Q

centrosome

A

organelle located near the nucleus in the cytoplasm that divides and migrates to opposite sides of the cell during mitosis. microtubules grow out called the mitotic spindle fibers

21
Q

silent mutatons

A

no change in dna sequencing

22
Q

missence mutation

A

changes the dna sequence. can multiply over time causing a issue

23
Q

uncontrolled cell division

A

cancer. happens when mitotic checkpoints arent followed

24
Q

benign tumor

A

not cancerous, often can be removed and dont comeback

25
Q

malignant tumor

A

invade nearby tissues, and can metastisize

26
Q

metastasis

A

blood or lymph. regional (near original tumor) distant (far from original tumor). liver, lungs, bones, lymph nodes. need systemic therapy

27
Q

gene mutations

A

born with. increases chance of cancer

acquired. lifestyle habits. old, smoking, virus, radiation, ecct. inflammation, lack of excercise. obesity

28
Q

cancer test

A

oral surgeon, or ear/nose/throat surgeon. MRI, CT, PET

29
Q

TNM-T

A

t0/in situ
t1=1-2 cm
t2=2-4
t3=4+
t4a=moderate advanced local disease. not spread into nearby tissue. resectable
t4b= advanced local disease. spread into nearby tissue. non resectable

30
Q

TNM-N

A
n1= ipsilateral lymph node less than 3 cm
n2a=ipsilateral node 3-6 cm
n2b=2 ipsilateral nodes less than 6 cm
n2c= contralateral node
n3= greater than 6 cm
31
Q

TNM-M

A

m0=no metastisis

m1=metastasis

32
Q

meiosis

A

take a 2n cell and get 4 1n haploids

33
Q

meoisis 1

A
Prophase= produces genetic diversity through random arrangement and crossing over (chiasma). 
Metaphase= line up in pairs
anaphase= homolog pairs seperate
telophase= seperates to haploid 2N
34
Q

homolog pairs

A

lined up in meiosis one. called bivalent chromosomes and are said to be in synapsis

35
Q

meiosis 2

A

basically mitosis with no DNA replication

36
Q

ploidy

A

number of full single sets, not including duplicated. This is little n

37
Q

N (big N)

A

number of full single sets including replications

38
Q

primordial germ cells

A

cells that give rise to gametes in both males and females, in the yolk sac. 4-6 weeks they migrate from yolk sac, wall of gut tube, mesentery of gut, dorsal body wall. reside in loose mesenchymal pouches on . pGCs that get stranded on migration is teratoma.

39
Q

gametogenesis

A

producce gametes

40
Q

spermatogenesis

A

testes have spermatogonia. consatantly go through mitosis. support by sertoli cells. spermatogonia (diploid 2N) to primary spermatocytes (diploid 4N), secondary spermatocytes Haploid 2N), spermatids (haploid 1N)

41
Q

oogenesis

A

primary oocyte frozen in prophase 1. when signalled by hormone continues into 1 egg and 3 polar bodies. asymmetrical oogensis. secondary oocyte is large and gets the nutrients.

42
Q

fertilization

A

secondary oocyte (egg) is in metaphase 2 and only continues with a sperm.

43
Q

zona pellucida

A

glycoprotein layer prevents polyspermy

44
Q

cleavage

A

fertilized egg starts to divide. blastomere. 32 is morula.

45

46
Q

Downs

A

trisomy 21. 95% from error in gametogenesis.

47
Q

nondisjunction

A

error in separating. correlated to age

48
Q

translocation

A

21 gets attached to a other chromosome (usually 14) 3-4% of downs

49

rearrabgement between 14 and 21

50
Q

mosiacism
