3 Main Parts
1. PLASMA MEMBRANE
2. CYTOPLASM
3. NUCLEUS
Page 10
1. Plasma Membranesyn: plasmalemma, cell membrane- outer covering of the cell- surrounds each cell separate its contents from external environment- regulates what enters & leaves the cell- allows communication
Page 11
Plasma Membranesome, cholesterol and glycolipidsLIPID BILAYER + integral and
peripheral proteinsSELECTIVE PERMEABILITY
◦- water & nonpolar (lipid-soluble) molecules e.g. FA, fat-soluble vit., steroids, O2, CO2
mainly made up of phospholipids and proteins (latter, mainly glycoproteins)

Definition of Terms
•Intracellular fluid (ICF) – inside body cells i.e. fluid in cytoplasm, 2/3 of body fluid
•Extracellular fluid (ECF) – fluid outside body cells
•Interstitial fluid – the ECF between cells ▫ e.g. plasma (in blood vessels), lymph (in lymphatic vessels)
** materials dissolved in body fluids: gases, nutrients, ions, etc.
Page 16
Definition of Terms
• Solute – any material dissolved in a fluid• Solvent – fluid in w/c the solute is dissolved e.g. water• Solution – homogenous mixture of 2 or more components (e.g. air, seawater, alcohol)
Page 17
Definition of Terms
• CONCENTRATION – the amount of a solute in a solution• CONCENTRATION GRADIENT – difference in concentration between 2 different areas
– moving down vs. moving up
Page 18
Substances move across cellular membranes by:
•PASSIVE PROCESSES – substance moves down its concentration gradient using only its own energy of motion (kinetic energy)• SIMPLE DIFFUSION, OSMOSIS
•ACTIVE PROCESSES – cellular energy (e.g. ATP) is used to push the substance through the membrane against its concentration gradient• ACTIVE TRANSPORT, VESICLES
Page 19
Passive Processes
1. DIFFUSION – a substance moves from one place to another due to the substance's kinetic energy
• particles move from a region of higher to lower concentration • endpoint: EQUILIBRIUM – substance is evenly distributed throughout the solution and the concentration gradient disappears • may or may not involve a membrane
Page 20
Diffusion
Page 21
2 Types of Diffusion
1. SIMPLE DIFFUSION • lipid-soluble substances diffuse through the lipid bilayer e.g. O2, CO2, N, f.a., steroids, vit. ADEK, H2O, urea• used in: exchange of gases, absorption of nutrients, release of wastes
Page 22
Simple Diffusion
Page 23
2 Types of Diffusion
1. SIMPLE DIFFUSION • Ion channels – allow a specific type of ion to move across the membrane through the channel's pore• e.g. K, Cl, Na, Ca
Page 24
Page 25
2 Types of Diffusion
2. FACILITATED DIFFUSION • an integral membrane protein assists a specific substance across the membrane• substance binds to a specific TRANSPORTER on one side of the membrane --> released on the other side after the transporter undergoes a change in shape• movement along a conc. gradient, NO ATP needed• e.g. glucose, fructose, galactose
Page 26
Page 27
Passive Processes2. OSMOSIS = net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane
- water moves from an area of higher water to an area of lower water concentration
- or, from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration
OSMOTIC PRESSURE – depends on the concentration of its solute particles
- the higher the solute conc., the higher the osmotic pressure
Page 28
Osmosis
Page 29
EFFECT of OSMOSIS in CELLS
ISOTONIC = any solution in w/c cells maintain their normal shape and volume, concentrations of solutes are same on both sides
= tissue fluids, blood plasma, 0.9% NSS, 5% dextrose (glucose)
HYPOTONIC = lower concentration of solutes (higher conc. of H2O) than the cytosol inside the cell = cell swells --> ruptures
HYPERTONIC = higher concentration of solutes (lower conc. of water) than the cytosol inside the cell
= cell shrinks
Effects of Osmosis
Page 31
Passive Processes
3. FILTRATION = process by w/c H2O and solutes are forced through a membrane (or capillary wall) by fluid or hydrostatic pressure (pressure gradient)
e.g. filtering capacity of the kidney (e.g. in urine formation)
Page 32
Active Processes1. ACTIVE TRANSPORT - cellular energy is used to transport substances across the membrane against a concentration gradient (from an area of low to an area of high concentration), needs ATP
- splitting of ATP changes the shape of a transporter protein (PUMP) --> moves a substance across the membrane against its conc. gradient
- Na, K, H, Ca, I, Cl
Page 33
Active Transport
Page 34
Active Processes2. TRANSPORT IN VESICLES
- VESICLE – small round sac formed by budding off from an existing membrane
- transport substances, take in and release substances
- requires energy (ATP)
Page 35
2 Types of Transport in Vesicles
1. ENDOCYTOSIS – materials move into a cell in a vesicle formed from the plasma membrane - substances are surrounded by a piece of the plasma membrane w/c buds off inside the cell to form a vesicle containing the ingested substances.
