During sleep, the body works to repair and rejuvenate cells, tissues, and organs. This leads to better mental and physical performance the following day. 2. Improves Memory:   Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation. During sleep, the brain processes and consolidates information from the day, making it easier to retrieve and retain information later on. 3.

STEM CELLS About- : Undifferentiated cells  Unique ability to grow into any type of cell in the body.   A critical role in the development, growth, and repair of various tissues and organs in the body.  Present in the developing embryo and are essential for creating and repairing all tissues and organs in the body. Production-: Stem cells are also found in various adult tissues, such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, and the umbilical cord. Clasification- :  Embryonic stem cells and Adult stem cells.  Embryonic stem cells  -: These cells are  derived from early stage embryos that are created during in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures typically ones that are leftover after these procedures.   These embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. This means that they can turn into more than one type of cell.   Adult stem cells-: These cells are located in various tissues in the body and can only differentiate into specific types of cells.   For ex...
