Example text
Tissue growth occurs as cells enlarge and reproduce themselves. Even without growth, tissue maintenance requires that new cells be produced to replace cells that are lost normally through cellular death. Not all cells are capable of continuous division (see Chapter 2). Communication. Communication is vital for cells to survive as a society of cells. Pancreatic cells, for instance, secrete and release insulin necessary to signal muscle cells to absorb sugar from the blood for energy. Constant communication allows the maintenance of a dynamic steady state.
Importantly, the ER is responsible for much of a cell’s protein synthesis and folding, and a new role is sensing cellular stress (see What’s New? Endoplasmic Reticulum, Protein Folding, and ER Stress). Understanding mechanisms of cellular stress will aid diagnosis and treatment of disease. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (sER) does not contain ribosomes or ribonucleoprotein particles (see Figure 1-1). Rather, membranous surfaces of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum contain enzymes involved in the synthesis of steroid hormones and are responsible for a variety of reactions required to remove toxic substances from the cell.
The outer membrane is permeable (passable) to many substances, but the inner membrane is highly selective and contains many transmembranous transport systems. The inner membrane contains a transporter to move electrically charged calcium (calcium ions). (Membrane transport is discussed on p. ) Mitochondria contain their own DNA that codes for enzymes needed for oxidative phosphorylation. Vaults Vaults are cytoplasmic organelles, also called ribonucleoproteins, that are much larger than ribosomes and shaped like octagonal barrels (Figure 1-8).
