Ch 3 cells and tissues
- 1. Cells and Tissues Made by: Rabia Mehmood
- 2. 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
- 3. 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
- 4. The Nucleus • Control center of the cell – Contains genetic material (DNA) • Three regions – Nuclear membrane – Nucleolus – Chromatin Figure 3.1b
- 5. 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
- 6. Nucleoli • Nucleus contains one or more nucleoli • Sites of ribosome production – Ribosomes then migrate to the cytoplasm through nuclear pores
- 7. Chromatin • Composed of DNA and protein • Scattered throughout the nucleus • Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes when the cell divides
- 8. Plasma Membrane • Barrier for cell contents • Double phospholipid layer – Hydrophilic heads – Hydrophobic tails • Also contains protein, cholesterol, and glycoproteins
- 10. Plasma Membrane Specializations • Microvilli – Finger-like projections that increase surface area for absorption Figure 3.3
- 11. Plasma Membrane Specializations • Membrane junctions – Tight junctions – Desmosomes – Gap junctions Figure 3.3
- 12. 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
- 14. 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
- 15. 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
- 16. Cytoplasmic Organelles • Golgi apparatus – Modifies and packages proteins – Produces different types of packages • Secretory vesicles • Cell membrane components • Lysosomes
- 18. 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
- 19. 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
- 20. Cytoplasmic Organelles • Cytoskeleton – Network of protein structures that extend throughout the cytoplasm – Provides the cell with an internal framework Figure 3.7a
- 21. Cytoplasmic Organelles • Cytoskeleton – Three different types • Microfilaments • Intermediate filaments • Microtubules Figure 3.7b–d
- 22. Cytoplasmic Organelles • Centrioles – Rod-shaped bodies made of microtubules – Direct formation of mitotic spindle during cell division
- 23. Cellular Projections • Not found in all cells • Used for movement – Cilia moves materials across the cell surface – Flagellum propels the cell
- 28. 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
- 29. 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
- 30. Selective Permeability • The plasma membrane allows some materials to pass while excluding others • This permeability includes movement into and out of the cell
- 31. 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
- 32. Passive Transport Processes • Types of diffusion – Simple diffusion • Unassisted process • Solutes are lipid-soluble materials or small enough to pass through membrane pores
- 33. Passive Transport Processes • Types of diffusion – Osmosis – simple diffusion of water • Highly polar water easily crosses the plasma membrane – Facilitated diffusion • Substances require a protein carrier for passive transport
- 34. Diffusion through the Plasma Membrane
- 35. 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
- 36. 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 – chemical exchanges – Bulk transport - exocytosis
- 37. Active Transport Processes -Solute pumping- Figure 3.11
- 39. Endocytosis Figure 3.13a Extracellular - engulfs substances by enclosing in a membranous vescicle 2 types 1. Phagocytosis – cell eating 2. Pinocytosis – cell drinking
- 40. 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
- 41. 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
- 42. 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
- 43. 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
- 44. Stages of Mitosis • Metaphase – Spindle from centromeres are attached to chromosomes that are aligned in the center of the cell
- 45. 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
- 46. Stages of Mitosis Figure 3.15
- 47. Stages of Mitosis Figure 3.15(cont)
- 48. 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
- 49. Body Tissues • Cells are specialized for particular functions • Tissues – Groups of cells with similar structure and function – Four primary types • Epithelium • Connective tissue • Nervous tissue • Muscle
- 50. Epithelial Tissues • Found in different areas – Body coverings – Body linings – Glandular tissue • Functions – Protection – Absorption – Filtration – Secretion
- 51. Classification of Epithelium • Number of cell layers – Simple – one layer – Stratified – more than one layer Figure 3.17a
- 52. Classification of Epithelium • Shape of cells – Squamous – flattened – Cuboidal – cube- shaped – Columnar – column- like Figure 3.17b

- 56. Simple Epithelium • Pseudostratified – Single layer, but some cells are shorter than others – Often looks like a double cell layer – Sometimes ciliated, such as in the respiratory tract – May function in absorption or secretion Figure 3.18d
- 57. Connective Tissue • Found everywhere in the body • Includes the most abundant and widely distributed tissues • Functions – Binds body tissues together – Supports the body – Provides protection
- 58. Connective Tissue Characteristics • Variations in blood supply – Some tissue types are well vascularized – Some have poor blood supply or are avascular • Extracellular matrix – Non-living material that surrounds living cells
- 59. Connective Tissue Types • Bone (osseous tissue) – Composed of: • Bone cells in lacunae (cavities) • Hard matrix of calcium salts • Large numbers of collagen fibers – Used to protect and support the body Figure 3.19a
