What are ribosomes? - Answer-RNA-protein complexes
(nucleoproteins) that are synthesized in the nucleolus and
secreted into the cytoplasm through pores in the nuclear
envelope called nuclear pore complexes (NPCs)
Where can ribosomes be found? - Answer-cytoplasm and
rough ER
what are ribosomes chief function? - Answer-provides sits
for cellular protein synthesis
What is the Golgi apparatus (complex)? - Answer-a
network of flatten, smooth membranes and vesicles
frequently located near the nucleus of the cell
What does the Golgi apparatus do? - Answer-takes
proteins from the ER and processes/packages them into
,2|Page
small membrane-bound vesicles called "secretory
vesicles, and refines and directs traffic in the cell
What are lysosomes and what do they do? - Answer-
maintain cellular health by removal of toxic cellular
components, removal of useless organelles, termination of
signal transduction, and signals cellular adaption
How does aging affect lysosomes? - Answer-leads to
progressive loss of lysosomal efficiency which declines the
regenerative capacity of organs and tissue
What functions do lysosomal components integrate? -
Answer-nutrient abundance, energy levels, and cell
stressors and will translate them into instructions that
regulate cellular metabolism toward either proliferation or
inactivity
What is mitochondria responsible for? - Answer-cellular
respiration, cellular metabolism , and energy production
What does the inner membrane of mitochondria contain? -
Answer-enzymes of the respiratory chain and are
,3|Page
essential to the process of oxidative phosphorylation that
generates most of the cell's ATP
The mitochondrial matrix contains what kind of pathways
(1), involve what two things (2), and metabolizes what
three things (3)? - Answer-1- metabolic
2- urea and heme synthesis
3- carbs, proteins, and lipids
What can accumulate intracellularly caused by stresses
form metabolic dearangements? - Answer-carbs, proteins,
and lipids
What is physiologic atrophy? - Answer-occurs in early
development. ex: thymus glad during childhood
What is pathologic atrophy? - Answer-occurs as a result of
decreases in workload, use, pressure, blood supply,
nutrition, and hormonal stimulation.
Ex: Shrinking of gonads in an adolescent pt in response to
decreased hormonal stimulation. and an pt immobilized in
bed for a prolonged time
, 4|Page
what is hypertrophy? - Answer-increase in cell size
Example of beneficial physiologic hypertrophy? - Answer-
hypertrophy of myocardial cells from endurance training
example of pathologic hypertrophy - Answer-cardiomegaly
in a hypertensive patient
What is hyperplasia? - Answer-increase in the number of
cells
example of compensatory hyperplasia? - Answer-
regeneration of the liver
example of pathological hyperplasia - Answer-endometrial
tissue
example of hormonal hyperplasia - Answer-enlargement of
the uterus during pregnancy
What is metaplasia? - Answer-replacement of the cells
