TED talk: Cell v.s. Silk

Silk and cells can both be categorized as versatile objects. With each, there are many different jobs they can do. Cells make up everything in your body, while silk is used for clothing, films, dvr, or even to make things have a 3-D appearance. However, like cells there are are many diffrent types of silk, but all silk is simply made up of water and protein. Silks can literally be used for almost anything given there ability to adapt and change.Silk is biodegradable and biocompatable meaning it either regenerates itself or adapts or breaks down. Cells however are categorized by size, shape, and function. Each cell has their own function that they do, they also each have a specific form. With that the body is able to function and maintain its equillibrium. This video ties in with our cell differentiation and themes of anatomy and physiology because it shows how a simple silk thread can become much more by simply changing its complextion. By changing the complextion we change the form and function of the silk thread. Form, function and change are the definitions of anantomy and physiology. This ties into cell differentiation because the silk a once less specialized cell develops into a distinct form and function.
