The seahorse is a very interesting creature and has captured the attention of most people at least once in their lifetime. While it bears little resemblance to a fish the seahorse is in fact a member of the fish species. Its scientific name is Hippocampus. Seahorses have a head that closely resembles that of a horse thus the name. They also have a pouch for carrying young, like marsupials. It is the male seahorse that becomes pregnant and births the young. There are at least 80 different species of seahorse and they range in both size and color. Seahorses do not have scales as other fish do but instead have bony plates arranged in rings around their bodies. When swimming seahorses swim in an upright position and used their weak dorsal fin to propel them through the water. The seahorse also has pectoral fins behind their eyes that they use to steer. Their tail is prehensile meaning that it can be used to hold and gasp items and they can often be found resting with their tail grasping a piece of coral or seaweed.

Our bodies are made up of billions of cells each with their own specific function and purpose except for a type of cell known as stem cells. Stem cells are cells that have no defined purpose or function. They are able to renew themselves and become a diverse range of different cell types. They are found in nearly all multi-cellular organisms. There are different types of stem cells some that can become any other type of cell and some that can only become 1 or 2 other cell types. Stem cells act as a repair system for the body as they regenerate the cell type that is needed after damage has occurred. Stem cells are able to be manipulated by medical scientists to become specific cells that may be required such as insulin producing cells.
