CHAPTER 2 Flashcards
What is the blueprint of Protein
DNA
Decoder and Messenger
RNA
Carry sequence in bui
mRNA
Forms the ribosomes
rRNA
Two parts of Protein synthesis
Transcription and Translation
Transfers amino acids
tRNA
What summarizes the Protein Synthesis
Central Dogma
Site of transcription
Nucleus
Describe the central dogma
DNA to RNA to Protein
Site for translation
Ribosomes
It is the process of transcribing genetic instructions from DNA bases into its complementary RNA bases
Transcription
Region where RNA polymerase binds
Promoter sequence/ region
DNA strand that codes
Anti-sense strand
Complementary strand of DNA template strand
Sense strand
DNA goes out the nucleus
FALSE
what is the term for the newly produce mRNA from the nucleus before it is transported
pre-mRNA
What are the modifications done in mRNA
Splicing
editing
5’ capping
polyadenylation
Removal of introns and splicing together of exons by spliceosomes
Splicing
It is the changing in nucleotide bases for example in the human protein that transports lipids to the blood has 2 modifications, a is smaller due to early stop codons
Editing
What are the stop codons
UAA, UAG, UGA
It is the addition of modified methylene cap at 5’ end for protection from degradation and aiding the ribosomes where to attach on the mRNA
5’ capping
It is the addition of a tail of adenine bases at the 3’ end signaling the end of the strand. It also to protect the mRNA from enzymes and for the transport from the nucleus
Polyadenylation
What are the three stages of translation
Initiation, Elongation, and Termination
It is the stage where mRNA binds to the small ribosomal subunits, and the tRNA and the large ribosomal subunits forming the initiation complex
Initiation
It is the stage where tRNA with the anticodons brings amino acids to the growing peptide
Elongation
Site in the ribosome where tRNA brings new amino acid and bonded to the made chain by peptide bond
A site
It is the site where the new peptide chain is moved waiting for a new amino acid
P site
Site where acylated tRNA moves to leave the ribosomal complex
E site
What is the start codon
AUG (Methionine)
It is the phase where stop codon is read signaling for release factors that breaks down the entire initiation complex
Termination
Where does the tRNA goes after the break down of the complex
To the cytoplasmic pool to recharge its new amino acid
It is the programmed cell death to maintain balance in cell number and for
Apoptosis
What are the stages of apoptosis
1)Normal cell
2) Cell shrinks and chromosomes condense
3) Membrane starts to bleb. Organelles starts to collapse
4) Nucleus and organelles starts to fragments as the cytoskeleton collapse. The membrane continues to bleb
5) Apoptotic bodies are produced
6) Apoptotic bodies are phagocytosed by macrophages
7) No inflammation
It is the process done by the body to eliminate cancer causing cells or cells infected by virus
Apoptosis
It is the cell death caused by external factors or injury
Necrosis
What process is done to eliminate the cell tissues between the fingers during early fetal development, and also damaged cells are moved
Apoptosis
It is the study of tissues
Histology
Histology is under what subdivision of Anatomy
Microscopic Anatomy
It is composed of similar cells for a common function
Tissue
What are the types of tissues
Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, and Nervous
covers body surfaces and lines hollow
organs, body cavities, and ducts; it also forms glands. This
tissue allows the body to interact with both its internal and
external environments.
Epithelial Tissue
protects and supports the body and its
organs; bind organs
together, store energy reserves as fat, and help provide the
body with immunity to disease-causing organisms
Connective tissues
composed of cells specialized for
contraction and generation of force; generates heat that warms the body.
Muscular Tissues
detects changes in a variety of conditions
inside and outside the body and responds by generating
electrical signals called nerve action potentials (nerve
impulses) that activate muscular contractions and
glandular secretions.
Nervous Tissues
Avascular tissue
Epithelial tissue
removal of a
sample of living tissue for microscopic examination
Biopsy
Differentiate Epithelial tissue from connective tissue
Cells are tightly packed (no extracellular matrix), avascular, forms the linings
Why are epithelial and connective tissues found adjacent
to each other
So that the connective tissue will able to supply the epithelial tissue with oxygen and nutrients, and eliminates wastes through blood transport
What are the three parts of the epithelial cells
Apical, Lateral and basal surfaces
Type of junction between the basal surface and basement membrane
Hemidesmosomes
What are the functions of epithelial tissues
Protection, secretion, filtration, absorption, diffusion
What are the classifications of the Epithelium
Based on cell shape and no. of layers
Layer of cells functions
in diffusion, osmosis, filtration, secretion, or absorption.
Simple
Cells that do
extend to the apical surface may contain cilia; others
(goblet cells) secrete mucus.
Pseudostratified
protect underlying tissues in
locations where there is considerable wear and tear.
Stratified
single layer of flat cells that resembles a tiled floor when viewed from apical
surface; centrally located nucleus that is flattened and oval or spherical in shape.
Simple squamous epithelium
Endothelium can be found at
blood vessels, heart and lymphatic vessels
Mesothelium is at
Serous membranes of abdominal and thoracic cavity (pericardium, pleura, peritoneal)
kidney tubules and smaller ducts of many glands; surface of ovary; lines anterior surface of capsule of lens of the eye; forms pigmented epithelium at posterior
surface of retina of the eye
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Fingerlike cytoplasmic
projections, increase surface area of plasma membrane thus increasing cell’s rate of absorption.
Microvilli
modified columnar epithelial cells that secrete mucus, a slightly sticky fluid, at their apical surfaces.
Goblet cells
Lines digestive canal (from stomach to anus), ducts of many glands, and gallbladder
Nonciliated simple columnar epithelium
Secretion and absorption; larger columnar cells contain more organelles and thus are capable of higher level of secretion
and absorption than are cuboidal cells. Secreted mucus lubricates linings of digestive, respiratory, and genital tracts, and
most of urinary tract; helps prevent destruction of stomach lining by acidic gastric juice secreted by stomach
Nonciliated simple columnar epithelium
single layer of ciliated
columnlike cells with oval nuclei near base of cells. Goblet cells are
usually interspersed
Ciliated simple columnar epithelium
Lines some bronchioles (small tubes) of respiratory tract, uterine
tubes, uterus, some paranasal sinuses, central canal of spinal
cord, and ventricles of brain
Ciliated simple cuboidal epithelium
