Anatomy of the Cell • Cells differ (200 types), but share general structures • Cells are organized into three main regions • Nucleus • Cytoplasm • Plasma membrane Figure 3.1a
The Nucleus - Control center Contains genetic material (DNA) • Nuclear envelope w/ pores • Nucleolus • Chromatin Figure 3.1b
nucleus nuclear pores
Chromatin • Composed of DNA and protein • Scattered throughout the nucleus • Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes when the cell divides

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum • synthesizes lipids • regulates carbohydrate metabolism (liver) • breaks down toxins and drugs (liver) • Stores Ca++ in muscle cells

Cytoplasmic Organelles Figure 3.4
The CYTOSKELETON helps organize a cell’s structure and activities • network of protein fibers - microfilaments, microtubules Figure 4.17A
Cilia and flagella • appendages that protrude from certain cells • Function: movement • Made of microtubules wrapped in the plasma membrane • Centrioles - movement of chromosomes in cell division
Animal cells - surrounded by an extracellular matrix • sticky layer of glycoproteins • binds cells together in tissues • protects and support cells
Plasma Membrane Specializations • Microvilli • increase surface area for absorption • Membrane junctions • Tight junctions • Desmosomes • Gap junctions Figure 3.3
Cells and Tissues • Cells = building blocks of all living things • Carry out chemical activities needed for life • Tissues are groups of cells that are similar in structure and function
