Study Notes

Cytology

  • From the following organelles, select those of general importance: RER, SER, Golgi Complex, mitochondria, peroxisome, lysosomes.
  • Anaphase of mitosis is characterized by chromosome migration to opposite poles of the mitotic spindle.
  • Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is a system of tubules and channels; it lacks ribosomes and synthesizes polysaccharides, lipids, and accumulates calcium ions. It's involved in detoxification.
  • During anaphase, chromosomes move toward the poles of the cell.
  • Basophilic aspect of the cytoplasm is due to the presence of rough endoplasmic reticulum.
  • Intercellular junctions include desmosomes and gap junctions.
  • Cytokinesis occurs during telophase.
  • The nucleus preserves and transmits genetic information and directs protein synthesis.
  • Nonmembranous organelles are ribosomes, centrioles, and microtubules.
  • Mitochondria release energy.
  • Gap junctions allow intercellular communication. Cell membranes consist of glycocalyx, plasmalemma, and cytoskeleton.
  • Prophase involves chromatin condensation, nucleolus disappearance, nuclear membrane breakdown, and centriole movement.
  • Chromatin includes DNA, RNA, and histone proteins.
  • Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) synthesizes and secretes proteins for export, while Golgi Complex modifies and packages them.
  • The nucleus contains nuclear membrane, nuclear skeleton, chromatin, nucleoplasm, and nucleolus.
  • The metaphase plate is a characteristic feature of metaphase, with chromosomes arranged at the equator.
  • Desmosomes are intercellular junctions characteristic of epithelial cells.
  • Chromatin fibers are composed of DNA, proteins, and RNA.
  • During metaphase, the chromosomes align at the cell equator.
  • Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) synthesizes proteins for export.

Embryology

  • Spermatozoa's movement toward the oocyte is aided by female reproductive system contractions.
  • The oocyte gains a haploid chromosome number through meiosis.
  • Meiosis II of oocytes completion during fertilization.
  • Corona radiata is composed of follicular cells.
  • Spermatozoon's acrosome contains enzymes for zona pellucida penetration.
  • Acrosome is a lysosome.
  • Spermatazoan gain a haploid chromosome number through meiosis.
  • The extraembryonic organs in humans are the chorion, placenta, amnion, yolk sac, and umbilical cord.
  • Gastrulation involves cell proliferation, growth, and differentiation.
  • Myotome, sclerotome, and nephrotome develop from the mesoderm.
  • The central nervous system develops from the neural tube.
  • Ectoderm gives rise to skin and nervous tissue; mesoderm gives rise to muscles and connective tissues, and endoderm gives rise to the digestive and respiratory systems.
  • The early gastrulation cell material of the embryoblast divides into hypoblast and epiblast.
  • Implantation of the blastocyst takes place in the uterine lining.
  • The result of the second gastrulation phase is the formation of three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm).

Histology

  • Multilocular adipocytes are characterized by numerous lipid droplets in the cytoplasm and a centrally located nucleus.
  • Glycocalyx is a structural component of the cell membrane.
  • Fibroblasts secrete collagen, elastic fibers, and fibronectin.
  • Mast cells secrete histamine.
  • Intramembranous ossification involves the formation of osteogenic islands.
  • Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells.
  • Hyaline cartilage contains chondrocytes, territorial and interterritorial matrices.
  • Bone lamellae form the haversian systems, interstitial lamellae, and circumferential systems.
  • The perichondrium surrounds hyaline and elastic cartilage.
  • Plasma cells secrete antibodies.
  • Adipocytes store fat.
  • The triad of skeletal muscle fibers includes two terminal cisterns of sarcoplasmic reticulum and one T-tubule.
  • Cardiac muscle cells are characterized by intercalated discs.
  • Smooth muscle tissue is derived from mesenchyme, whereas skeletal muscle tissue develops from the myotome.
  • Multilocular adipocytes have multiple fat droplets.
  • Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has a role in synthesizing lipids and carbohydrates; rough endoplasmic reticulum is associated with protein synthesis.
  • Intermediate filaments are part of the cytoskeletal structure providing strength and support to cells.
  • Protoplasmic and fibrous astrocytes are types of macroglia in the nervous system.
  • Ependymal cells line the central canal of the spinal cord and brain ventricles.
  • Neurons consist of dendrites, axon, and cell body.
  • Synapses are junctions between neurons or between neurons and other cells.
  • Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the central nervous system.
  • Schwann cells produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system.
