Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether or not the fact that the properties of bone are due to its extracellular material is an exception to the cell theory.
Introduction:
Cell theory is a scientific theory that explained that all the living organisms are composed of cells. This theory states that cells are the organizational or structural unit of life.

Tumors associated with breast cancer usually arise from either epithelial cells or fibroblasts. Because optimal treatment differs depending on the cellular origin of the tumor, it’s important for doctors to determine which cell type is present in a tumor. Unfortunately, the distinctive morphology of epithelial cells is lost when they become cancerous, so this determination cannot be made based on cell shape alone. How might determination of the class(es) of intermediate filaments present in tumor cells aid a doctor in figuring out which cell type is involved in the tumor?

- all the following statements which relate to apical surface modifications(brush border) of epithelial cells are true except. * these are anchored in a dense mat of microfilaments in the apical cytoplasm called the terminal, lateral web. The apical surface of cells in intestine is usually covered with microvilli. the microfilaments can contract, By interacting with cytoplasmic myosin, then caused the shortening of the microvilli. cores of microvilli are composed of parallel actin microfilaments.arrow_forwardA 5-year-old child is admitted to the hospital having experienced repeated fractures over the preceding three years, predominantly due to overexertion. On examination, the patient's sclera appears blue; his teeth are bell shaped and show discoloration. X-ray reveals spine abnormalities and poor bone mineralisation.

These cells do not usually have microvilli nor do they express the actin-binding protein villin; both of these properties are characteristic of certain epithelial cells, such as those lining the intestine and kidneys. Remarkably enough, however, if one artificially engineers fibroblast cells to produce the villin protein, microvilli form on the fibroblasts. Given what you know about the function of villin, why might this striking change in cell morphology occur?arrow_forward
