NSG 5003 Advanced Pathophysiology (South University)
UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers
Differentiation (maturation) process in which cells become specialized in structure and function
, The eight specialized cellular functions are movement, conductivity, metabolic absorption, secretion, excretion, respiration,
reproduction, communication
Eukaryotic cells Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by membranes.
The eukaryotic cell consists of three general components plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and intracellular organelles
Nucleus A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and
reproduction
Vaults cytoplasmic organelles that are carrying messengers of ribonucleic acid (mRNA)
from the nucleus to the ribosomal sites of protein synthesis
plasma membrane (cell membrane) It's function is to protect the cell and control what goes in and out. It is not a solid
structure. It is made of millions of smaller molecules so it is flexible and porous
(allows things to pass through it).
cellular receptors protein molecules on the plasma membrane, in the cytoplasm, or in the nucleus
that can recognize and bind with specific smaller molecules called ligands
Ligands A molecule that binds specifically to a receptor site of another molecule.
Cells are held together by three different means: (1) the extracellular membrane, (2) cell adhesion molecules in the cell's plasma
membrane, and (3) specialized cell junctions.
Cells communicate in three main ways (1) they form protein channels (gap junctions); (2)
they display receptors that affect intracellular processes or other cells in direct
physical
contact; and (3) they use receptor proteins inside the target cell.
reception The target cell's detection of a signal molecule coming from outside the cell.
Transduction conversion of one form of energy into another
