Cytoplasm is located within the cell membrane and all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts. Majority of all the important activities take place in the cytoplasm as cytoplasm consist of enzymes which are responsible for breaking down waste and also aid in metabolic activity. Nucleus: The nucleus is the control system of the cell. The nucleus contains the DNA of the cell. The function of the cell is to maintain the integrity of these genes and to control the activities of the cell by regulating the gene expression.
Organelles include mitochondria, Iysosomes, the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondria: Every cell in the body has at least 1000 of these rod-shaped, spherical bodies and very energetic active cells like muscle and liver cells will have much more. Mitochondria are concerned with energy release. Each mitochondria has a double layered membrane but the inner layer is folded at intervals, which produces a series of ridges known as cristae. The enzymes responsible for the end stages of glucose oxidation are located on the cristae.
“Both deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA and all types of ribonucleic acid or RNA are involved in the process,” (What Is Protein Synthesis, 2013.) Enzymes in the cell’s nucleus begin the process of protein synthesis by unwinding the needed section of DNA, so that RNA can be made. The RNA forms as a copy of one side of the DNA strand, and is sent to other areas of the cell to aid in the bringing together of different amino acids that form proteins. Protein synthesis is so called because proteins are synthesized through mechanical and chemical processes in the cell. Once the strand of RNA has been made in the nucleus, it is called messenger RNA.
Its main function is to rewrite ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and combine it with proteins. This results in the formation of incomplete ribosomes. Cytoplasm- The jelly-like fluid that fills a cell is called cytoplasm. It is made up of mostly water and salt. Cytoplasm is present within the cell membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts.

Due to this, CF children are more susceptible to fractures. Clubbing of the fingers and toes is also a common symptom of CF (Haworth et al, 1999). Furthermore, because the pancreas produces insufficient enzymes to digest fat, it passes straight through the gut resulting oily, smelly faeces containing the excess fat (Bupa). Constipation is also a problem, due to hardened faeces causing intestinal blockages; this is seen more often in older children (Khoshoo and Udall, 1994). In the air passages of healthy lungs, mucus constantly flows over the surfaces removing debris and bacteria.
The majority of the cells mass is composed of cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is a gel-like substance, which in typical cells is largely composed of water, with trace elements of protein, enzymes, amino acids and sugars. Supported within the cytoplasm are all of the cells internal components or organelle, the parts of a cell that define the cells nature and function. Organelle in eukaryotic cells are more numerous to the component parts of prokaryotes, though components and organelle such as ribosomes can be familiar to both. Ribosomes are responsible for assembling chains of amino acids to make protein.
Unit 7 P1 P1 TASK ONE Anatomy and physiology of a cell Name of parts of a cell | Anatomy(structures) | Physiology (function) | Nucleus | The nuclear envelope is a double membrane. Is has 4 phospholipid layers. It is also has large pores through which materials pass back and forth. | The nucleus regulates all cell activity. It does this by controlling the enzymes present.
They are instruction manuals for our bodies. They are the directions for building all the proteins that make our bodies function. All of these genes are needed to give instructions for how to operate and control all parts of our bodies. The flow of information from the genes decides the amount and the exact place of where the protein should be made. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
Depending on its cause, emaciation may have other features, and while from the outside these symptoms look severe, on the inside of the body it is more dangerous, as most of the body’s systems aren't provided with the nutrition required to function well or normally. The more severe low body weight is, the more risk this poses. (Fargo, 2012) Emaciation has numerous causes, and things like involuntary starvation should not be overlooked. In areas where poverty is extreme, few residents may get the nutrition they need and they may begin to show signs of emaciation. Appearance isn’t the only issue, and starvation is life-threatening.
