1. The body of the leeches are bilaterally symmetrical like other Annelids. The body organs are also segmented.

2. They have a closed circulatory system in which the heart pumps the blood to all the parts of the body.

What is a major problem with using foreign cells grown in culture for transplantation in humans?
soldi70 [24.7K]

The major problem with using foreign cells grown in culture for transplantation in humans is the host immune system would destroy such cells.

The body of your child is shielded from external invaders by the immune system. These include poisons, bacteria, viruses, fungus, and other types of germs (chemicals made by microbes). The various organs, cells, and proteins that make up the immune system cooperate with one another. Infections like measles, mono (mononucleosis), and the flu virus can also temporarily impair immunity. Additionally, unhealthy eating habits, alcoholism, and smoking might impair your immune system.

Antigens, which are proteins on the surface of the invading cells, are used by the immune system to identify invaders. Every substance or cell has a unique set of antigens, and every person's cells include "self-antigens" that are particular to that person.
