What are embryonic stem cells?

Back

Embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated cells derived from early embryos that can differentiate into any cell type in the body.

Front

What are adult stem cells?

Back

Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells found in various tissues that can differentiate into a limited range of cell types.

Front

What is the main difference between embryonic and adult stem cells?

Back

Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than adult stem cells.

Front

What are the functions of connective tissue?

Back

Connective tissue supports, binds, and protects other tissues and organs in the body.

Front

Front

What is the role of stem cells in development?

Back

Stem cells play a crucial role in the development of an organism by differentiating into various specialized cell types.
