Study Notes
Cell Structure
- The smallest unit of life is the cell.
- Cells are comprised of a cell body and a membrane.
- The cell body has two parts: the nucleus and the surrounding cytoplasm.
- The cell membrane is a protective sheath that envelops the cell body.
- The cell membrane separates the extracellular fluid (ECF) from the intracellular fluid (ICF).
- The cell membrane is semipermeable, allowing some substances to pass through while acting as a barrier for others.
- The cell membrane is composed of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.
- The cytoplasm of the cell is a jelly-like material containing cytosol and various particles.
Lysosomes
- Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing hydrolytic enzymes.
- Lysosomes are responsible for the breakdown of macromolecules within the cell.
- Lysosomes play a role in both heterophagy (digestion of extracellular materials) and autophagy (digestion of intracellular materials).
Golgi Apparatus
- The Golgi apparatus is a membrane-bound organelle responsible for processing and packaging materials within the cell.
- It modifies and processes glycoproteins and lipids.
- The Golgi apparatus packages materials into secretory granules, secretory vesicles, and lysosomes.
- It sorts and labels these materials depending on their chemical content for delivery to their destination.
- The Golgi apparatus is a crucial part of the cell's "shipping department."
Cell Membrane Functions
- The cell membrane provides structural integrity to the cell.
- Channel proteins facilitate the diffusion of water-soluble substances like glucose and electrolytes.
- Carrier or transport proteins aid in the transport of substances across the cell membrane through active or passive transport.
- Receptor proteins serve as receptor sites for hormones and neurotransmitters.
- Some protein molecules act as enzymes.
Types of Tissues
- There are four major primary types of tissues in the body:
- Muscle tissue (skeletal, smooth, cardiac)
- Nervous tissue (neurons and supporting cells)
- Epithelial tissue (squamous, columnar, cuboidal)
- Connective tissue (connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, blood)
Organ & Organ Systems
- An organ is formed by two or more primary types of tissues and performs specific functions.
- Examples of organs include the brain, heart, lungs, stomach, and intestines.
- An organ system is a group of organs working together to carry out specific functions.
- Examples of organ systems include the digestive, excretory, cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, endocrine, and musculoskeletal systems.
