  • Differentiation
    • Erythrocytes
      • FUNCTION: to transport oxygen around the body
      • Formed from stem cells in bone marrow
      • Process of production is ERYTHROP-OIESIS
        • Haemoglobin builds up in cytoplasm and nucleas is ejected
      • Structure
        • Biconcave to increase SA
        • Contains lots of haemoglobin
        • Lack of nucleus for more space
        • Elastic membrane
    • Neutrophils
      • A type of WBC
      • FUNCTION: immune response
      • Structure
        • Flexiable to allow movement
        • Many lysosomes
        • Lobed nucleus
    • Xylem and Phloem
      • Make up plants transport system
      • Xylem is in the inside
      • Phloem is on the outside
      • Divided by cambium (meristem)
    • The process in which a cell becomes more specialised for a particular funciton
