem cell is this?
multipotent apex
The process by which all blood cells are formed?
Hematopoiesis or hemopoiesis is the process by which all blood cells are formed.
Blood cells are formed from what?
Blood cells are formed from haematopoietic stem cells by the process of haematopoiesis.
A blood stem cell can differentiate into only different types of blood cells What kind of stem cell is this?
Multipotent
Which of these cells can differentiate into any type of blood-formed element?
Pleuripotent stem cell
When cells differentiate they become more what?
When cells differentiate, they become specialized.
What is an advantage of using pluripotent cells instead of multi potent cells for medical treatments?
Pluripotent cell can differentiate into almost any type of cell.
