Cells (Sienna Keough & Jose Mosquito)

Introduction

In this Webquest, you will learn about the human body, cells, digestive system, memory loss, and frog eggs helping in research.

Task

Your task for this Webquest is to understand how the body can work, including the brain, the spine, Schwann cells, and even how frog eggs can help in the research of the body.

Process

Good examples of helping you complete this website can be found on the credits page and on many articles. Such as 'Cause of memory loss in older people, 'Fat cells may restore spinal cord damage', 'Frog eggs help researchers', 'Schwann cell', and 'The stomach digests pretty well.

Evaluation

Some researchers think that older people tend to have memory loss because older people experience decreased blood flow to the brain. A researcher named Zelinski said that maintaining a healthy diet contains fruits, vegetables, nuts, seafood, and seeds. Fat cells help people with spinal cord injuries by having the ability to obtain stem cells from a person's fat. Frog eggs are being used in research involving human cells by the frog cells recapitulating the repair of the lesion in a test tube. The proteins are also found in human cells. Schwann cells are a cell in the peripheral system. They protect the degeneration of nerves by blocking thrombin, a blood-clotting protein that can also damage nerves. Cells make and release hormones that control how your digestive system works.

Conclusion

A summary of everything we have learned. People who are older tend to have memory loss. And a reason for that is because blood flows to the brain but there are ways to fix it such as a healthy diet. Fat cells also can help people with spinal cord injuries. Frog eggs are actually used during research. Schwann cells protect the degeneration of nerves by blocking thrombin that can damage nerves. Cells also make and release hormones.
