"instruction manual"

gene
Definition
The instruction manual to build a human being is contained in the DNA

Only a part of the instruction manual is read by each cell

A gene is the part of the instruction manual that is read
Term
chromatin
Definition
uncondensed DNA
Term
chromosomes
Definition
just before the cell divides the DNA condenses

the condensed DNA is called chromsomes
Term
endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
the rough ER surrounds the nucleus
studded by ribosomes

located near perifere of nucleus
Term
Golgi Apparatus
Definition
“flattened pancakes”
Term
DNA "rungs"
Definition
the rungs are called base pairs

A-T
G-C

base pairs known as human genome
Term
transcription
Definition
Start with DNA template
Have to match up the pairs

ACTGACTTC
UGACUGAAG mRNA

basically make the DNA into mRNA to go through translation
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
power houses, generate ATP
Term
Apical cell surface
Definition
most superficial
Term
Basal surface
Definition
most deep
Term
Cell Junctions
Definition
how neighboring cells interact
Term
Tight junctions
Definition
wont let through a whole lot
Term
Desmosome
Definition
cytoskeleton(frame work of the cell-move provide support)
Term
Gap Junctions
Definition
a pore from one cell to the other
Term
3 “fates” of a cell
Definition
1. divide and grow-the fate most cells accept
2. not to divide
3. die-necrosis-trama injury, lack of O2, nutrients, disrupt homeostasis
a. inflammation-how the body responds to injury and death
i. painful, red, warm, swelling-4 cardinal signs of inflammation
ii. a healing response brining more blood in
iii. very debilitating
b. other type of cell death-has a “death gene”
i. called apoptosis
ii. occurs because it is supposed to die
iii. no inflammation
iv. embryos have webbing, apoptosis occurs it the webbing cells and fingers are made
v. we are given way to many nerve cells so many are programmed to die
Term
which stage does a cell spend most of it's time?
Definition
cell spends most of its life in interphase (between phases)
Term
metabolizing
Definition
either builds stuff up (anabolism), tear things down (catabolism)
needs a constant homeostasis, intake of nutrients, and waste removal
Term
G-0 phase
Definition
some cell never get the start signal but go to a G-0 phase-they wont divide-resting stage
Term
Mitosis
Definition
is just dividing the DNA
Term
Cytokinesis
Definition
after the nuclear contents or DNA have divided, now you have to divvy up the cytoplasmic contents.
Term
S phase of Interphase when we duplicated the DNA
Definition
so now we have a nucleus filled up with 2x as much DNA as before, still in the chromatin stage that’s where we are when we get our start signal
Term
Prophase
Definition
Chromatin condenses-DNA becomes visable chromosomes
Term
Metaphase
Definition
Chromosomes lie along midline of cell
Term
the "star structure" in the drawings
Definition
the centrosome area and in that area are the pair of centrioles are only interesting in the business in division when divison does occur, one pair goes to one pole of the cell and the other goes to the other pole. The “spindles” of the star are going to grab on to the chromosomes.
Term
Anaphase
Definition
Migrate
Term
Telophase
Definition
Cleavage furrow is the land mark we look for at telephase-the two resulting cells where they are still combined, but are basically two separate cells
Term
Normal vs abnormal cell biopsy
Definition
Normal biopsy many cells in interphase
Abnormal many cells in mitotic phases
Term
Hypertrophy cell adaptation
Definition
increase in size
You’re muscles get bigger-but the cells do not divide since they’re in g0…the cells themselves get bigger, not divide
Term
Hyperplasia
Definition
increase in numbers
Term
Atrophy
Definition
decrease in size
Term
Dysplasia
Definition
change shapes
Loose normal morphology
Term
Metaplasia?????????
Definition
Term
neoplasia?????
Definition
Term
DNA goes to mRNA through....
Definition
transcription
Term
mRNA to protein through translation
Definition
Term
Epithelium
Definition
tissue that lines the inside of organs, blood vessels, or covers, aka outer layer of skin; glandular (epithelium cells specialized in producing a product and secreting that product)
Term
Connective Tissue
Definition
supports body, binds
Term
Nervous Tissue
Definition
conduct information
Term
muscle tissue
Definition
special function of contraction
Term
connexon
Definition
the whole inbetween cell in gap junctions
Term
Simple epithelium
Definition
one layer of cells
Term
Stratified epithelium
Definition
multiple layers of cells

mmmmm
mmmmm
mmmmm
mmmmm
Term
by which layer of cells do you decide if it is simple or stratified?
Definition
by the top layer of cells
Term
Squamous
Definition
cell shape where the cells look flattened, little hight long length
Term
Cubodial
Definition
cell shape where the cells look like sugar cubes
Term
Columnar
Definition
cell shape, large hight little width, like a normal column
Term
Glandular epitheal
Definition
make something secrete something
o Uniceullar
o multicellular

o exocrine-duct
o endocrine-blood
Term
Connective tissue cells suspended in a Matrix
Definition
Matrix
ground substance and fibers
• elastic
• reticular
• collagen
• you can end up with a fluid matrix, solid matrix, semisolid matrix
Term

Definition
responsible for making the matrix
o scar of nonfunctional tissue is laid down by fibroblasts
Term
mast cells
Definition
o produce histamine and heparin
Term
plasma cells
Definition
o cells that produce antibodies
