Question
Chapter 8, Problem 10WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The inference that can be drawn about the fading of markings made by permanent marker on skin with respect to cell division and the same about tattoo ink.
Introduction:
Cell division is the process by which new cells are made and the old and damaged cells slough off. Cell division occurs in almost all parts of the body. The outermost layer of the skin is known as epidermis. The next layer is known as dermis, which is made of tough connective tissue.

You have been asked to do a strucutural study to understand how increasing cell surface area affects cell size, cell shape and functions. What cell type would help you most efficiently observe the effects of increasing surface area?
Choices:
A. Monocytes from the blood serum. Monocytes are largely roughly spherical cells.
B. Red Blood cells from the bone marrow. The shape of Red blood cells is a biconcave disk and looks like a donut.
C. Stem cells from skin. In this case assume a skin stem cell is flat and plate like.
D. Microvilli covered cells from the intestines. Microvilli are tiny hair like protrusions in the plasma membrane of intestinal cells that increase the absorption of nutrients in the intestines.
You are a paralyzed patient in need of surgery to help regrow your spinal nerve cells. There are two types of procedures available to you, the use of either adult or embryonic stem cells to regrow your nerve cells. What questions should you ask to identify one difference between adult and embryonic stem cells?
Skin cells from the body do not differentiate when they are simply placed in a tissue
culture medium; that is, they do not organize into the structure of skin, with different
layers and different cell types. What is needed to cause such differentiation to occur?
Indicate the most important requirements on any material used.
