SCB203 Fall 2009 Study Guide: Labs 1-3

This study guide covers key concepts for Lab 1-3 of the SCB203 Fall I 2009 course. It defines terms related to particle movement, microscope use, the metric system, cell structure, mitosis, and tissues. Key points include diffusion, osmosis, filtration, microscope parts and use, metric units and conversions, parts of the cell, mitosis phases, and four basic tissue types. Students should understand these concepts and be able to identify structures in diagrams and experiments.

SCB203 Fall I 2009

Dr. Angela Gee


Study guide (Lab 1-3)

Be able to define and describe the following terms:

Principles of Particle Movement:


Selective (differential) permeability
Diffusion
Osmosis
- isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic solution
Filtration
Kinetic Energy
Brownian Movement
Recall how the diffusion, osmosis and filtration experiments demonstrated those concepts.

Microscope:
Compound microscope
Light controls: (numbers refer to diagram handed out in lab)
On/off (#6)
Brightness control (#5)
Iris diaphragm lever (#13)
Other parts:
- Base, arm, power cord
- Stage (#16) and knobs for X & Y stage adjustment (#9 & 10)
- Course (#8) and fine (#7) adjustment knob
- Nose piece (#18)
Lens
1) Objectives (#17): Red (scanning), Yellow (low), Blue (high), White (oil)
2) Ocular (#1)
What you see:
Total Magnification = objective power x ocular power (ie. using scanning = 5 x 10 = 50x)
Resolution
Field of vision
Know the procedure for focusing a specimen.
Know how to make a wet mount.
Know how to carry and put away the microscope.

Metric System
2 reasons to use metric system: covers wide range, base of 10
Basic units: Length (meter), Mass (gram), Volume (Liter)
Prefixes (symbols and relationships): nano, milli, centi, deci, unit, kilo, Mega
Convert between units
Estimate measurements
Vital capacity experiment: reasons for our data (error in measurement and environment factors)
The Cell:
3 main parts:
1) Plasma membrane
Protective barrier and selectively permeable
Active transport vs. passive transport (ie. diffusion, osmosis, filtration)
Microvili
2) Cytoplasm : cytosol, organelles (nucleus, ribosomes, rough and smooth endoplasmic
reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, mitochondria, centrioles, cytoskeletal elements)
3) Nucleus : control center, chromatin, nucleolus
Compare structure and function of red blood cells, sperm cells, muscle cells and cheek cells.

Mitosis:
Cell Life Cycle: Interphase and Cell division
Know the key events occurring at each phase, and the relative lengths of each phase.
Be able to identify these stages in a picture (see pg. 46-47, 51).
Importance of mitosis
Interphase: chromatin, centrioles, asters
Mitosis: 4 phases
1) prophase: chromosomes, chromatids, centromere, centrioles, mitotic spindle
2) metaphase: plate
3) anaphase
4) telophase
Cytokinesis: cleavage furrow

Tissues:
Be able to identify the following tissue types, give the function, and name an example of where it
is found. For pictures, see pgs. 70-83 and 89-90 in lab manual. For additional pictures,
see pgs. 3-9 (plates 1-20) & 12-13 (plates 28, 31, 32) in “Brief Atlas of Human Body”.
4 types:
1. Epithelium
Classification by
1) Layers: Simple vs. stratified
2) Shape: Squamous, Cuboidal, Columnar
Special categories: pseudostratified columnar, transitional
2. Connective
Consist of ground substance, fibers, cells
4 classes:
1) connective tissue proper: loose (areolar, adipose) and dense (regular, irregular)
2) cartilage: hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
3) bone
4) blood
3. Nervous: neuroglial, neurons
4. Muscle
3 types: 1) skeletal
2) cardiac
3) smooth
