Explain how cells are connected to form tissues and Cellular receptors such as protein molecules on the plasma membrane,
organs? cytoplasm, or nucleus. Proteins that bind with ligands must fit together. The
plasma membrane receptors: Determine with which ligands a cell will bind.
Determine how the cell will respond to the binding. Ligand-receptor complex
initiates interactions causing adenylyl cyclase to transform adenosine
triphosphate (ATP) to messenger molecules that stimulate specific response in
the cell. This will allow cells to form tissues and organs.

Describe the different types of tissues and their functions. Epithelial- covers most of the internal and external body surfaces, simple,
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Neural. stratified, squamous, cuboidal, columnar, pseudo stratified. The structures are
Cilia and microvilli. Functions- protection, absorption, secretion, and excretion.
Connective- serve as the ground substance, the fibers are collagenous (white),
elastic (yellow), and reticular. There are loose and dense connective tissue
examples are cartilage, bone, vascular, adipose, and organs. Functions- They are
the framework for forming organs, binding, supporting, and storing excess
nutrients.
Muscle Tissue- are composed of myocytes, examples are smooth, skeletal,
cardiac. Functions- contractile tissue, enabling both voluntary and involuntary
movement.
Neural Tissue- Structure: Neurons, synapses, cell body, axons, and dendrites.
Functions: Receive and transmit electrical impulses very rapidly across junctions
called synapses such as Neurotransmitters.


Mitochondria within the cells are responsible for: a. Cellular respiration and energy production via metabolism of carbohydrates,
lipids, and amino acids.


The process of catabolism involves three phases in which b. Digestion, glycolysis, and Krebs cycle.

indicated she had hormonal hyperplasia. Her current Pap lined up in just the 2 layers of cells. By looking under the microscope some of the
smear indicates she has atypical hyperplasia or dysplasia. growth looks more abnormal.
What is the difference between these? Dysplasia- is a term used in pathology to refer to an abnormality in maturation of
cells within a tissue. This generally consists of an expansion of immature cells, with
a corresponding decrease in the number and location of mature cells.
Dysplasia is often indicative of an early neoplastic process. Example is Epithelial
dysplasia of the cervix (from an abnormal pap smear) consists of an increased
population of immature (basal-like) cells which are restricted to the mucosal
surface, and have not invaded through the basement membrane to the deeper
soft tissues.
