Patho Lecture One Flashcards
What is the difference between cells and tissues?
Cells are the smallest functioning unit of life while tissues are a collection of cells with special functions that makes them larger functional groups
What is a eukaryotic cell and what are its primary components ?
Eukaryotic cell is a cell with a true nucleus and the primary components are a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and a nucleus
The nucleus
Center of the cell and is enclosed in nuclear envelope Nucleoplasm lies with in the nucleus contains genome and the enzymes needed for RNA and DNA transcriptions
Cytoplasm
lies outside of the nucleus and contains the organelles
Cytoplasmic matrix
Is within the cytoplasm and is a aqueous gel that contains the organelles
What are the functions of the cell membrane or plasma membrane?
Separates the intracellular and extracellular fluids control transport of things into the cell participates in the electrical current cell growth and proliferation
What is the cell membrane made of?
Fats, CHO, and proteins lipid bilayer, integral proteins, peripheral proteins, and glycocalx
Lipid bilayer
impermeable to all but lipid soluble
Glycocalyx
(cell coat) surrounds the cell surface
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
has no ribosomes and is continuous with the rough ER
What are the functions of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
it is involved in lipid and steroid hormone synthesis regulates calcium in the cell. Calcium stored in cistern for muscle contractions detoxes drugs smooth ER has prominent cells in the liver for glycogen storage and metabolism of lipid soluble drugs
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Covered in attached ribosomes has a strand of mRNA
Ribosomes
Are organelles that are related to protein synthesis small particles that are made in the nucleolus leaves the nucleus through tunnels of the ROUGH ER and attaches to the ROUGH ER
Golgi apparatus
Consists of flattened vesicles
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus ?
Near the nucleus and work with the ER receives the vesicle and then modifies and repackages them in a vesicle the vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and goes to where is needed
Ribosomes and Golgi body Provers
Ribosomes leave nucleolus and attach to the rough endoplasmic reticulum ribosomes gather and connect amino acids and put it into chains Leaves rough endoplasmic reticulum in vesicle to Golgi body Golgi body modifies, processes and make final changes goes into vesicle where it fuses with cell membrane and out where it is needed
Which organelle builds protein?
Ribosomes
Which organelle stores DNA?
Nucleus
Which organelle produces ribosomes?
Nucleolus
Which organelle synthesis lipids and steroid hormones and breaks down toxins?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What structure allows material to exit/enter the cell?
cell or plasma membrane
Mitochondria
Called the power house because it uses cellular respiration to make ATP has its own DNA, own ribosomal protein, and is able to replicate
Lysosomes
Formed in the rough endoplasmic reticulum from digestive multi vesicular bodies called endosomes digest various molecules and substances (cell itself or other cells) usually cells that are no longer functional or old
Functions of Lysosomes
transported to the Golgi body and modified and packaged to transport to endoscopes digestion breakdown food and proteins into amino acids kill pathogens either by autolysis or phagocytosis
