This flashcard set covers advanced topics in cellular biology and is tailored for university-level students. It delves into the structure and function of key cellular components like the cytoskeleton, which includes microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments, as well as organelles such as the nucleus, nucleolus, and endoplasmic reticulum. The flashcards also explore processes like mitosis, meiosis, and apoptosis, providing insights into cell division and programmed cell death. Medical students and researchers will find this set particularly useful for understanding the intricate details of cell biology and histology.

Necrosis
Necrosis = “Normal” cell death
- Pyknosis: shrinkage and compaction of the nucleus - Karyorrhexis = Fragmentation of the nucleus
- Karyolysis = Dissolution (lysis) of the nucleus
Apoptosis
Apoptosis = Programmed cell death
- Initiated by external and/or internal (DNA damage) signals
- Predetermined sequence of events
- Minimal disturbance to neighbouring cells
