Cell differentiation and specialisation

• a specialised cell is one that is adapted to perform a particular function.
• differentiation is the process by which cells become specialised.
• differentiation is important as it allows the production of cells that form tissues and organs.
• Cellular differentiation mostly occurs during the development of the ebmryo and feotus.
• stem cells are cells that have not differentiated yet but could still differentiate into any type of cell.
