PHYSIOLOGY
Study of normal processes and functions in livingorganisms and the mechanisms by which these are carried
out and regulated.
Medical physiology concentrates on human physiology
It Helps in maintenance ofadaptation and homeostasis, 2
fundamental features of life

STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATIONOF CELL
3 Principal constituents of cell :
1. Cell Membrane
2. Nucleus &
its chromosomes
3. Cytoplasm &
its organelles

CELL MEMBRANE
It is also called plasma membrane or unit membrane.
It is a flexible ,selective barrier that encloses the cell contents.
The average thickness of the membrane is 7-10 nm.
STRUCTURE OF CELL MEMBRANE
It is described using the FLUID MOSAIC MODEL.
It was discovered by SINGER and NICHOLSON in 1972 .
The molecular arrangement of the plasma membrane resembles
an ever-moving sea of fluid lipids that contains a mosaic of
many different proteins.

The Endoplasmic Reticulum : is a network of
intracellular membranes connected tothe nuclear envelope , which
surrounds the nucleus.
ER has four major functions:
1. Synthesis :- Specialized regions of the ER synthesize
proteins,carbohydrates, and lipids.
2. Storage :- store synthesized molecules or materials absorbed from
the cytosol without affecting other cellular operations.
3. Transport:- Materials can travel from place to place in the ER.
4. Detoxification :- Drugs or toxins can be absorbed by the ER and
neutralized by enzymes within it

Golgi apparatus :
Typically consists of five or six flattened membranous discs
called cisternae .
The Golgi apparatus has three major functions:
(1) modifies and packages secretions, such as hormones or
enzymes, for release through exocytosis
(2) renews or modifies the plasma membrane; and
(3) packages special enzymes within vesicles for use in the
cytoplasm.

i. They arepower generating units of cell
ii. They provide energy for performing many functions of cell
by metabolism using nutrients and oxygen
iii. The number varies from 100-1000 depending on energyrequirement of that cell
iv. The size is 1 length varies from 5-12
v. The shape varies from globular, sausage to filamentous
form

They are large irregular vesicular structures bounded by unit
membrane.
Size varies from 250-750 m.
They are filled with granules, size 5-8 nm which are aggregates
of protein hydrolytic enzymes mainly acid hydrolase.
They remove unwanted substances and bacteria, providing
intracellular digestive system .

FUNCTIONSOF LYSOSOMES
1. Lysosomes also engulf worn out components ofcell forming Autophagic vacuole.
2. Lysosomal enzymes also cause autolysis of theremnants of a dead cell calledAUTODIGESTION.
Thus they are called asSUICIDAL BAGS. The lysosomes provide anIntracellular digestive system that
allows the cell to digest within itself
damaged cell structures
food particles ingested
unwanted matter e.g. bacteria

CELL DIVISION
It is the process by which cells reproduce themselves.
2 types 1. Somatic cell division
2. Reproductive cell division
A somatic cell is any cell of the body other than a germ cell.
A germ cell is a gamete (sperm or oocyte)
Somatic cell division : a cell undergoes anuclear division called
mitosis and a cytoplasmic division called cytokinesis to produce
two genetically identical cells, each with the same number and
kind of chromosomes as the original cell.
It replaces dead or injured cells and adds new ones during tissue
growth.

MITOSIS
Mitotic phase : Parent cell produces identical cells with identical
chromosomes.
Mitosis : Nuclear division; distribution of two sets of chromosomes
into separate nuclei.
1. Prophase : Chromatin fibers condense into paired chromatids;
nucleolus and nuclear envelope disappear; each centrosome moves to
an opposite pole of the cell.2. Metaphase :- Centromeres of chromatid pairs line up at metaphase
plate.
3. Anaphase :- Centromeres split; identical sets of chromosomes move
to opposite poles of cell.
4. Telophase :-Nuclear envelopes and nucleoli reappear; chromosomes
resume chromatin form; mitotic spindle disappears.
Cytokinesis :- Cytoplasmic division; contractile ring forms cleavage
furrow around center of cell, dividing cytoplasm into separate and equal
portions.

Reproductive cell division : It is the mechanism that
produces gametes.
Gametes : The cells needed to form the next generation of
sexually reproducing organisms.
This process consists of a special 2 step division called
meiosis, in which the number of chromosomes in the nucleus
is reduced by half.

MEIOSIS It is a specialized process of cell division that occurs only in the
production of gametes within the female ovary or male testes
It consists of two divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II), which result in the
formation of four gametes, each containing half the number ofchromosomes (23 single chromosomes) and half the amount of DNA (1N)found in normal somatic cells (46 single chromosomes, 2N).
Meiosis I :- Synapsis: pairing of 46 homologous duplicated chromosomes.
Crossing over: exchange of large segments of DNA.
Alignment : alignment of 46 homologous duplicated chromosomes at themetaphase plate.
Disjunction: separation of 46 homologous duplicated chromosomes from eachother; centromeres do not split.
Cell division: formation of two secondary gametocytes (23 duplicatedchromosomes, 2N).
Meiosis II. Events that occur during meiosis II include the following: Synapsis: absent.
Crossing over : absent.
Alignment: alignment of 23 duplicated chromosomes at the metaphase plate.
Disjunction: separation of 23 duplicated chromosomes to form 23 singlechromosomes; centromeres split.
Cell division: formation of four gametes (23 single chromosomes, 1N).
