Two Types of Cells
Sex and Somatic
Sex cells
germs cells that are derived from the testes (spermatozoa) or ovary (oocytes) germs cells (sperm and ovum)
Somatic Cells
all the remaining cells or cell types in the body (blood, bone, muscle, nerve, connective tissue)
Microscopy
study of internal structure and function of individual cells
Light Microscopy
uses transmitted light to permit magnifcation--up to 1000x
Electron Microscopy
uses a focused beam of electrons to examine cell ultrastructure up to 1000x smaller than seen with light microscopy 100,000x magnification
The Cell\'s Environment/ Cellular Anatomy
plasmalemma/cell membrane/plasma membrane cytoplasm extracellular fluid phospholipid bilayer
Plasmalemma/cell membrane/plasma membrane --cellular anatomy
on edge of cell, a thin membrane that separates the extracellular space from the inside of cell thin and delicate composed of phospholipids, proteins, glycolipids, and cholesterol
Cytoplasm --cellular anatomy
fluid medium inside the cell
Extracellular Fluid --cellular anatomy
watery medium where cells float high in sodium ions cations: Sodium, Potassium, Calcium anions: chloride, bicarbonate
phospholipid bilayer --cellular anatomy
contains proteins, glycolipids, and cholesterol
2 proteins in plasma membrane
integral and peripheral
integral proteins
embedded in the phospholipid bilayer
peripheral proteins
associated with either the outside of the inside layers of the plasma membrane
Functions of Cell Membrane
separates intracellular fluid from extracellular fluid controls entry and exit of substances--permeability
Permeability
ease with which dissolved materials can cross a membrane passive and active
Passive permeability -transport mechanisms -process
without expending cellular energy: simple diffusion: movement from high to low concentration osmosis: diffusion of water from high to low filtration: movement across a membrane of solutes/dissolved nutrients by hydrostatic forces facilitated diffusion: special carrier proteins transport larger molecules (proteins)
Active Transport -permeability
requires cellular energy--adenosine may have carrier mechanism--pumps endocytosis and exocytosis 1st part of cell to be affected by changes in the extracellular fluid gives tissue a stable structure
endocytosis
packaging of extracellular materials into a vesicle for transportation into the cell -all required energy -pinocytosis: cell drinking (fluid) -phagocytosis: cell eating (particulate matter) -receptor-mediated endocytosis: specific molecules are brought in the cytosol
exocytosis
removal or release of intracellular materials from cell
receptor-mediated endocytosis
specific target molecules called ligands bind to receptors, generally glycoproteins, in the membrane surface -this creates a more specific and enhanced internalization during endocytosis
Cytoplasm
combination of intracellular fluid (cytosol) limited by the plasma membrance and in which are dispersed organelles (small organs)
Cytosol
intracellular fluid -high in potassium, proteins, amino acids, and lipids -low in carbohydrates, NaCl, calcium, and Mg -inclusion bodies
Organelles
structures in cell 1. non-membranous 2. membranous
Nonmembranous Organelles
not enclosed by a membrane; always in contact with cytosol EX. cytoskeleton elements, microvilli, centrioles, cilia, flagella, ribosomes
Cytoskeleton
gives the cell strength and flexibility Parts: microfilaments, microtubules, intermediate filaments, thick filaments
microfilaments
smallest in diameter (6-8 nm) double-stranded linear helical array mainly actin anchors to the cell membrane forms dense netowrk with cell membrane can cause movement of cell when interacting with myosin
microtubules
largest in diameter (20-20nm) nonbranching long hollow cylinders -gives strength and rigidity to the cell -responsible for changing shape of cell -can attach to organelle to give it structure -mechanism for cell movement
intermediate filaments
medium in size (8-10nm) rope-like fibers -stabilize position of organelles -provides strength
microvilli
small finger-like projections on cell membranes -all have similar length -increase surface area -involved in cells whose function is absorption -contain actin filaments -microfilaments inside anchor them to dense network do not move, do not branch -found in gut
Cilia
non-branching, motile cell processes -not as dense as microvilli -longer in length than microvilli -beat or sway to move secretions and fluids over or across surface of cell -9+2 arrangement of microtubules that beat or sway -found in respiratory tract nonmembranous
Centrioles
