Study Notes
-
Three types of muscles: Skeletal, Smooth, and Cardiac
-
Skeletal muscles: Skeletal muscles are attached to bone, contraction is voluntary, striated with striation of contractile filaments (actin, myosin), nuclei are located at the periphery
-
Smooth muscles: Internal organs muscles, spindle shape, contraction is involuntary, non-striated with nuclei present, make up the walls of internal organs such as intestine and blood vessels
-
Cardiac muscles: In the heart, involuntary contraction, striated and nucleated, branched and bound together by intercalated disks
-
Nervous tissue: Components of the nervous system, two major parts: Central (Brain & Spinal Cord) and Peripheral (nerves), neurons transmit nerve impulses, neuroglia provide support
-
Neurons: Structural and functional unit of the nervous system, composed of a cell body (soma), dendrites, axon, and nucleus
-
Connective tissue: Five classes including bones, cartilage, adipose tissue, loose and dense connective tissue, functions as a connector, supporter, and binder
-
Bones: Compact bone has a complex structure with Haversian systems, central canals, osteocytes, and blood vessels
-
Cartilage: Found at bone ends and in trachea, protects bones, acts as a shock absorber, made up of cells called chondroblasts and chondrocytes, and an extracellular matrix
-
Blood: Liquid tissue in the body, consisting of cells and a plasma matrix, transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste products, regulates body temperature, and protects against disease
-
Leukocytes: White blood cells, have nuclei and mitochondria, aid in defense and immunity, can move through tissue and phagocytize foreign agents, classified as granulocytes and agranulocytes based on their granules
-
Granulocytes: Multilobular nucleus (polymorphnuclear), granules stain differently when using specific stains, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils have distinct characteristics
-
Agranulocytes: Mononuclear cells, monocytes leave the bloodstream to become macrophages, defend the body against viruses and bacteria.

-
Lymphocytes, specifically B cells and T cells, are large nucleated cells with thin cytoplasm and stain dark purple.
-
They are crucial for the immune response, with B cells producing antibodies and T cells acting against virus-infected cells and tumors.
-
Monocytes and platelets are non-nucleated cell fragments that function in blood clotting. Monocytes are larger and have a longer lifespan than platelets.
-
Cell division is the process by which a cell splits into two daughter cells. There are three types: prokaryotic binary fission, eukaryotic mitosis (for growth and repair), and eukaryotic meiosis (for the formation of sex cells).
-
The cell cycle is the sequence of events that a cell undergoes during growth and division. It consists of interphase and mitotic phase. Interphase is further divided into G1, S, and G2 phases.
-
Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells. It consists of four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. During mitosis, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and chromatids are separated at the centromere and pulled to opposite poles.
-
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces four haploid gametes from one diploid germ cell. It consists of two nuclear divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, resulting in two haploid cells. Meiosis II separates sister chromatids, resulting in four haploid cells.
-
Before meiosis, a cell undergoes interphase, during which it grows and prepares for meiosis. Homologous chromosomes are paired during meiosis I, and crossing over occurs during prophase I.
-
During meiosis I, the chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate and are separated at the centromere during anaphase, resulting in two haploid daughter cells.
-
During meiosis II, the chromatids separate at the centromere, and each chromatid migrates to an opposite pole.
-
After telophase II, the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes, and cytokinesis occurs, forming four haploid gametes.
