Cell
Human Genome
Chromosomes (2N = 46)
Each cell has 46 chromosomes
Form 23 homologous pairs
Each parent contributes = 23
Autosomes = 44
Sex chromosomes = 2
(Male = XY, Female = XX)
Each autosome of a homologous pair look alike
But each sex chromosome do not look alike

MeiosisTakes place only in testes and ovaries
Is a reductional division
Main purpose is to reduce the number of chromosomes from 2N to 1N in sperms & eggs
(Chromosomes of each homologous pair will separate from each other)
Homologous pair = 1 chromosome from each parent (at fertilization)
2N = 46 chromosomes (2 sets)
1N = 23 chromosomes (1set)So
Sperm = 1N chromosomes (23)
Egg = 1N chromosomes (23)
Fertilization restores chromosome number again to 2N = 46 chromosomes (2 sets)

Ground SubstanceProteoglycans:
They are made up of a core protein to which glycosoaminoglycans (GAGs) are attached. GAGs are polysacharides that contain aminosugars.GAGs-Chondroitin sulphate, Dermatan sulphate, Keratan sulphate & Heparin sulphate.Hyaluronic acid is a GAG but do not form proteoglycans.Matrix viscosity and rigidity are determined by the amount and types of GAGs, their association with the core protein to form proteoglycans, GAG-fiber association, and GAG-GAG associations.
Glycoproteins:Fibronectin-mediates the attachment of cells to the extracellular matrix.Laminin-a component of basal laminae that mediates the attachment of epithelial cells.

Elastic Connective tissue
Elastic fibers consist of an amorphous protein called elastin and numerous protein microfibrils embedded in it.Diameter range 0.1-10um.Elastic fibers are collected in thick, wavy, parallel bundles & seperated by loose collagenous tissue with fibroblasts.Ground substance is sparse.Elastic connective tissue provides flexible support.Predominates in the ligamentum flava of the vertebral column & the suspensory ligament of the penis.
![Page 52: INTRODUCTION TO CELLS & TISSUES By Vijay Kapal](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ae8550346895dc8ab0a/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Reticular Connective TissueThese fibers look very similar to collagen but are thinner than them (0.1-1.5um).More highly glycosylated.Form delicate silver-staining network instead of thick bundles.Composed mainly of type III collagen and some glycoprotein.These fibers are covered by long processes of the reticular cells.There is very little ground substance.Reticular connective tissue supports motile cells & filters body fluids.It is found mainly in hematopoietic tissue (bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes).

Neuron (Cell body)• Cell Body:-It is also called soma or perikaryon-It is the synthetic & trophic center of cell -It can receive signals from axons of other neurons through synaptic contacts on its cell membrane and relay them to its axon-Nucleus usually large, central, spherical and euchromatic-Nucleus with prominent nucleolus-Cytoplasm contains many organelles like mitochondia, lysosomes etc.-Cytoplasm has abundant free polyribosomes & rough endoplasmic reticulum, appears as basophilic purplish-blue clumps called Nissl bodies-Well developed Golgi to pack & often glycosylates neurotransmitters in neurosecretory, or synaptic vesicles-Abundant neurotubules (microtubules) & neurofilaments (intermediate filaments) in soma, dendrites & axon
![Page 80: INTRODUCTION TO CELLS & TISSUES By Vijay Kapal](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ae8550346895dc8ab0a/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Neuron (Dendrites)• Dendrites:
-Extensions of cell body, specialized to increase the surface area for incoming signals-Synaptic contacts are made on them-Some synaptic sites on them look like sharp projections called dendritic spines gemmules-Proximal ends has some Nissl bodies
![Page 81: INTRODUCTION TO CELLS & TISSUES By Vijay Kapal](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ae8550346895dc8ab0a/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Neuron (Axon)• Axon:
-One axon per neuron, its cytoplasm called axoplasm & its plasma membrane, the axolemma.-A complex cell process (uniform diameter) carries impulses away from the soma.-The part of the cell body where axon exits the soma is called the axon hillock and it lacks Nissl bodies.-Axon can be myelinated or unmyelinated.-Myelin sheath in CNS is provided by the oligodendrocyte , while in PNS by the Schwann cell-Axon diameter & myelin thickness determines the speed of nerve impulse. Internode (Myelin –covered) & Node (without myelin) -Some axons have branches called collaterals.-Terminal branching of axon is called terminal arborization.-Each branch ends as a bulb-like sac called terminal bouton, each bouton contains many mitochondria & neurosecretory vesicles. Specialized region of plasma membrane of bouton that take part in the formation of synapse is called as presynaptic membrane.

