Stem cell and cancer question. Please answer Asap!!
malfutka [58]

Metastasis will happen and cancer cells invade nearby healthy cells, tissues, lymph nodes, organs or will migrate to distant organs.

The two different types of stem cells broadly classified as  are Embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are obtained from the blastocyst layer of the embryo and are pleuripotent. Whereas adult stem cells are the undifferentiated cells from tissues of an adult or a child. They can be unipotent or multipotent.

Explanation:

Cancer cells migrate to other parts of the body via blood and lymphatic system. This is called as metastasis. Cancer cells when becomes tumour they develop their own blood vessels and obtain nutrients from them. Once the tumour gets big it pushes the normal healthy cells of the neighbouring tissues and keeps on spreading.

Stem cells obtained from the embryo can differentiate into any types of cell and when grown in-vitro can dramatically form the three germ layers.

The adult embryo cells are found in less quantity, their role is to repair the tissue they reside in.

What organs are being affected from dwarfism???? And how????
Alexandra [31]

Pituitary dwarfism is caused by problems arising from the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland, also called the hypophysis, is a gland at the base of the brain that produces many different hormones. This gland is divided into the anterior (front) and posterior (back) halves. The anterior pituitary produces six hormones: growth hormone, adrenocorticotropin (corticotropin), thyroid stimulating hormone (thyrotropin), prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone, and lutenizing hormone. The posterior pituitary gland only produces two hormones: antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) and oxytocin.

The growth process begins in the lower part of the forebrain in a small organ called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus releases hormones that regulate the production of other hormones. When the hypothalamus releases growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), the anterior pituitary is stimulated to release growth hormone (GH). Growth hormone then acts on the liver and other tissues and stimulates them to secrete insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). IGF-1 directly promotes the development of bone and muscle, causing bones to grow in length, and muscles to increase protein synthesis (make more protein).

Since growth is a complex phenomenon, it may be slowed down or stopped by abnormalities arising at any point in the process. Thus, dwarfism can result if there is a deficiency in any of these hormones, if there is a failure in the receptor cells receiving the hormonal stimuli, or if the target cells are unable to respond.

At its most basic, pituitary dwarfism results from decreased production of hormones by the anterior pituitary. When none of the hormones of the anterior pituitary are adequately produced, this is called panhypopituitarism. A common form of pituitary dwarfism is due to deficiencies in the production of growth hormone (GH). When less GH than normal is produced during childhood, an individual's arms, legs, and other structures continue to develop in normal proportions, but at a decreased rate.
