    1. The document discusses different types of cell modification including apical, basal, and lateral modification. 2. Apical modification refers to structures found on the apex surface of cells like lobopodia, reticulopodia, filopodia, and axopodia. Basal modification is found on the basal surface and is responsible for producing new skin cells. 3. Lateral modification, also called cell junctions, serves as an intercellular connection between two adjacent cells and is found at the sides of cells.

    MODIFICATION or DIFFERENTIATION) by the cell after cell division
    is a process where the newly- that helps the cell in

    Also called as, “Cell Junctions”. It is


    specialized structure that serves as
    intercellular connection between two
    adjacent cells. It is found at the lateral
    (sides) surface of a cell.

    all body fluid outside the cells of any
    multicellular organism.
    acts as a medium for the essential
    exchange of dissolved gases,
    nutrients, and electrolytes.
    Cytokines ( sai·tuh·kinez) are small proteins
    that are crucial in controlling the growth and
    activity of other immune system cells and
    blood cells.

    CONNEXINS constitute a large family of trans-


    membrane proteins that allow intercellular
    communication and the transfer of ions and
    small signaling molecules between cells.
