Cell Theory The microscopes we use today are far more complex than those used in the 1600s by Antony van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch shopkeeper who had great skill in crafting lenses. Despite the limitations of his now-ancient lenses, van Leeuwenhoek observed the movements of protista (a type of single-celled organism) and sperm, which he collectively termed “animalcules. ” In a 1665 publication called Micrographia, experimental scientist Robert Hooke coined the term “cell” for the box-like structures he observed when viewing cork tissue through a lens. In the 1670s, van Leeuwenhoek discovered bacteria and protozoa. Later advances in lenses, microscope construction, and staining techniques enabled other scientists to see some components inside cells. image Figure 4.3.1 : Structure of an Animal Cell: The cell is the basic unit of life and the study of the cell led to the development of the cell theory. By the late 1830s, botanist Matthias Schleiden and zoologist Theodor Schwann were studying tissues and proposed the unified cell theory. The unified cell theory states that: all living things are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of life; and new cells arise from existing cells. Rudolf Virchow later made important contributions to this theory. Schleiden and Schwann proposed spontaneous generation as the method for cell origination, but spontaneous generation (also called abiogenesis) was later disproven. Rudolf Virchow famously stated “Omnis cellula e cellula”… “All cells only arise from pre-existing cells. “The parts of the theory that did not have to do with the origin of cells, however, held up to scientific scrutiny and are widely agreed upon by the scientific community today. The generally accepted portions of the modern Cell Theory are as follows: The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in living things. All organisms are made up of one or more cells. Cells arise from other cells through cellular division. The expanded version of the cell theory can also include: Cells carry genetic material passed to daughter cells during cellular division All cells are essentially the same in chemical composition Energy flow (metabolism and biochemistry) occurs within cells

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in reproductive cells. This process results in the formation of four daughter cells, each with half the number of genetic material, meaning they are haploid. Each of these cells is called a gamete or sex cell. Meiosis is crucial for the formation of gametes and involves two divisions that occur through five stages: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in somatic cells.This process results in the formation of two daughter cells, each with a complete set of genetic material, meaning they are diploid. Mitosis is crucial for several biological processes, including growth, the repair of damaged cells, and asexual reproduction. It involves a single division that occurs through five stages: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

LAYERS (STRATA) OF THE EPIDERMIS Stratum Basale Single layer - cuboidal or columnar Mitotic stem cells Contain keratin filaments - as cells progress upwards, the amount and type of keratin filaments increase Basal cell carcinoma (rarely lethal) found here. Stratum Spinosum (usually the thickest) Polyhedral cells with central nucleus Synthesize keratin filaments which form bundles called tonofibrils; extend into spines Cells bound together by cytoplasmic spines (and desmosomes) - maintain cohesion and resist effects of abrasion Mitotic stem cells in deepest layer Squamous cell carcinoma develops here. Also, rarely lethal. ** stratum germinativum- sometimes reference for the basale layer and deepest layer of spinosum together actively dividing to provide new cells to replenish lost skin from normal shedding. stratum Granulosum -undergoes keratinization 3-5 layers of flattened cells Cells filled with coarse basophilic keratohyaline granules (filaggrin) Help pack keratin filaments together into larger structures Characteristic feature: Cells filled with lamellar granules Granules release contents (lipid) into intercellular space which envelop the cells Acts as a barrier against water loss from the skin Both types of granules create a seal (barrier) against foreign materials Cells begin process of apoptosis Transition area between deeper layers of metabolically active cells and dead cells of superficial layers

Blood Grouping: Injury or surgery can lead to a blood transfusion. Transfusion reactions/Agglutination: clumping of blood cells (bad). Antigens: molecules on surface of erythrocytes. Antibodies: proteins in plasma that bind to specific antigens. Blood groups: named according to antigen (ABO). ABO Blood Groups • In the ABO blood group system, there are two types of antigens that may appear on the surface of the red blood cells, type A antigen and type B antigen. • Type A blood has type A antigens, type B blood has type B antigens, and type AB blood has both types of antigens. • Type O blood has neither A nor B antigens. • The types of antigens found on the surface of the red blood cells are genetically determined. • Antibodies against the antigens are usually present in the plasma of blood. • Plasma from type A blood contains anti-B antibodies, which act against type B antigens; plasma from type B blood contains anti-A antibodies, which act against type A antigens. • Type AB blood plasma has neither type of antibody, and type O blood plasma has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies. • In Caucasians in the United States, the distribution is type O, 47%; type A, 41%; type B, 9%; and type AB, 3%. • Among African-Americans, the distribution is type O, 46%; type A, 27%; type B, 20%; and type AB, 7%.
