What are the two types of stem cells?
1) Adult stem cells 2) Embryonic stem cells.

What is the function of an adult stem cell?
They are used to cure diseases. e.g. some people with a blood disease can have a bone marrow transplant. Bone marrow contains stem cells that have new blood cells that replace the faulty old ones.

What is the function of an Embryonic Stem cell?
They can be extracted from a very early human embryo, these then could be made to differentiate to specific cells to replace faulty cells in sick people.
