These cells must be able to shorten and lengthen their fibers and the fibers must be flexible enough to stretch. These functions are critical to the proper form during the beating of the heart. Cardiac pacemaker cells carry the impulses that are responsible for the beating of the heart. Pumping blood is one of the most important things that anything in the body can do because without the ability to pump blood everyone would die. because if your heart stops pumping blood, then the blood stops flowing to all of the other organs and you would most likely go into cardiac arrest. ]]> 2020-10-21 12:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/848422380 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853680311 2020-10-22 18:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853680311 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853700172 2020-10-22 18:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853700172 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853772245 Cardiac cells have mitochondria and they help convert oxygen and glucose into energy in the from of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The ATP is a short, smooth muscle that has a nucleus.]]> 2020-10-22 18:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853772245 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853778357 Cardiomyocyte cells in the heart specifically are also really important because they are the cells that make up the hearts themselves (they are the chief cells type of the heart) Because of this they help control the contractions of the heart. Cardiomyocytes are capable of coordinated contraction, controlled through the gap junctions of intercalated discs. The gap junctions spread action potentials to support the synchronized contraction of the myocardium. Controlling the contractions of the heart is very important because it proves that cardiac cells can control things properly which is why they would be a great fit for President. ]]> 2020-10-22 18:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853778357 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853788046 2020-10-22 18:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853788046 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853796907 2020-10-22 18:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853796907 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853811996 Our bodies need oxygen in order to stay alive just like they need the blood that comes from the heart beating with the help fo the cardiac cells. So, that is why the lung cell would be a great Vice President for my campaign. ]]> 2020-10-22 18:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853811996 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853822173 Epithelial cells serve many purposes. For example they serve as a protections barrier, they balance the fluid going into the lungs, they help with mucus and surfactant (a fluid secreted by the cells of the alveoli (the tiny air sacs in the lungs)) production and they self-renew themselves. ]]> 2020-10-22 18:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853822173 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853859133 When Kidney cells are damaged then it not only affects the kidneys and the cells themselves but it affects many other cells in the body making it a dangerous cells to have a disease in. ]]> 2020-10-22 18:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853859133 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853863519 Healthy kidneys produce a hormone called EPO. EPO prompts the bone marrow to make red blood cells, which then carry oxygen throughout the body. When the kidneys are diseased or damaged, they do not make enough EPO. As a result, the bone marrow makes fewer red blood cells, causing anemia (lack of blood). ]]> 2020-10-22 18:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/853863519 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/854439043 Pancreatic cells help you produce insulin but, as proven by people with diabetes, having a pancreas/ its cells produce insulin is not needed because there are other ways to live without it. ]]> 2020-10-22 22:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/854439043 24ad01512 https://padlet.com/24ad01512/as7gg7fn0jzattc5/wish/854439414 It is possible to live without a pancreas, in fact some people get them removed because of problems that they may have with them. Pancreatic cells also, do not regenerate as well as certain other cells in the body. Therefore, the pancreatic cells are not nearly as important as cardiac cells.
