3.Question:

Why do adults have stem cells?

Answer :

Adults have stem cells because they are needed to repair certain tissues in the body such as in the muscles, bone marrow, skin, teeth, heart, and liver, to name a few. Thus, they can develop into many different cell types and function to replace older and damaged tissues.

4.Question:

What type of muscle is found in internal organs?

Answer:

Smooth muscle, a type of involuntary muscle, is found in internal organs. It is called smooth muscle because it does not have striations the way cardiac muscle does. Your smooth muscle can contract and relax without you having to consciously think about it. This allows you to go about your day while your stomach and digestive tract digest food and your blood vessels get wider or narrower as you need them too. Smooth muscle is a vital component of your body and helps your organs perform their various functions.

5.Question:

Where do lymphocytes originate?

Answer :

Lymphocytes are formed in the marrow of your bones or the thymus gland during a process known as lymphopoiesis. They originate with progenitor cells, usual descendants of stem cells, which have the ability to form other cells but only on a limited basis. Once formed, lymphocytes don’t remain in the bone marrow or thymus gland. Instead, they use lymph vessels to travel to the spleen, lymph nodes and thymus as they do their work.

6.Question:

Which region of the kidney is the most superficial?

Answer :

The superficial region of the kidney is known as the renal cortex. When looking at a kidney organ, the renal cortex is a layer of tissue that contains tiny blood vessels, blood filters called nephrons, and collecting ducts that lead to the center region of the kidney.

7.Question:

  • Two Parietal Bones
  • Two Temporal Bones

10.Question:

What is a tailbone?

The tailbone is the common name for the coccyx. In many animals, a series of genuine tail bones emanate from the coccyx; however, in humans, the coccyx marks the termination of the spinal column. In other words, for people, the tailbone is located at the bottom of the spine.

11.Question:

What facial bone forms the chin?

12.Question:

Is it possible to alter fingerprints?

Answer :

It is possible to alter fingerprints, but it is difficult to do. Scars from accidents, burns, or chemicals can remove or blot out sections of a fingerprint.
