What type of cell does human have?
Types of cells in the human body
| Stem cells | Embryonic stem cells Adult stem cells |
|---|---|
| Red blood cells | Erythrocytes |
| White blood cells | Granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils) Agranulocytes (monocytes, lymphocytes) |
| Platelets | Fragments of megakaryocytes |
| Nerve cells | Neurons Neuroglial cells |
What types of cells have more mitochondria than others?
Tissues and organs that need a lot of energy have large numbers of mitochondria in their cells. For example, liver cells and muscle cells contain a lot of mitochondria. Muscle cells are assiciated with a large number of mitochondria as they require more ATP (energy) to function than other cells.
What is the brain of the cell?
nucleus
Which organ has most mitochondria?
heart muscle cells
Can damaged mitochondria heal?
There is no cure for mitochondrial disease. Certain supplements—thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B12), vitamin C, vitamin E, Lipoic acid, and coenzyme Q10—may help treat certain aspects of the disease.
Can mitochondria repair themselves?
According to recent data, mitochondria possess functional repair mechanisms such as base excision repair, double-strand break repair and mismatch repair, yet nucleotide excision repair has so far not been detected.
Is mitochondrial damage reversible?
These observations suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction-induced phenotypical, histopathological, and molecular changes can be reversed by restoration of mitochondrial function.
How do you check for mitochondrial damage?
They include: biochemical tests on urine, blood and spinal fluid. a muscle biopsy to examine the mitochondria and test enzyme levels. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine….Testing depends on symptoms, and may include:
- echocardiogram.
- electrocardiogram (EKG)
- eye examinations.
- hearing tests.
