Chapter 4- Book Flashcards
(38 cards)
The restoration of tissue structure sand function after an injury
Tissue repair
Replacement of tissue with new tissue of same type
Regeneration
This type of tissue leads to fibrosis and scar formation
Connective tissue
The Body tissue and organs are composed of two types of tissue:
Parenchymal
And
Stromal
Actual cells of each organ (tissue type)
Ex: liver cells
Parenchymal
Supporting connective tissues, blood vessels, fibroblasts, nerve fibers, and extracellular matrix.
(Ex: anything in the heart that isn’t a cardiac muscle cell)
Stromal tissue
The process of increasing the # of cells of an organ or body part
Proliferation
process where a cell becomes more specialized in terms of structure and function
Cell differentiation (specialization)
Undifferentiated cells that are capable of producing many types of different cells
Stem cells
Proliferation of cells is drive by ___________
Growth factor
All different cell types in the body originate from this cell
Fertilized ovum
As a cell becomes more ______, the stimulus to induce mitosis becomes more ______
Specialized, limited.
What are the cell cycle phases (4)
G1, S, G2, M
What happens in the G1 phase of the cell cycle?
Post mitotic phase.
DNA replication stops while RNA, protein synthesis and cell growth takes place.
Increase in organelles and cytoskeletal elements in prep for DNA replication in next phase
What happens in the S phase of the cell cycle?
DNA replication, creates two separate sets of chromosomes
Each set has a ‘daughter’ chromosome that remains the stem cell (unchaged and continues to replicate)
What happens in the G2 phase of cell cycle?
DNA replication stops.
RNA and protein synthesis continues …. called the PREMITOTIC phase
Enzymes and other proteins needed for cell division are synthesized and moved to their proper sites
What happens in the M phase of cell cycle?
Nuclear divisions and mitosis occurs. Formation of mitotic spindles and cell division happens.
What is the G0 phase of the cell cycle?
When the cells exit the normal cell cycle phase and become more specialized. They can re-enter the cell cycle though under intense conditions, however a lot fo specialized cells don’t.
EX: Neurons
Proteins that control the entry and progression of cells through the cell cycle
Cyclins
Cyclins bind to a protein called:
Cyclin- dependent Kinases (CDKs)
Enzymes that phosphorylate proteins
Phorphylate means to add a phosphorous. Important in changing ADP to ATP
Kinases
Body tissues are divided into 3 different types of tissues based on their ability to regenerate
What are they?
- ) continuously dividing
- ) stable
- ) permanent tissue
When stem cells divide what happens?
1 daughter cell retains the stem cell characteristics, the other daughter cell becomes the progenitor cells and undergoes the process that leads to terminal differentiation
What are the 3 specific properties of stem cells?
- ) self-renewal- can undergo numerous mitotic divisions while maintaining undifferentiated state
- ) asymmetric replication- mitosis creates: 1 daughter cell and 1 cell that changes
- ) differential potential- potency of the cell to change state
