Cellular differentiation is a concept from developmental biology describing the process by which cells acquire a "type". The morphology of a cell may change dramatically during differentiation, but the genetic material remains the same, with few exceptions.

A blastomere is a type of cell produced by division of the egg after fertilization.

Human blastomere

In humans, blastomere formation begins immediately following fertilization and continues through the first week of embryonic development.

ovum (plural ova) is a haploid female reproductive cell or gamete. The word is derived from Latin, meaning egg or egg cell. Both animals and embryophytes have ova. The term ovule

Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of an early stage embryo known as a blastocyst. Human embryos reach the blastocyst stage 4-5 days post fertilization, at which time they consist of 50-150 cells.

ES cells are pluripotent.

A fibroblast is a type of cell that synthesizes and maintains the extracellular matrix of many animal tissues. Fibroblasts provide a structural framework (stroma) for many tissues, and play a critical role in wound healing.

Hepatocytes make up 70-80% of the cytoplasmic mass of the liver. These cells are involved in protein synthesis, protein storage and transformation of carbohydrates, synthesis of cholesterol, bile salts and phospholipids, and detoxification, modification and excretion of exogenous

A myoblast is a type of stem cell that exists in muscles. Skeletal muscle cells are called muscle fibers and are made when myoblasts fuse together; muscle fibers therefore have multiple nuclei.

Myoblasts that do not form muscle fibers differentiate into satellite cells.

Neurons (also known as neurones and nerve cells) are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that process and transmit information. In vertebrate animals, neurons are the core components of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

An oocyte, ovocyte, or rarely oöcyte, is a female gametocyte or germ cell involved in reproduction. In other words, it is an immature ovum. An Oocyte is part the Ovary development, Different names for different stages.

An osteoblast (from the Greek words for "bone" and "germ" or embryonic) is a mononucleate cell that is responsible for bone formation. Osteoblasts produce osteoid, which is composed mainly of Type I collagen.

An osteoclast (from the Greek words for "bone" and "broken") is a type of bone cell that removes bone tissue by removing the bone's mineralized matrix. This process is known as bone resorption.

T cells belong to a group of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and play a central role in cell-mediated immunity. They can be distinguished from other lymphocyte types, such as B cells and NK cells by the presence of a special receptor on their cell surface that is called the

Aleurone (from Greek aleuron, flour) is a protein found in protein granules of maturing seeds and tubers. The term is also used for the outermost cell layer of the seed coat, the aleurone layer.

The types of ground tissue found in plants develops from ground tissue meristem and consists of three simple tissues:

• Parenchyma (have retained their protoplasm)
• Collenchyma (have retained their protoplasm)

Endodermis is the bottom layer of skin.

In plants, it is a thin layer of parenchyma found in roots, just outside the vascular cylinder. It regulates the flow of water.

Endosperm is the albumen tissue produced in the seeds of most flowering plants around the time of fertilization. It surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch, though it can also contain oils and protein.

The epidermis (pluralized either epidermises or sometimes epidermes) is the outer single-layered group of cells covering a plant, especially the leaf and young tissues of a vascular plant including stems and roots.

A meristem is a tissue in all plants consisting of undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells) and found in zones of the plant where growth can take place.

Differentiated plant cells generally cannot divide or produce cells of a different type.

Palisade cells are a type of leaf tissues and can be found within the mesophyll in leaves of dicotyledonous plants. They contain chloroplasts, which convert the energy stored in photons to chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Parenchyma is a term used to describe a bulk of a substance. It is used in different ways in animals and in plants.

The term is New Latin, from Greek parenkhuma, visceral flesh, from parenkhein, to pour in beside : para-, beside + en-, in + khein, to pour.

Tracheids are elongated cells in the xylem of vascular plants, serving in the transport of water. The build of tracheids will vary according to where they occur.

Tracheids are one of two types of tracheary elements, vessel elements being the other.
