    Study Notes

    • Copyright statements aim to protect intellectual property rights and provide guidelines for usage.
    • Downloading explicit content or materials not authorized for distribution is prohibited.
    • Students and faculty can download files for educational and personal use within the limits of fair use.

    Violations and Reporting

    • Users identifying potential copyright violations should report them to the appropriate authorities or designated copyright officers.

    Academic Use of Course Materials

    • St. George's University allows students and faculty to use course materials for educational purposes consistent with fair use practices.
    • Sharing of 'view only' lecture recordings is strictly prohibited among students and faculty.

    Cytoskeleton Structure

    • Protein filaments forming the cytoskeleton include microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments.
    • Microtubules, composed of tubulin, are the primary protein filaments responsible for cell structure and transport.

    Centrosomes

    • Centrosomes serve as microtubule-organizing centers, essential for cell division and maintaining cell shape.

    Motor Proteins

    • Myosin is the motor protein associated with microfilaments, playing a crucial role in cellular movements.

    Membrane Protrusions and Actin

    • Three major types of membrane protrusions include lamellipodia, filopodia, and pseudopodia.
    • Actin polymerization drives membrane protrusion and facilitates cell motility.

    Cellular Pathways

    • Autophagy refers to the cellular pathway involving degradation of cellular components through fusion with lysosomes.

    Vesicle Transport

    • The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus are linked by vesicles that facilitate bi-directional transport.

    Chromatin Structure

    • Chromatin components include DNA, histones, and non-histone proteins, which compact long DNA into dense structures within the nucleus.

    Structural Innovations in Cilia and Flagella

    • Primary cilia, motile cilia, and flagella have distinct structures and functions, essential for movement and sensory functions in cells.

    Microtubule and Microfilament Functionality

    • Compounds such as taxol affect microtubule function by stabilizing them, whereas cytochalasins impair microfilament functionality by preventing polymerization.

    Nucleus Composition

    • The nucleus contains chromatin, nucleoplasm, and the nucleolus, vital for DNA storage and ribosome production.
