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).