Synapses (Chemical)Synapses are specialized junctions by which a stimulus is transmitted from a neuron to its target cell.1. Presynaptic Membrane:This is part of plasma membrane of terminal bouton.2. Synaptic Cleft:Fluid-filled space between pre and post synaptic membranes.3. Postsynaptic Membrane:This is part of plasma membrane of the target cell. It is thickerthan presynaptic membrane due to the presence of receptors forneurotransmitters. When enough receptors are occupied, hydrophilic channels open, resulting in depolarization of thepostsynaptic membrane. Neurontransmitter like acetylcholinethat remains in the synaptic cleft is degraded by acetylcholinesterase.This removal of extra acetylcholine allows postsynaptic mambrane to reestablish its resting potential and prevents continuous firing of the postsynaptic neuron in response to a single stimulus.

Types of Synapses
• Axodendritic (Between an axon & a dendrite)
• Axosomatic (Between an axon & a cell body)
• Dendrodendritic (Between dendrites)• Axoaxonic (Between axons)

Supporting Cells
• Provide structural and functional support to neurons.
• Take part in the formation of blood-brain barrier, thus monitoring the passage of materials from blood to neurons.
![Page 89: INTRODUCTION TO CELLS & TISSUES By Vijay Kapal](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ae8550346895dc8ab0a/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Supporting cells of CNS
1. Astrocytes:- (Blood-Brain Barrier) a) Protoplasmic astrocytesb) Fibrous astrocytes
2. Oligodendrocytes:- (Myelin to axons in CNS)
3. Ependymal cells:- (Produce the CSF)
4. Microglial cells:- (Macrophages of the nervous system)
![Page 90: INTRODUCTION TO CELLS & TISSUES By Vijay Kapal](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815ae8550346895dc8ab0a/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Supporting Cells of PNS
1. Schwann cells:A Schwann cell may envelop segments of several unmyelinated axons or provide a segment of a single myelinated axon with its myelin sheath. Each mylinated axon segment (internode) is wrapped around by layers of a Schwann cell process with most of its cytoplasm squeezed out. This multilayered Schwann cell plasma membrane (mainly of phospholipids) is called myelin. The gaps between myelin sheath segments are the nodes of Ranvier.
2. Satellite cells:Each neuron outside the CNS is surrounded by a single layer of cells, called satellite cells.

Aging and Repair
• A neuron is a terminally differentiated cell.• And is incapable of undergoing mitosis.• Aging neurons accumulate more of lipofuscin
pigment.• Neurons lost through injury or surgery cannot be
replaced.• If the cell body remains intact, the injured axon can
regenerate itself.• If stimulated by injury, supporting cells, unlike
neurons, can divide.

Response of Nerve Tissue to InjuryA. Damage to the Cell Body:
A neuron is a terminally differentiated cell & is unable to divide. So damaged or dead neurons can’t be replaced.
B. Damage to the Axon:1. Degenaration:- Distal to the site of injury, axon & myelin degenerate. Within 2-3 days, they are removed & these clear endoneurial channels are occupied by Schwann cells. Proximal to the site of injury, retrograde degeneration of axon goes up to 2 internodes, then injured axon is sealed. Cell body also undergoes changes in response to the injury. The Nissl bodies disappear (chromatolysis) & nucleus moves to the periphery. (2 Weeks)2. Regeneration:- Begins at 3rd week, Nissl bodies reappear, protein synthesis starts. Axon’s proximal stump gives off a number of small processes called neurites. One of these enters and grows in an endoneurial channel and synaptic contacts are remade with the target cell. The target cell or organ deprived of innervation often atrophy.
