This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Chapter 2-2, Specialized cell types e.g. Connective tissue cells, Endothelial cells give rise to cancer called Angiosarcoma, Carcinomas are responsible for 80% of cancer-related Deaths in US, Ectoderm e.g. Skin cells, Connective tissue cells are derived from Mesoderm, Malignant are called Cancers, Basal lamina serves as a scaffold for Endothelial cells, Connective tissue cells include Mesenchymal cells, Neuroectodermal tumors e.g. Schwannomas, Basal lamina serves as a scaffold for Epithelial cells, Hematopoietic cells are derived from Mesoderm, Cells in nervous system are derived from Ectoderm, Epithelial cells have a characteristic Layered architecture, Specialized cell types e.g. Cells in nervous system, Carcinomas derived from cells forming protective layers are called Squamous cell carcinomas, Hematopoietic cells ex Plasma cells, Carcinomas derived from secretory cells are called Adenocarcinomas, Extracellular matrix e.g. Basement membrane, Epithelial cells are derived from primitive cell layers called Endoderm, Basement membrane aka Basal lamina
