Cells

Body Fluid Compartments

- Intracellular fluid: 2/3 total water volume

- Extracellular fluid: 1/3 total water volume and includes:

o Interstitial fluid – lies in between circulatory system an cells – 75% of ECF

o Plasma – liquid matrix of blood – 25% of ECF

Compartments are separated by membranes

- Plasma membrane (phospholipid bilayer) in between cells

- Tissue membranes eg pericardial membrane around heart

Cells

• Are the building blocks of all plants and animals

• Come from the division of pre-existing cells - cannot be created from nothing

• The smallest units that perform all vital physiological functions

Classification of Cells

• Two general classes of cells in the human body

o Sex cells

• Aka reproductive cells, germ cells, gametes

• Sperm cells and oocytes

o Somatic cells

• All other cells

• Cells are composed of:

o Nucleus

o Cytoplasm

• Cytosol

• Membrane bound organelles

• Inclusions

• Protein fibres

o Cell membrane

Cell Membrane structure

• Lipid bilayer - phospholipids

o hydrophilic head

o Hydrophobic tails

• Number of proteins

o Integral proteins traverse the entire width of the membrane - port for ions or other

molecules to move into or out of the cell

o Receptor proteins - able to bind to signalling molecules outside the cell

o Glycoprotein

o Peripheral proteins - don’t pass through membrane but associated with other proteins -

shape and movement of cell can be stabilised

Cell membrane Proteins

Two major classes of membrane proteins

• Integral proteins

o Part of the membrane structure

o May span width of membrane 1x or more

o Aka transmembrane proteins

o >>> peripheral proteins

• Peripheral proteins

Document Summary

Extracellular fluid: 1/3 total water volume and includes: Interstitial fluid lies in between circulatory system an cells 75% of ecf: plasma liquid matrix of blood 25% of ecf. Cells: are the building blocks of all plants and animals, come from the division of pre-existing cells - cannot be created from nothing, the smallest units that perform all vital physiological functions. Classification of cells: two general classes of cells in the human body, sex cells, aka reproductive cells, germ cells, gametes. Sperm cells and oocytes: somatic cells, all other cells, cells are composed of, nucleus, cytoplasm, cytosol, membrane bound organelles, protein fibres. Lipid bilayer - phospholipids hydrophilic head: hydrophobic tails, number of proteins. Integral proteins: part of the membrane structure, may span width of membrane 1x or more, aka transmembrane proteins, >>> peripheral proteins, peripheral proteins, pound to inner or outer surface, easily removed.
