CELLS: The Dog Stole the Professor’s Notes

By Carson Robertson DC

A quick review of cell structure and function with definitions, terms, core concepts and questions. Alpha Dog’s Stolen notes provide a great opportunity to quickly prepare for class ahead of time, learn more during lecture, and improve your grade.

The notes also provide questions to guide and check learning along the way. Reading and reviewing these notes will speed and enhance your learning, find holes in your knowledge, and provide an additional perspective on the subject. If you can’t save study time, energy, and get your money’s worth from the professor's notes then it is time to switch majors.

Additional links to videos and resources are provided, the same ones the professor uses in his classroom.

Topics include cell structure, organelles, organelles function, types of transport across the membrane, cell cycle, cell division, and cell death.

Cell Structure Review - Quick Review Notes Chapter 3

Introduction

The human body consists of 75 trillion cells that look and act very different. Nerve cells look and act different than skin cells. Differences in cell shape make different functions possible. (Nerve vs. Skin)

Example of a Typical Cell

A cell consists of three main parts: the nucleus, the cytoplasm and the cell membrane. The cytoplasm is the fluid that the organelles are contained in. The fluidity of the cytoplasm allows for movement of organelles, cell products and other cellular transport. Organelles are specialized cells that perform a specialized function.

Cell Membrane is the barrier that separates the outside from the inside. The cell membrane communicates with neighboring cells and tissue because of complex adaptations on the outside of the cell membrane. It controls what can pass through the