Page 36
2 Types of Endocytosis
1. PHAGOCYTOSIS – large solid particles (e.g. bacteria, viruses, aged or dead cells), are taken in by the cell
- fuses w/ a lysosome --> break down of material
- e.g. WBCs, macrophages
Page 37
2 Types of Endocytosis
2. BULK-PHASE ENDOCYTOSIS (PINOCYTOSIS) – cells take up tiny droplets of ECF
- fuses with a lysosome --> enzymatic breakdown of engulfed solutes
Page 38
2 Types of Transport in Vesicles
2. EXOCYTOSIS – results in secretion (release of materials from a cell)a. SECRETORY CELLS – release digestive enzymes, hormones, mucus, etc.b. NERVE CELLS – during release of neurotransmitters
* membrane-enclosed secretory vesicles form inside the cell, fuse w/ the cell membrane, and release contents into the ECF

Specializations of the Plasma Membrane
•Microvilli•Membrane junctions
Page 42
Membrane Junctions1. TIGHT JUNCTIONS = formed from
fusion of adjacent cell membrane --> impermeable or leak-proof sheets
= keep digestive juices & harmful substances from damaging the organs or getting into the bloodstream
2. DESMOSOMES = anchoring junctions (button-like thickenings), prevent cells under mechanical stress from being pulled apart e.g. skin
3. GAP JUNCTIONS = allows communication e.g. heart, nervous system
Page 43
2. Cytoplasm• consists of all cellular contents bet. the cell
membrane and nucleus
• Includes: ▫CYTOSOL (ICF) – fluid portion of the
cytoplasm, 55% of total cell volume, 75-90% H2O, site of chemical reactions
▫ORGANELLES – specialized structures inside cells w/ specific functions
Page 44
1. Cytoskeleton•network of 3 different types of protein filaments1. MICROFILAMENTS – thinnest, concentrated at
the periphery --> strength and shape- provides mechanical support and generates movement- anchor cytoskeleton to integral proteins- support for microvilli- intercellular attachment
Page 45
1. Cytoskeleton2. INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS – found in parts
of cells subject to tension (stretching), hold organelles in place, intercellular attachment
3. MICROTUBULES – long, hollow tubes, determines cell shape, movement of organelles w/in the cell, migration of chromosomes during cell division, movement of cilia and flagella
Page 46
Page 47
2. Centrosome• found near the
nucleus• Includes:1. Centrioles (paired) –
composed of microtubules
2. Pericentriolar material – composed of tubulins, organizing centers for growth of the mitotic spindle (role in cell division)
Page 48
3. Cilia and Flagella
1. CILIA – short, hairlike projections extending from the surface of the cell• propel fluids across surfaces of cells
2. FLAGELLA - move an entire cell
Page 49
4. Ribosomes•Tiny, round, dark
bodies•Actual site of protein
production•high rRNA content
• Free ribosomes• attached to RER
Page 50
5. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)• network of folded membranes • 2 Types• Rough ER – extends from the nuclear envelope,
studded w/ ribosomes, synthesis of secretory proteins and membrane molecules
• Smooth ER – extends from the RER --> network of membranous tubules, lacks ribosomes, f.a. & steroids (e.g. estrogen, testosterone) are produced, detoxification (e.g. alc, pesticides, carcinogens)

Page 60
3. Nucleus
•GENES – hereditary units• direct cellular activities • arranged along chromosomes
