Document Summary
Cell consists of protoplasm (cytoplasm + nucleoplasm) with structural components called organelles. Impart shape and structure to the cell as well as organization within tissues. Important in cell reproduction: flagellae and cilia, some cells have cytoplasmic projections covered by the cell membrane for movement, ex. It contains large amounts of dna, which control protein synthesis and reproduce themselves via mitosis. It is concerned with protein synthesis and is very prominent at times of cellular activity. *intracellular structures are particularly vulnerable to disease processes including: Integrity of the cell membrane: aerobic respiration (energy production, metabolic processes, genetic apparatus. The cell is the basic unit of the body and is arranged in groups termed tissues. Tissues are arranged to compose organs (identified by the eye). Includes those that comprise the immune systems, inflammatory cells and the blood. Within an organ, the functional cells of the organ are termed the parenchymal cells.
