Objectives • Morphology and basic function: • Cell • Cytoplasm • Organelles • Other intracellular contents • Nucleus and cell division ANA 151 Cells
Anatomy handbook pg. 9 to 13. • http://histoweb.up.ac.za ANA 151 Cells
17th c. microscopy • Robert Hooke • Micrographia (1664) • Malpighi (1660's) • Blood vessels in chick embryos • Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1670's) • Manufactured microscopes ANA 151 Cells
Multi-cellular organisms • Cell • Distinct entity • Can function independently • Cell membrane: separates from the external environment • Shape is adapted to function ANA 151 Cells
Cell substance (protoplasm) • 70% water • Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) • Inorganic materials such as calcium, potassium, sodium, iron etc. ANA 151 Cells
Main components • Surface of the cell • Cell membrane • Cytoplasm • Organelles • Except for ribosomes, all have membranes ANA 151 Cells
Cell surfaces • Cilia • Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium • Microvilli • Junctional complexes • GI tract ANA 151 Cells
Cell surfaces • Cilia • Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium • Microvilli • Junctional complexes • GI tract ANA 151 Cells
Cell membrane • Protect cell, selectively permeable, cell to cell interactions • Endocytosis - bring in • Exocytosis - send out • Phospholipid bilayer ANA 151 Cells
Ribosomes • Synthesizing proteins • Free floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) • Plentiful in liver cells and erythroblasts ANA 151 Cells
Rough endoplasmic reticulum • Parallel tubes, sheets and cavities • Studded with ribosomes • Prominent in liver and pancreatic cells - manufacture proteins for secretion • Associated with Golgi apparatus and smooth endoplasmic reticulum ANA 151 Cells
Golgi apparatus • Parallel tubes of various shape and size. • No ribosomes • Process and modify RER secretion products • Secretory vesicles ANA 151 Cells
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum • Smooth tubules that anatomose • No ribosomes • Steroid synthesis and drug detoxification occurs ANA 151 Cells
Lysosomes • Small digestive organelle • Removes bacteria, old organelles, and secretory vesicles from the cell • Macrophages ANA 151 Cells
Mitochondria • Ovid or rod-shaped • Double membrane • Christae mitochondriales - inner folds • Produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ANA 151 Cells
Cytoskeleton • Intracellular architecture • Microtubules - pipe-like structure • Microfilament • Centrioli • 9 sets of microtubules ANA 151 Cells
Nucleus • Largest organelle • Contains chromosomes (DNA) • Gene expression, heredity and cell division (mitosis and meiosis) • Shape is variable: round, oval, kidney ANA 151 Cells
Nuclear envelope • Double membrane with pores (nuclear pores) • Restricts molecules larger than 70 nm • Nucleolus: RNA production • Nucleoplasm ANA 151 Cells
Chromosomes • Humans: 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) • 22 pairs: autosomes • 1 pair: sex chromosomes • Female: XX • Male: XY ANA 151 Cells
Cell division • Replace old cells, develop new cells, and form egg and sperm cells • Process of division is mitosis for autosomes chromosomes and meiosis for sex chromosomes. ANA 151 Cells
Mitosis • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase • Process produces an identical cell ANA 151 Cells
Prophase ANA 151 Cells
Metaphase ANA 151 Cells
Anaphase ANA 151 Cells
Telophase ANA 151 Cells
Meiosis • Each sex cell has unique, genetic information • Meiosis I: Metaphase: recombination • 1st division: daughter cells not identical to each other or to parental cells • Meiosis II: reduction (same as mitosis) ANA 151 Cells
