| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| autocrine: | cell signaling to itself. ex: cytokines binding to T helper (itself) |
| cell to cell/juxtacrine: | ligand on one cell attatches to cell surface receptor of another cell, like 2 ballons touching eachother |
| paracrine: | short distance signaling. ex: cytokines (that are not autocrine) to another cell such as cytotoxic T cells |
| endocrine: | long distance signaling. ex: anything that has to do with the bloodstream |
| pathogen: | causes disease. ex: virus, bacteria, etc |
| antigen: | surface molecule on pathogen or APC |
| antibody: | Y: protein with specific shape to bind onto the antigen on pathogen to make pathogens stick together (agglutination) and getting in the way so the pathogen cannot infect cells |
| cytokines: | ligands that are released from T helper cells to either autocrine itself (T helper) to promote the making of cytokines are paracrine to cytotoxic T cells or B cells |
| b cells: | attack pathogens by releasing antibodies |
| t cells: | attack and kill infected cells from (cell + pathogen = infected) |
| steriod is a... | lipid |
| interphase steps and important stuff: | -DNA in chromaTIN form G1: grows (organelles, membrane) S: dna replication/copied G2: proof reading/checking Go: cell is doing work |
| mitosis steps and important stuff: | Prophase: dna is coiled into chromosomes so NOT chromatin anymore Metaphase: chromosomes meet in the middle Anaphase: spindle fibers pull apart the chromsomes Telophase: 2 nuclei Cytokinesis (not part of mitosis!): 1 cell is now 2 cells |
| second messengers: | amplify and relay signals from cell surface receptor to trigger a specfic transnduction and then response. ex: cAMP, cyclic AMP |
| binary fission: | -happens in prokaryotes -cells divide while DNA is not coiled up -first replicating its DNA, then growing larger, and finally splitting in two |
