Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Apoptosis is the programmed cell death mechanism used to eliminate aged, mutated, unwanted, or uncontrolled cells in the multicellular organisms. Caspase (cysteine protease) proteins play a crucial role in mediating the apoptotic mechanism. The morphological features of apoptosis undergoing cells are membrane blebbing, shrinkage of cells, chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation, and formation of apoptotic bodies. Macrophages engulf these apoptotic bodies and thereby this mechanism prevents necrosis (accidental cell death) and inflammation.

TRUE OR FALSE
1. Since a tattoo is a pigment considered as an intracellular accumulation, it is absolutely toxic
2. Even if the cell is intact, there can be an irreversible cell injury if the nucleus is affected
3. There is excessive accumulation of substances in a tissue if you will not only be able to observe them intracellularly but also extracellularly
I’m so confused on all these.

Thank you in advance.arrow_forwardCan you please help me with questions 5. In the film, Dr. Jablonski explains that melanin, located in the top layer of human skin, absorbs UV radiation, protecting cells from the damaging effects of UV. Genetics determines the type of melanin (i.e., brown/black eumelanin or red/brown pheomelanin) and the amount of melanin present in an individual’s cells. Based on this information, write a hypothesis for where in the world you would expect to find human populations with darker or lighter skin pigmentation (i.e., different amounts of melanin). 9. Do these data support your hypothesis from Question 5? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardImmunology Case Study to study A 34 week pregnant women called her obstetrician as she was worried after coming down with a fever and sore throat. The doctor ordered EBV testing and CMV antibody testing. EBV testing was negative, but the mother demonstrated a four fold increase in CMV IgG after a 14 day interval.1. What is the definitive testing to be done to confirm CMV infection in the mother? 2. What are the chances her newborn will be born with symptoms of congenital CMV? 3. Why are CMV screenings on all pregnant women not a part of routine prenatal care? 4. What antibody class (IgG or IgM) would point to CMV infection in newborn testing?arrow_forward
