CellsAnatomy & Physiology

Mackenzie, at 4 years old, was diagnosed with pneumonia. Her parents were worried, it seemed that Mackenzie was always sick. She always had a runny nose and had frequent ear infections. The diagnosis of pneumonia also revealed something else - Mackenzie had a condition known as situs inversus.

1. What do you think situs inversus is?

2. How might Mackenzie’s condition be related to cell disfunction? This mini case is based on a real person (

Cells vary in SIZE and STRUCTURE

Depends on what they do

Cytology = the study of cells

All Animal Cells have 3 main parts

●Nucleus●Cytoplasm (cytosol)●Cell Membrane

Cell Membrane is

selectively

permeable

Lipid bilayer (phospholipids) make up the membrane with proteins embedded to help regulate what comes across the membrane

Given Mackenzie’s history of illness, sniffles, and ear infections, doctors wanted to rule out cystic fibrosis. A simple “sweat test” is used to diagnose CF.

Examine the image. Why is CF considered a disorder related to the cell membrane.

Could CF have caused Mackenzie’s symptoms?

The sweat test showed that Mackenzie did not have extra chloride in her sweat. Does this mean that she does not have CF? Could there be another cause for Mackenzie’s frequent infections?

The cytoplasm (cytosol) is the area between the nucleus and the membrane.

Many of the cell’s metabolic reactions occur in this area.

Do you remember what metabolism is?

ORGANELLES-  "little organs" within the cell that perform specific functionsThe nucleus is to the cell what the __________is to a person.

The cell membrane is to a cell what the ________ is to a person.

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

Transport system; canals and channels that connect

membrane to nucleus and to organelles within the cell

Function = transport system

Smooth ER (lipid synthesis)

Rough ER (contains ribosomes for protein manufacture)

Golgi Apparatus

Flattened membranes;

Function = package and delivery of proteins produced

by the ribosomes

Proteins are exported in vesicles

Mitochondria ( The “powerhouse” of the cell )

Chemical energy from food is converted to a useable

form (ATP) -- process is called Cellular Respiration

What does respiration have to do with metabolism?

Lysosomes - contain digestive enzymes to break down

substances (“suicide sac”)

Remember the video on how beans become farts?

What is the enzyme in this image and how do you know?

Enzymes break down

substances in the cell,

such as food or worn out

cell parts, even bacteria.

What organ is your body is most like the lysosome?

Centrosome – two cylinders, centrioles, that sit

perpendicular

During cell division, the centrioles separate and

form a spindle.

The spindle moves chromosomes during cell division so that each new cell gets the proper number.

CYTOSKELETON

made of microfilaments and microtubules which

maintain shape and functions in movement

Cilia & Flagella

Doctors wanted to test Mackenzie for a disorder called “PRIMARY CILIARY DYSKINESIA”This disorder causes cells to not create normal cilia.

Cells scraped from the sinuses showed an irregularity in Mackenzie’s cilia.

What is different about this cilia?

Why would problems with cilia cause pneumonia, ear infections, and a constant runny nose?

NUCLEUS - (the “brain” of the cell)

Directs cell activities (the “brain” of the cell)

Contains genetic information (DNA) in the form of chromatin

Also contains a nucleolus – makes ribosomes

Has tiny pores in the nuclear membrane is where RNA can

exit the nucleus

Mackenzie can live with PCD, but she will always have a cough and deal with lung and ear infections.

What about the situs inversus?

Doctors have warned her parents that when she gets older, she may have trouble conceiving a child and is at risk for an ECTOPIC pregnancy.

What role does cilia play in reproduction?

It is believed that the motion of cilia may play a part in determining the placement of organs within the thoracic and abdominal cavities. In the absence of ciliary motion, organ placement becomes a random event, giving each affected embryo a 50/50 chance of having typical or atypical placement.

Super Difficult Bonus Question

Which part of the cell do you think is the most responsible for maintaining homeostasis?

Cells - Part 2Movement of Substances Across the Membrane

Cells must bring in materials, like food and oxygen and remove wastes.

These processes occur at the cell membrane.

PHOSPHOLIPID BILAYER

Cells are limited in size by the surface area (membrane) and volume (insides) ratio.

Increasing surface area can increase the cell’s efficiency moving substances.

Cells of the digestive system have projects called villi that aid in absorbing nutrients.

Diffusion - molecules tend to spread out; moving from

areas of high concentration to low concentration

Diffusion Animation

This process requires no energy, it is called

PASSIVE TRANSPORT

Movement of Substances Through the Membrane

Diffusion - molecules tend to spread out

Facilitated Diffusion - uses proteins as passageways

Diffusion Animation

OSMOSIS - the diffusion of water

Hypertonic HypotonicIsotonic

SALT

SUCKS

Osmosis Animation

Active Transport - requires energy (ATP)

Exocytosis - secretion; things exit cell

Endocytosis (phagocytosis & pinocytosis)

A. Interphase = growth phase, *differentiation occurs

B. Mitosis = nuclear division

C. Mitosis is followed by cytokinesis (cell division)

Cells - Part 3 The Life Cycle of the Cell

The steps of mitosis ensure that

each new cell has the exact same

number of chromosomes as the

original

●Interphase • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase

●IPMAT

The structure of a chromosome

1. chromosomes visible (chromatids)

2. centrioles migrate to the poles

3. nuclear membrane disappears

4. nucleolus disappears

5. spindle forms

chromosomes line up on the equator, spindle

attaches

chromatids separate at the centromere and move

to opposite poles

1. chromosomes disappear • chromatin

2. nuclear membrane reforms

3. nucleoli reappears

4. spindle disappears

5. centrioles duplicate

- division of the cytoplasm to form 2 new daughter

cells

- organelles are divided

- daughter cells are genetically identical

Cells return to interphase

DIFFERENTIATION

occurs as cells multiply and organism develops and grows

Cancer: caused by uncontrolled cell division
