the cell si the basic unit of life
WK 10: CANCER BIOLOGY
P1 :) the human body is composed of a collection of
millions of cells
What is a cell?
different cells make up different tissues and organs
with different functions
cells Basic unit of life
WK 10: CANCER BIOLOGY Before the cell dies, it will divide so that our body
P1 :) does not run out of cell
Cells in our body do not
live forever, cells divide via the process of mitosis or meisosis
they only last a certain where its dna geentic makeup is divided into and
period of time seperated into identical daughter cells
For ex: the rbc life spa is
120 days
How do we keep up with
dying cells?
, cancer is the abnormal cell division/growth due to
changes in the cells genetic makeup
WK 10: CANCER BIOLOGY
P1 :)
the cells is not divding and dying like it normally
NOW WHAT IS CANCER?
would = some of these cells dont die at all and live
forever
WK 10: CANCER BIOLOGY Karkinoma
P1 :)
Crab in greek means what
WK 10: CANCER BIOLOGY malignant tumour
P1 :)
Karkinoma is another word
for?
WK 10: CANCER BIOLOGY abnormal growth of uncontrolled proliferation
P1 :) serving NO PHYSIOLOGIC function whatsoever
Cancer is not just a tumour
UNDERSTAND that a
tumour = just a mass of
abnormal cells
but CANCER IS more than
just a tumour
what is cancer?
what is a tumour mass of abnormally growing cells
, WK 10: CANCER BIOLOGY neo-meaning new
P1 :) plasm meaning growth
Sometimes cancer is new-growth
called a neoplasm
what is a neoplasm?
WK 10: CANCER BIOLOGY True
P1 :) but the reason why
everybody dosent have cancer is because
T OR F: normally in most people
everybody develops the bodies immune T and B cells (adapative immunity)
cancer cells is strong and fast enough to destroy these cells
WK 10: CANCER BIOLOGY around 40x
P1 :)
cell will live, do its job, divide 40x, then pass away
Most cells live and divide
how many times before
they die
WK 10: CANCER BIOLOGY the reason behind why cancer cells keep multiplying
P1 :) and dont die is because they dont have the gene to
die
Cancer cells however
dont live, divide 40x, and without this special gene, they keep on multiplying
die and lvie forever
Cancer cells can live
forever? What makes them
special enough to do this?
Branch of medical science concerned with the
Epidemiology incidence, distribution, and control of diseases that
affect large numbers of people.
