  1. The Cell Theory Chapter 2

  2. The Cell • All living things are made of cells. • Cells are the smallest living unit of life. • Each cell performs the necessary functions to sustain life. • Cells can replicate themselves. Cancer occurs when cells replicate haphazzardly. • Cellular function is carried out by organelles.

  3. Cellular reactions are mediated (controlled) by ENZYMES. • Enzymes speed up chemical reactions. • All the chemical reactions in the body make up its METABOLISM. • There are 10 organelles that you are responsible for.

  4. Plasma Membrane • Outer covering of the cell. • Also called the PLASMALEMMA. • Separates the intracellular (inside) fluid and the extracellular (outside) fluid. • Double layer of lipids (fat) with protein molecules between the layers. Fluid Mosaic Model

  5. Polar Head (like water) • Non-polar tails (do not like water) • Proteins within the membrane. They give support to the membrane and prevent it from collapsing. • Carbohydrates are attached to the integral proteins. These form the GLYCOCALYX.

  6. The glycocalyx is a sticky coat that allows the cell to bind to other cells. • The glycocalyx also serves as a marker. i.e.: certain antibiotics recognize the glycocalyx and attach to the cell.

  7. Functions of the Plasma Membrane • Allows entry into the cell (Endocytosis) Phagocytosis – cell eating Pinocytosis – cell drinking Receptor-Mediated - hormones • Allows movement out of cells (Exocytosis)

  8. Cytoplasm • Cytosol is a gel like substance which holds all the internal cellular organelles. • Contains ions, water, and enzymes.

  9. THE ORGANELLES • Perform all the cellular functions. • “Little Organs”

  10. MITOCHONDRIA • Power plant of the cell • Produces energy

  11. RIBOSOME • 2 parts that make proteins. Ribosome RNA

  12. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM • Subway system of the cell. • Network of membrane-walled tubes that twist through the cytoplasm. • ROUGH E.R. – have ribosomes attached. • SMOOTH E.R. – do not have ribosomes attached.

  13. GOLGI APPARATUS • Stacks of disk shaped membranes. Sort Package proteins Process

  14. LYSOSOMES • Sacs containing digestive enzymes that can break down almost all types of biological materials. CELLULAR DRAIN-O

  15. PEROXISOMES • Contain oxidases (use oxygen to neutralize aggressive compounds known as free radicals). • Free radicals can damage cellular proteins, membranes, and DNA if left to accumulate.

  16. CYTOSKELETON • System of complex rods that run throughout the cytoplasm. • Microtubules • Microfilaments

  17. CENTROSOME • Contains a matrix and an inner pair of centrioles which are important in cellular division.

  18. NUCLEUS Membrane bound organelle which is the control center for all cellular activity.. Contains DNA – produce instructions for protein synthesis. Contain chromosomes Produce ribsomes in the nucleolus

  19. Related Clinical Terms • NECROSIS – cellular death due to disease or injury. • HYPERTROPHY – increase in size. i.e. Muscle cells become hypertrophic in response to exercise.

  20. Endoplasmic reticulum Cell membrane Golgi apparatus nucleus mitochondria

  21. TISSUES Chapter Four

  22. OBJECTIVES for Tissues • Be able to list the four basic tissue types and give examples of each. • Describe the functions of each tissue type. • Describe the cellular components of each tissue type. • Describe and identify the morphology of epithelial tissue types.

  23. Tissues • Cells do not operate independently. • Related cells work and operate together in organized groups. The bottom line: Tissues are clubs of cellular organization.

  24. Four Types of Tissues • 1. Epithelial Tissue • 2. Connective Tissue • 3. Muscle Tissue • 4. Nervous Tissue

  25. EPITHELIAL TISSUE Covers the body surface or Lines a body cavity

  26. Epithelial Tissue • Occurs at the interface of two different environments. i.e. The epidermis is between the inside and the outside of the body. • Protects the body by detecting harmful stimuli. i.e. Receptors for pain are found within the skin.

  27. Secretion release of molecules from the cell • Absorption bringing small molecules into the cell.

  28. Ion transport – moves ions (charged molecules) across a membrane. • The epithelium filters fluids that cross the barrier.

  29. Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue 1. Cellularity – composed almost entirely of cells. 2. Specialized Contacts – connects adjacent cells. • gap junctions, tight junctions, desmosomes 3. Polarity – under surface called the “basement membrane”. 4. Avascular – lacks blood vessels. Receives nutrients through the underlying connective tissue

  30. 5. Regeneration – replaces lost/dead cells quickly.

  31. Shapes of Epithelial Tissue • Simple Epithelium – one layer • Stratified Epithelium – more than one layer • Squamous – cells are wider than tall • Cuboidal – cells are just about as tall as wide • Columnar – cells are taller than wide.

  32. CONNECTIVE TISSUE • Types of connective tissue Fat Cartilage Ligaments and Tendons Bone Blood Collagen

  33. Functions of Connective Tissue • 1. Support and bind other tissues. (tendons, ligaments) • 2. Hold body fluids (ground substance). • 3. Defend against infection - mast cells - macrophages - plasma cells - neutrophils • 4. Store nutrients as fat.

  34. Muscle Tissue • Brings about body movement. • Moves by shortening. • Three Types: 1. skeletal – pulls on long bones. Striated. 2. cardiac – only in the heart. 3. smooth – no visible striations. Found in walls of hollow visceral organs such as digestive system, urinary organs, blood vessels, and uterus. Mostly involuntary.

  35. Nerve Tissue • Uses electrical impulses to transport information. • Can Regenerate

  36. Identify the Following: Epidermis Dermis Hair follicle Subcutaneous fat Pore
