What to Focus On
- Stem cells are unspecialised cells.
- They can self-renew and differentiate.
- They are found in embryonic, fetal, and adult tissues.
- Embryonic stem cells come from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst.
- Fetal stem cells come from fetal tissues and fetal blood.
- Adult stem cells are found in mature tissues, umbilical cord, and placenta after birth.
- Totipotent cells can form a whole organism.
- Pluripotent cells can form nearly all embryonic cell types.
- Multipotent cells act within one lineage.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Stem cells are fully specialised cells that only divide to make more of the same tissue.
Stem cells first came from embryos, so blood cells cannot be linked to the first isolation of stem cells.
Adult stem cells are found only in adult human bodies and not in children or umbilical cord tissues.
