Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent cells that are derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst before implantation. These cells have potential of treating a wide range of diseases and conditions, which is attributed to the fact that they have; self renewal property meaning that they can ploriferate indefinitely, the cells also have the special ability to differentiate into cells with specialized characteristics and functions. In addition the cells are unspecialized and therefore they can give rise to specialized cells.

<span>The importance of embryonic stem cells lies in their versatility. These cells start off as a "blank slate" and thus can be modified and grown to turn into nearly any type of cell in the body. This means that, beginning with stem cells, one can regenerate whatever specific type of cell is needed to fight a certain disease or replace a damaged organ.</span>

From there it moves to the stomach through the oesophagus. In the stomach, the content is further mixed with enzymes and the churning breaks down food further.From the stomach food moves to the small intestine. In the small intestine, digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver acts on food. The small intestine is where digested food is absorbed.it has a large surface area and finger-like projection called villi to carry out the function of absorbing nutrients.

From there, undigested food us passed to the large intestine from where it is passed out through the anus
