Study Notes
Cell Biology
- The main function of the cell membrane is to regulate what enters and leaves the cell.
Cellular Organelles
- The nucleus is described as the 'brain of the cell' because it contains the cell's genetic material.
- The nucleolus is responsible for ribosome synthesis and plays a crucial role in protein synthesis.
- DNA is the component associated with cancer as a disease of nucleic origin.
- The common feature in neurodegenerative diseases related to the cytoskeleton is the abnormal aggregation of cytoskeletal proteins.
- Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for ATP production.
- The centrioles are responsible for forming the spindle fibers in mitosis of every cell.
- Lysosomes are particularly abundant in cells with great phagocytic activity, such as macrophages.
- Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
- Lysosomes are involved in the process of autophagy and heterophagy, which are mechanisms of cellular recycling.
