Uranyl acetate (uranium salt), Osmium tetroxide (heavy metal)o Artifacts Minor distortions of preserved tissues Not exactly like living tissues and organs- Electron Microscopyo TEMo SEM - Clinical anatomy – An introduction to medical imaging techniqueso X-ray: electromagnetic waves of very short length Best for visualizing bones and abnormal dense structures Negative image – dense structure appear light, less dense appear dark- Advanced X-Ray Techniqueso Computed axial tomography (CT or CAT): takes successive X rays around a person’s full circumference Translates recorded information into a detailed picture of the body section Viewed in transverse plane- Advanced imaging techniqueso Positron Emission tomography (PET): forms images by detecting radioactive isotopes injected into the body Isotopes usually incorporated into sugars – accumulate in metabolically active tissueso Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): produces high-quality images of soft tissues Distinguishes body tissues based on relative water content Powerful magnets alter spin of hydrogen atoms When magnets shut off, radio waves emitted by atoms are detected and used to form imageo Sonography (ultrasound imaging): body is probed with pulses of high-frequency sound waves that echo off the body’s tissues Imaging technique used to determine the age of a developing fetus- Introduction to Cell anatomyo Cells: the smallest living units in our bodies About 252 different kindso Cells have 3 main components: Plasma membrane – plasmalemma; forms the boundary of each cell Cytoplasm (cytosol + organelles)- Organelles – little organs – carry out essential functions of cells Nucleus- Structure of a Generalized Cello- The plasma membraneo Fluid mosaic model: phospholipid (most abundant component) bilayer interspersed withprotein and cholesterol Phospholipids oreiented in opposite direction within bilayero Some carbohydrate attached to membrane proteins – glycocalyx: cell-cell recognition and attachmento Types of membrane proteins Integral proteins – firmly imbedded in, or attached to, lipid bilayer (ex: ion channels, carrier proteins, enzymes, receptors) Peripheral proteins – attach to membrane surface (most on inner portion of bilayer; most attach to cytoskeletal
