Physiology of cell

1. Physiology
of
Cell, Tissues,
Membranes
and
Glands

2. An Introduction to Cells
Cell Theory
Developed from Robert
Hooke’s research
Cells are the Building
Blocks of all plants and
animals
Cells are the smallest
Microscopic units that
perform all vital
physiological functions

3. Cell

5. Cell Types
Prokaryotic
Eukaryotic

6. Prokaryotic Cells Eukaryotic Cell
Bacterial cell Animal cell Plant cell

7. An Introduction to Cells
Somatic cells(soma= body)
Also known as Non-Reproductivecells.
Performs all the body functions apart from reproduction
Sex cells(germ cells)
Reproductivecells
Male sperm
Female oocyte (a cell that develops into an egg)

8. Cell Functions
Metabolism
–Use molecules for cellular functions, to make ATP and heat
Molecule synthesis
–Different cells synthesize different molecules.
Communication
–Cells produce and respond to chemical and electrical signals
Reproduction and inheritance
–Most cells have a complete copy of all of our genetic information.
This is passed down from cell to cell and from parent to child

9. An Introduction to Cells
A cell is surrounded by a watery medium known as the
extracellular fluid
Extracellular fluid = interstitial fluid + plasma +
cerebrospinal fluid + synovial fluid
The plasma membrane separates Intracellular fluid
(cytoplasm) from the Extracellular fluid (ECF)
Intracellular fluid (Cytoplasm) = cytosol + organelles
Cytosol = liquid
Organelles are intracellular structures

10. Plasma Membrane

11. Cytoplasm
Intracellular fluid (Cytoplasm) = cytosol +
organelles
Cytosol(watery matrix)
–Dissolved materials:
»nutrients, ions, proteins, and waste products
–Fluids
Organelles = “little organs”
–Structures with specific functions

12. Organelles
Nonmembranous organelles
No membrane
Direct contact with cytosol
Includes the cytoskeleton, microvilli, centrioles, cilia,
ribosomes.
Membranous organelles
Covered with plasma membrane
Isolated from cytosol
Includes the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the
Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, and
mitochondria

13. Nonmembranous Organelles

shape and strength
Microfilaments
Intermediate filaments
Microtubules

15. Figure 3.16

16. Nonmembranous Organelles
Microfilaments—thin filaments
composed of the protein actin

muscle movement

17. Nonmembranous Organelles
Intermediate filaments—mid-sized
between microfilaments and thick filaments
Durable (collagen)
Strengthen cell and maintain shape
Stabilize organelles
Stabilize cell position

18. Nonmembranous Organelles
Microtubules—large, hollow tubes of
tubulinprotein
Strengthen cell and anchor organelles
Change cell shape
During cellular division they form the spindle
apparatus that attaches to chromosomes to
pull them to opposite ends of the dividing cell

19. Cellular Extensions
Microvilli
Cilia
Flagella

20. Microvilli
Microvilli
Extension of the cell to
increase surface area of
the cell
Found in brush border of
small intestine,
stereocilia of ear, WBC,
and oocyte.

21. Cilia
Cilia
Small, whip-like, motile
extensions of the cell
surface
Ciliary movement move
fluids across the cell
surface
Found in bronchioles
and fallopian tubes

22. Flagella
Flagella
Tail of sperm that consists of microtubules

23. Centrioles
Pairs of microtubular structures
Play a role in cell division

24. Nonmembranous Organelles
Ribosomes
Composed of two subunits containing = protein + RNA
Made in nucleus and shipped to cytoplasm
Build polypeptides in protein synthesis
Two types
Free ribosomesin cytoplasm:
–manufacture proteins for cell
Fixed ribosomesattached to ER:
–manufacture proteins for cell membrane, lysosomes, or secretion

5.Mitochondria (double membrane)

27. Largest Organelle
Nucleus (stained yellow)

28. Nucleus
Houses the DNA
Serves as the “Control Center of the Cell”
Surrounded by two membranes, together called
the nuclear envelope
The nuclear envelope is studded with nuclear pores.
Nuclear pores regulate traffic into and out of the
nucleus.
Membranous Organelles

29. Inside the nucleus:
Chromatin –composed of DNA + proteins
Nucleolus –site of ribosome manufacture
Nucleoplasm–fluid inside the nucleus
Membranous Organelles

30. Membranous Organelles
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Continuous with outer nuclear envelope
Has cisternae are storage chambers within
membranes
Functions
Synthesisof proteins, carbohydrates, cholesterol and lipids
Storageof synthesized molecules and materials
Transportof materials within the ER, to Golgi Apparatus, and
extracellularly
Detoxificationof drugs or toxins

31. Rough and
Smooth ER

32. Membranous Organelles
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
No ribosomes attached
Synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates:
Metabolizes lipids and breaks down glycogen glucose
Absorbs, synthesizes and transports lipids
Detoxifies drugs, pesticides and carcinogens (liver/ kidney)
Modified SER in skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle for
storage of Ca

33. Membranous Organelles
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
Surface covered with ribosomes:
active in protein and glycoprotein synthesis
folds polypeptides protein structures
encloses products in vesicles that go to Golgi apparatus

34. Membranous Organelles
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.

35. Golgi Apparatus
A stack of membranous sacs
Vesiclespinch off from the ER to fuse with the
Golgi apparatus and empty their digestive
enzyme, protein or lipid contents.
The lipids and proteins are then modified, sorted,
and sent to their appropriate destination in new
vesicles that bud off from the Golgi apparatus.
Called as Packaging and Shipping Station of the
cell
