Cells take in and use nutrients and other substances from their surroundings
Cells of intestine and kidney are specialized to carry out absorption
Cells of kidney tubules reabsorb fluids and synthesize proteins
Cells of epithelial in the intestine reabsorb fluids and synthesize protein
enzymes
3. During cell injury what is released that is capable of cellular auto digestion?
(7)
Lysosomes are the cell component that is capable of cellular autodigestion
when it is released during cell injury
Disruption of the lysosomal membrane by injury or different treatments leads
to a release of the lysosomal enzymes, which then react with their specific
substrates, causing cellular autodigestion.
Lysosomes are sac-like structures that originate from the Golgi Complex
They function as the intracellular digestive system
Lysosome enzymes- capable of digesting most cellular elements completely
to their basic components (ex: amino acids, fatty acids, carbs)
Lysosomal storage diseases- result of a genetic defect or lack of lysosomal
enzymes (ex: Pompe disease, Tay-Sachs, Gout)
21. Know all about lead poisoning. How does it cause damage within the cell?
Lead causes damage within the cell by interfering with the action of calcium
Nerves and blood-forming organs are affected by lead consumption
Lead poisoning affects the nervous system by interfering with the function of
neurotransmitters.
