Response-Understanding Cell Morphology- Structure Function and Organizational Components

Kurt,

Your post was very insightful and educating; the way you described cell morphology enhances understanding of the concept, especially when you explain each part’s cell structure and functions. The three different parts of a cell, which are membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm, collectively function to facilitate the overall specific functioning of the cell. Your selected case of a two-year-old male patient presenting symptoms of a retinal tumor gives a vivid description of how retinoblastoma, through the cellular mechanism, helps suppress specific cancer. The RB protein controls cell growth through a limiting cycle to only cells capable of diving (Brown et al., 2021). The two alleles are mutated within the retinoblastoma gene; however, they inactivate the entire gene.

I agree with your description of different cells and their role within specific disease processes. The lymphatic system is an excellent example of how other cells function within disease processes. The general function of the cells within the system is to destroy pathogens that cause disease by developing antibodies. B cells generate antibodies; T cells synthesize transmitters, whereas NK cells destroy infected cells to regulate disease progression.

Parminder,

The description of the morphology of cells and their role within specific disease processes was insightful; however, some additional information describing how it helps manage poison would be great. I agree with you that cell morphology facilitates reproduction and promotes development through mitosis; however, I would like to add that some specific functions of cell morphology within this perspective could have been cell division by copying preexisting cells. Your example of a poising case involving a 15-year-old male patient enhanced my understanding of possible etiologies and remedies. The function of plasma proteins is to impose oncotic pressure to keep bodily fluids in the intravascular instead of the interstitial compartment (Chow, (2021).

Morphology is the study of human cells’ shape, size, and structure. Different cells have different shapes and sizes depending on their functions. For instance, erythrocytes are circular and concave to increase the surface area for oxygen transportation, while leukocytes are amoeboid to engulf pathogens easily. Structurally, cells are organized into three main parts: cell membrane and cell wall in plants, cytoplasm, and nucleus.

The cell membrane or cell wall protects the inner organs of a cell. The cytoplasm contains organelles such as lysosomes, mitochondrions, and ribosomes. The nucleus contains nucleoplasm, chromatin, and nucleolus. All three parts are significant for the normal physiology of the cell.
