Introduction
There has been many advances in technology, which has given humans the resources necessary to discover a lot of things about this world we live in. so here on Web Quest I will be talking about one of those discoveries, cells.
Task
1. What do researchers think is one cause of memory impairment related to growing older? What does new research show that may be able to help reverse this process?
2. How might fat cells be able to help people with spinal cord injuries?
3. How are frog eggs being used in research involving human cells?
4. What are Schwann cells? How are they affected in multiple sclerosis patients?
5. What role do cells play in preventing the stomach from digesting itself?
Process
1. Memory impairment is just a fancy way of saying memory loss, which is straightforward, the loss of your memory. The reason why elderly people get memory impairment is because older people often experience decreased blood flow to their brain. Which can stunt their memory. Some people do experience memory loss earlier on but most likely that is just a sign of growth.
2. Studies show that the ability to get stem cells from a person's fat, which will eventually help with spinal cord injuries.
3.Frog cells are being used in research regarding human cells. They are using substances to reprogram the frog cells into adult cells. This creates a large supply of adult cells that have the expertise to self replicate and make specialized cells called stem cells.
4. Schwann cells are a type of non neuron cell that helps and protects the neuron cells in the peripheral nervous system by forming myelin sheaths, which is a fatty layer that insulates nerve axons.
5.Your stomach is lined with epithelial cells, therefore producing mucus That is There for your stomach when it doesn’t digest itself.
Summary
The reason why older people get memory impairment is because they often experience decreased blood flow to their brain. Which can end up stunting their memory.
They are using substances to reprogram the frog cells into adult cells. This creates a large supply of adult cells that have the skill to self replicate and make specialized cells.
Schwann cells are a type of non neuron cell that helps and protects the neuron cells in the peripheral nervous system by forming myelin sheaths.
Epithelial cells are lined with your stomach, which produce mucus.

| Web Summary | The web summery was not prepared well and sloppy. | The web summery was mildly organized and key info was presented but evidence was not. | Organization could have been better, info was presented. | Info was near perfectly stated, Info was also very clear and precise. |
Conclusion
After completing this web quest, I know understand recent Information regarding cells, and I have also found answers to questions about the work of cells in the human body. In the way of answering questions, researching gave further insight about current and ongoing scientific study about cells.
