Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 18TYK
Cilia are found on cells in almost every organ of the human body, and the malfunction of cilia is involved in several human disorders. During embryological development, for example, cilia generate a leftward flow of fluid that initiates the left-right organization of the body organs. Some individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia (see Module 4.18 checkpoint question) exhibit a condition (situs inversus) in which internal organs such as the heart are on the wrong side of the body. Explain why this reversed arrangement may be a symptom of PCD.

Neuroglia outnumber neurons in the nervous system by about 10 to 1.In addition, neuroglia retain the ability to divide, unlike most neurons.How do these two observations relate to the fact that most braincancers begin in glial cells?
Why do you think apoptosis occurs by a different mechanism from the cell death that occurs in necrosis? What might be the consequences if apoptosis were not achieved in such a neat and orderly fashion, whereby the cell destroys itself fron within and avoids leakage of its contents into the extracellular space?
Which is true for cancer cells:
1) Cell death occurs after a determined number of cell divisions
2) Contact with other cells reduces chance of cell division
3) Cell division occurs in the presence of stop signals.

- Cancer is a complicated series of diseases characterized by over-proliferation of cells within a tissue. While in some instances the primary tumor is the ultimate cause of death, in many cases the primary tumor metastasizes, or moves, through the lymph system to invade other tissues. The migration of tumor cells requires changes in the adhesion properties of the cell that allow it to move and invade more readily. There are several molecules involved in cell-to-cell connections and cellular architecture: laminins, matrix metalloproteinases, cadherins, and integrins. While mutations in genes that control the cell cycle or recognize DNA damage are the causes of tumor cell formation, tumor cell spread to other tissues may be caused by mutations in the genes the code for these extracellular proteins. The loss of cellular connections, cellular identification and signaling, and tissue structure may lead to the release of expanding tumor cells into the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
