    Study Notes

    Cells

    • The fluid-mosaic model describes the cell membrane structure, composed of a phospholipid bilayer with cholesterol and proteins.
    • Phospholipid bilayer separates intracellular and extracellular environments, facilitating cell communication and recognition.
    • Selectively permeable, allowing potassium ions in and sodium ions out of the cell.
    • Anucleated cells include red blood cells (RBCs), platelets, and epidermal skin cells.
    • Genetic material hierarchical order: Genome > Chromosome > Gene > Nucleotide.
    • Eukaryotic cells contain a true nucleus; prokaryotic cells do not.
    • Cell theory principles: all organisms consist of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and all cells arise from pre-existing cells.
    • Types of proteins: Integral (embedded in membrane), Peripheral (on the surface), Glycoproteins (carbohydrate attachments).

    Cytoskeleton Components

    • Microtubules: largest diameter, helps in maintaining cell shape and structure.
    • Intermediate filaments: medium diameter, support desmosomes, and resist pulling forces on cells.
    • Microfilaments: smallest diameter, involved in cell motility and shape changes.

    Endoplasmic Reticulum Functions

    • Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER): site of protein synthesis, abundant in ribosomes.
    • Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER): lipid synthesis site, particularly in the liver for detoxification and contains many peroxisomes.

    Cell Transport Mechanisms

    • Passive Transport: does not require ATP; includes diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.
    • Active Transport: requires ATP; includes primary and secondary active transport.

    Mitosis Stages

    • The order of mitosis follows IPMAT: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

    Tissue Types

    • Different types of epithelia serve diverse roles in the body.
    • Examples include Simple Squamous epithelium (found in blood vessels and alveoli) and Simple Cuboidal epithelium (found in kidney tubules and glands).

    Gland Structure

    • Glands can be classified as tubular (straight, narrow) or acinar (saclike, wider than the duct).
    • Modes of secretion include Merocrine (most common, via exocytosis) and Apocrine (where cells pinch off to release content).
