Nucleus

Nucleus

Nucleus




Robert BrownThe title of the discovery of the Nucleus goes to Robert Brown in 1831, it looks dark than the surrounding cytoplasm. the shape of nucleus may be spherical or irregular.
it controls the life and activities of the cell,in animal it is present in centre of cell but in plant it is pushed towards a side due to large vacuole. the number of nucleus is different in different cell.
mononucleate
the cell have one nucleus.
 Binoculeate:
 Cell have two nuclei.
 Multinucleate:
The cell with more than two nuclei.

The nucleus is visible only during the non dividing phase.

Chemically the nucleus is composed of DNA,RNA and protein including enzymes.


 nucleus is composed of four  parts
1 Nuclear membrane:
 it separates the nuclear material from the cytoplasm,it is not a complete barrier, It contains pores called nuclear pores.over 3,000 nuclear pores are present in egg but erythrocyte have  only 3 to 4 pores.
Certain substances pass like protein and mRNA freely through these pored between the nucleus and the surroundings cellular substances.
 2.Nucleolus:
 One or more small bodie are found called nucleolus,it consists of protein and RNA.
it produces ribosomes.
3 Nucleoplasm:
Fluid lying inside the nuclear membrane is known as *nucleoplasm* .

 *chromosomes*

 Nucleus contain chromatin material this chromatin material is changed into chromosomes during cell division,each chromosomes is made up of protein and DNA.
Dna strand is about 2m long,DNA is wrapped around the core of histone protein to form a nucleosome,histone proteins are( H1 H2a H2b H3 H4 ) about 25 millions nucleosomes are present in each nucleus.
Thus,the structure of Chromosomes the chromosomes looks like a string of beads.
During cell division the coiling around histone is loosened  by acetylation of the histone proteins. chromosomes are visible only during cell division, chromosomes contain units of heredity called genes (segment of the DNA),except in germ cell the chromosomes occur in pairs,one pair originally from each parent.

Function of nucleus 
The specific functions performed by the nucleus are as follows:
I) It is regarded as the controlling centre of the vital activities of the cell, it actslike a brain of cell.
 ii) It controls or directs the synthesis of the enzymes which catalyse most of the reaction in the cell.
iii) It produces chromosomes during cell division,the chromosomes transfer heredity character from parents to daughter cell.
iv) It directly takes part in cell division and reproduction.
v) It produces DNA and RNA,DNA is a genetic material and RNA takes part in protein synthesis.

Neurotransmitters and receptors

Neurotransmitters and receptors Did you know there are billions of neurons—and trillions of synapses—in your amazing brain? ^1 1 start superscript, 1, end superscript  (No wonder you can learn anything, including neurobiology!) Most of your synapses are  chemical synapses , meaning that information is carried by chemical messengers from one neuron to the next. In the article on synapses, we discussed how synaptic transmission works. Here, we’ll focus on  neurotransmitters , the chemical messengers released from neurons at synapses so that they can “talk” to neighboring cells. We’ll also look at the receptor proteins that let the target cell “hear” the message. Neurotransmitters: Conventional and unconventional There are many different kinds of neurotransmitters, and new ones are still being discovered! Over the years, the very idea of what makes something a neurotransmitter has changed and broadened. Because the definition has expanded, some recently discovered n

The Importance of Animal Physiology

The Importance of  Animal Physiology Why is the study of animal physiology important to you and to people in general? Not the least of the reasons is the one we have already emphasized—namely, that a full understanding and appreciation of all the marvels and other phenomena of the animal world depends on an analysis of how animals work. The study of physiology draws us beyond surface impressions into the inner workings of animals, and nearly always this venture is not only a voyage of discovery, but also one of revelation. The study of physiology also has enormous practical applications because physiology is a principal discipline in the understanding of health and disease. The analysis of many human diseases—ranging from aching joints to heart failure—depends on understanding how the “human machine” works. A physician who studies heart disease, for instance, needs to know the forces that make blood flow into the heart chambers between one heartbeat and the next. The physician also

What are chromosomes?

Image
Chromosome Chromosome During cell division the chromatin material change into thread like structure called chromosome. Chromosomes are also called physical basis of hereditary. On the chromosomes small bodies are located call genes. There are thousands of genes are present in an organisms.Genes are the unit of heredity. These genes contain hereditary character which are transfered from one generation to another by the help of chromosomes. Chromosomes were discovered by a biologist waldyer in 1876. After that in  1908 Sutton identified the function of chromosomes,that they take part in the transfer of hereditary characters.      ( Next post will be about Structure of chromosomes)
