Presentation Transcript- Introduction to Human Anatomy & Physiology Cells and Tissues
- Cells and Tissues • Carry out all chemical activities needed to sustain life • Cells are the building blocks of all living things • Tissues are groups of cells that are similar in structure and function
- Anatomy of the Cell • Cells are not all the same • All cells share general structures • Cells are organized into three main regions • Nucleus • Cytoplasm • Plasma membrane Figure 3.1a
- The Nucleus • Control center of the cell • Contains genetic material (DNA) • Three regions • Nuclear membrane • Nucleolus • Chromatin Figure 3.1b
- Nuclear Membrane • Barrier of nucleus • Consists of a double phospholipid membrane • Contain nuclear pores that allow for exchange of material with the rest of the cell
- Nucleoli • Nucleus contains one or more nucleoli • Sites of ribosome production • Ribosomes then migrate to the cytoplasm through nuclear pores • Site for protein systhesis
- Chromatin • Composed of DNA and protein • Scattered throughout the nucleus • Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes when the cell divides
- Plasma Membrane • Barrier for cell contents • Double phospholipid layer • Hydrophilic heads • Hydrophobic tails • Also contains protein, cholesterol, and glycoproteins
- Plasma Membrane Figure 3.2
- Plasma Membrane Specializations • Microvilli • Finger-like projections that increase surface area for absorption • Membrane junctions • Tight junctions • Desmosomes • Gap junctions Figure 3.3
- Cytoplasm • Material outside the nucleus and inside the plasma membrane • Cytosol • Fluid that suspends other elements • Organelles • Metabolic machinery of the cell • Inclusions • Non-functioning units
- Cytoplasmic Organelles Figure 3.4
- Cytoplasmic Organelles • Ribosomes • Made of protein and RNA • Sites of protein synthesis • Found at two locations • Free in the cytoplasm • Attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum
- Cytoplasmic Organelles • Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) • Fluid-filled tubules for carrying substances • Two types of ER • Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum • Studded with ribosomes • Site where building materials of cellular membrane are formed • Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum • Functions in cholesterol synthesis and breakdown, fat metabolism, and detoxification of drugs
- Cytoplasmic Organelles • Golgi apparatus • Modifies and packages proteins • Produces different types of packages • Secretory vesicles • Cell membrane components • Lysosomes
- Golgi Apparatus Figure 3.6
- Cytoplasmic Organelles • Lysosomes • Contain enzymes that digest nonusable materials within the cell • Peroxisomes • Membranous sacs of oxidase enzymes • Detoxify harmful substances • Break down free radicals (highly reactive chemicals) • Replicate by pinching in half
- Cytoplasmic Organelles • Mitochondria • “Powerhouses” of the cell • Change shape continuously • Carry out reactions where oxygen is used to break down food • Provides ATP for cellular energy
- Cytoplasmic Organelles • Cytoskeleton • Network of protein structures that extend throughout the cytoplasm • Provides the cell with an internal framework Figure 3.7a
- Cytoplasmic Organelles • Cytoskeleton • Three different types • Microfilaments • Intermediate filaments • Microtubules Figure 3.7b–d
- Cytoplasmic Organelles • Centrioles • Rod-shaped bodies made of microtubules • Direct the formation of mitotic spindle during cell division
- Cellular Projections • Not found in all cells • Used for movement • Cilia moves materials across the cell surface • Flagellum propels the cell
- Cell Diversity Figure 3.8a–b
- Cell Diversity Figure 3.8c
- Cell Diversity Figure 3.8f–g
- Cellular Physiology: Membrane Transport • Membrane Transport – movement of substance into and out of the cell • Transport is by two basic methods • Passive transport • No energy is required • Active transport • The cell must provide metabolic energy
- Solutions and Transport • Solution – homogeneous mixture of two or more components • Solvent – dissolving medium • Solutes – components in smaller quantities within a solution • Intracellular fluid – nucleoplasm and cytosol • Interstitial fluid – fluid on the exterior of the cell
- Selective Permeability • The plasma membrane allows some materials to pass while excluding others • This permeability includes movement into and out of the cell
- Passive Transport Processes • Diffusion • Particles tend to distribute themselves evenly within a solution • Movement is from high concentration to low concentration, or down a concentration gradient Figure 3.9
- Passive Transport Processes • Types of diffusion • Simple diffusion • Unassisted process • Solutes are lipid-soluble materials or small enough to pass through membrane pores • Osmosis – simple diffusion of water • Highly polar water easily crosses the plasma membrane • Facilitated diffusion • Substances require a protein carrier for passive transport
- Diffusion through the Plasma Membrane Figure 3.10
- Passive Transport Processes • Filtration • Water and solutes are forced through a membrane by fluid, or hydrostatic pressure • A pressure gradient must exist • Solute-containing fluid is pushed from a high pressure area to a lower pressure area
- Active Transport Processes • Transport substances that are unable to pass by diffusion • They may be too large • They may not be able to dissolve in the fat core of the membrane • They may have to move against a concentration gradient • Two common forms of active transport • Solute pumping • Bulk transport
- Active Transport Processes • Solute pumping • Amino acids, some sugars and ions are transported by solute pumps • ATP energizes protein carriers, and in most cases, moves substances against concentration gradients
- Active Transport Processes Figure 3.11
- Active Transport Processes • Bulk transport • Exocytosis • Moves materials out of the cell • Material is carried in a membranous vesicle • Vesicle migrates to plasma membrane • Vesicle combines with plasma membrane • Material is emptied to the outside
- Exocytosis Figure 3.12a
- Active Transport Processes • Bulk transport • Endocytosis • Extracellular substances are engulfed by being enclosed in a membranous vescicle • Types of endocytosis • Phagocytosis – cell eating • Pinocytosis – cell drinking
- Endocytosis Figure 3.13a
- Cell Life Cycle • Cells have two major periods • Interphase • Cell grows • Cell carries on metabolic processes • Cell division • Cell replicates itself • Function is to produce more cells for growth and repair processes
- DNA Replication • Genetic material duplicated and readies a cell for division into two cells • Occurs toward the end of interphase • DNA uncoils and each side serves as a template Figure 3.14
- Events of Cell Division • Mitosis • Division of the nucleus • Results in the formation of two daughter nuclei • Cytokinesis • Division of the cytoplasm • Begins when mitosis is near completion • Results in the formation of two daughter cells
- Stages of Mitosis • Interphase • No cell division occurs • The cell carries out normal metabolic activity and growth • Prophase • First part of cell division • Centromeres migrate to the poles
- Stages of Mitosis • Metaphase • Spindle from centromeres are attached to chromosomes that are aligned in the center of the cell
- Stages of Mitosis • Anaphase • Daughter chromosomes are pulled toward the poles • The cell begins to elongate • Telophase • Daughter nuclei begin forming • A cleavage furrow (for cell division) begins to form
- Stages of Mitosis Figure 3.15
- Stages of Mitosis Figure 3.15(cont)
- Protein Synthesis • Gene – DNA segment that carries a blueprint for building one protein • Proteins have many functions • Building materials for cells • Act as enzymes (biological catalysts) • RNA is essential for protein synthesis
- Protein Synthesis • Gene – DNA segment that carries a blueprint for building one protein • Proteins have many functions • Building materials for cells • Act as enzymes (biological catalysts) • RNA is essential for protein synthesis
- Role of RNA • Transfer RNA (tRNA) • Transfers appropriate amino acids to the ribosome for building the protein • Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) • Helps form the ribosomes where proteins are built • Messenger RNA • Carries the instructions for building a protein from the nucleus to the ribosome Load More .