paired structures important in cell division for organizing tubules that exert traction on chromosomes -composed of nine pairs of triplets (3 microtubules) -arranged at right angles to each other nonmembranous
Flagellum
resemble cilia, but are much longer and more powerful -primarily found on spermatozoa in various stages of maturation; so they move cells, not material over the cell nonmembranous
Ribosomes
small, dense granular structures -contain mainly RNA -manufacture proteins -either free or fixed
Two formations of ribosomes
free: present in cytoplasm as a string-like formation, called polyribosomes (ploysomes) -make proteins for use inside the cell fixed: make protein for use outside the cell -associated with cisternae of the rER
Membranous organelles
surrounded by lipid membrane; isolated from cytosol -allows organelle to manufacture or store secretions EX. mitochondria, nucleus, endoplasmis reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes
Mitochondria
-has double membrane and inner folds (cristae) -number of mitochondria depends on the cell\'s energy demands -responsible for producing 95percent of the ATP within a cell -can migrate from one region to another -have their own DNA (genome) -increase their numbers by division and make their own structural proteins (have their own ribosomes) -evolved from aerobic bacteria -present in all cells except RBC and terminal skin cells
Nucleus
control center of cell operations -determines structural and function characteristics of cell by controlling what proteins are made and in what quantity -in eukaryotic cells, not in bacteria -surrounded by nuclear envelope -communicates with cytoplasm via nuclear pores -nucleolus: nuclear organelles that synthesize RNA -nucleoplasm: contents of nucleus; contains chromosomes (DNA, 23 pairs) membranous
2 critical cellular operations done by the Nucleus
Transcription: using DNA to make mRNA segments Translation: mRNA segments move into the cytoplasm at ribosomes to serve as a code to synthesize new proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum
network of intracellular membranes that from tube-like chambers called cisternae RER: rough, has ribosomes for transport\' protein secreting cells SER: smooth, synthesis of lipids and carbs (no ribosomes); making cholesterol or steroid-like compounds membranous
4 Functions of Endoplasmic Reticulum
-synthesis of carbs, lipids, proteins -storage of synthesized molecules -transport of molecules -detoxification
Golgi Apparatus
series of membranous plates- cisternae that give rise to lysosomes and secretory vesicles membranous
Functions of Golgi Apparatus
-package material for lysosomes (that contain hydrolytic enzymes) -create membrane segments -form secretory vesicles that are tagged and excreted from the cell via exocytosis -synthesize and package secretions -package special enzymes
transport vesicles
carry packaged secretions of RER to Golgi apparatus -fuse with surface membrane of Golgi apparatus and empty into cisternae
secretory vesicles
formed by Golgi apparatus membrane -fuse with cell membrane and discharge their contents into extracellular fluid--exocytosis
Lysosomes
vesicles from Golgi apparatus that remain in the cell\'s cytoplasm -filled with hydrolytic enzymes -endocytotic vesicles fuse with lysosomes to eventually metabolize material taken into cell membranous
3 Functions of Lysosomes
1. removes bacteria and organic debris from cytoplasm and isolate it into vesicles 2. contains digestive enzymes 3. releases nutrient components into cytosol and expels waste by exoccytosis
3 types of Intercellular Attachments--Cell Junctions
occluding, anchoring, communicating
Occluding Junctions
represent a seal between 2 cells zonula occludens: block passage of water and other substances between 2 cells (aka tight junction)
Anchoring Junctions
zonula adherens: more like a sheet between cells; longer macula adherens: spot-weld, strong, resist stretching and twisting (aka desosome)
Communicating Junctions
Gap junction: allows for passage of small molecules (aka electrical, nexus)
Zonula occludens
blocks the passage of water or other substances from passing between cells occluding junction
Zonula adherens
-provide lateral adhesion between epithelial cells -interact with actin filaments within the cell anchoring junction
Macula adherens
-complex structure that involves dense proteins at the intercellular space -reinforced with network of intermediate filaments anchoring junction
Gap junction (electrical or nexus)
-permit the direct passage of signaling molecules (ions) between cells -narrow channels connect adjacent cells communicating junction
