Research on Cells

Introduction

Cells are the fundamentals of life, yet most of their uses go unappreciated, so lets educate some people! The topics we will touch upon today are memory impairment, fat cells fixing spinal issues, frogs cells restoring human cells, shwann cells, and the stomach not digesting itself. Let's begin.

Task

By the end of this webquest, when you have read all the websites linked, you should be able to answer these short five questions:

1. What are some signs of memory loss?

2. What do frog cells restore?

3. Who's fat cells are used to fix spinal issues?

4. What do schwann cells protect?

5. What is the mucus around the stomach made up of?

Process

The topics being explained in these linked websites are:

1. Memory Impairment :

(This website is not exactly what I had in mind or wrote down, it was just the closet thing I could find to what I was thinking.)

2. Fat cells helping fix spinal issues:

3. Frog eggs being used to damaged human cells:

4. Shwann cells protecting thrombin:

5. The stomach refusing to digest itself :

Evaluation

The cells in our body can not only be used to heal other cells, but to actually replace them too! There have been cases of which frog eggs cells replaced shwann cells or even brain cells. 

Conclusion

Thanks to this webquest, you now know about these four topics of cells and what they do. Fat cells fixing spinal issues, shwann cells protecting thrombin (important protein), memory impairment medicine being able to slow down the process memory loss, frog cells being able to restore broken human cells, epithial cells creating a mucus to prevent the stomach from digesting itself. These were all the things you learned.