• 46 chromosomes (23/parent)• in a nondividing cell, chromosomes appear as diffuse granular mass --> CHROMATIN
•GENOME – total genetic information carried in a cell or organism •
Page 61
Page 62
Page 63
Page 64
Protein Synthesis• DNA found in genes gives
instructions for making proteins1. Transcription – DNA is copied -->
RNA2. Translation – information in RNA
(attached to a ribosome) is translated into a sequence of a.a. --> protein molecule
Page 65
Transcription• occurs in the nucleus• genetic info in DNA base triplets is
copied into complementary sequence of CODONS in a strand of RNA (helped by RNA polymerase)
• PROMOTER – sequence of nucleotides in DNA where RNA polymerase attaches to
• TERMINATOR – sequence of nucleotides in DNA where transcription ends
Page 66
3 Kinds of RNA
1. Messenger RNA (mRNA) – directs synthesis of a protein
2. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) – joins w/ ribosomal proteins to make ribosomes
3. Transfer RNA (tRNA) – binds to an a.a. and holds it in place on a ribosome until it becomes part of a protein during translation
Page 67
Base pairing
Page 68
Translation
• mRNA attaches to ribosomes and directs protein synthesis by converting sequence of nucleotides (CODON) into a specific sequence of a.a. --> PROTEIN
• tRNA contains the triplet of nucleotides called ANTICODON
• Protein synthesis ends when ribosome reaches a STOP CODON
• 15 a.a./second

Somatic Cell Division•process by which damaged, diseased or
worn out cells are replaced
•process by which cells reproduce themselves
Page 71
2 Types of Cell Division1. REPRODUCTIVE CELL DIVISION
(MEIOSIS)- the process that produces gametes
(sperm & oocytes)
2. SOMATIC CELL DIVISION- division of all body cells (except
gametes) --> two identical cells•
Page 72
Prerequisite of somatic cell division: DNA Replication
•DNA – building blocks “nucleotides”
▫Deoxyribose sugar▫Phosphate group ▫Nitrogen-containing
base
Page 73
• duplication of the DNA sequences that make up the genes and chromosomes --> daughter cells w/ same genes and same number of chromosomes
Prerequisite of somatic cell division: DNA Replication
Page 74
DNA Replication
Page 75
Cell Cycle
• sequence of changes that a cell undergoes from the time it forms until it duplicates its contents and divides into two cells
• 2 MAJOR PERIODS1. INTERPHASE – cell is not dividing2. MITOTIC PHASE – cell is dividing
Page 76
Interphase
• DNA replication occurs• manufactures organelles and cytosolic
components• increased metabolic activity• cell is growing
Page 77
Mitotic Phase
• consists of:• MITOSIS – nuclear division• CYTOKINESIS – cytoplasmic division into
2 cells
Page 78
Mitosis• PROPHASE = chromatin coil and shorten
chromosomes, bar-like bodies▫Chromosome = 2 strands of chromatids, held together
by a buttonlike body, centromere
Page 79
MitosisSTAGES:• METAPHASE – chromosomes cluster and align at the center (metaphase plate)
Page 80
MitosisSTAGES:• ANAPHASE – movement of chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell
Page 81
MitosisSTAGES:• TELOPHASE – chromosomes uncoil and become chromatin again, nuclear envelope forms around each chromatin mass
Page 82
Cytokinesis
• division of a cell's cytoplasm and organelles• formation of cleavage furrow that extends
around the center of the cell• endpoint: 2 new and separate cells
