Cellular Structure

by Georgina Cornwall, PhD

Cellular functioning, movement, and communication rely on the cytoskeleton, a large internal network of protein filaments embedded in the cytosol and anchored to the cell membrane.

In this course, the student will be introduced to the composition and function of the cytoskeleton, mechanisms of molecular transport, modes of cell communication, and second messengers.

For optimal comprehension, the student will be required to be familiar with the basic concepts of college-grade biology and chemistry.

Great lecture.
By Mariana . on 15. January 2024 for Passive Transport – Transport Across Cell Membranes

Easy to understand.I like how she uses examples to illustrate passive vs. active transport.

 
Outstanding!
By Mariana . on 15. January 2024 for Lysosomes

Amazing lecture, Dr. Georgina lessons are by far the best I've had in citology. Very clear and straight forward, perfect for the Mcat. Thank you!

 
Excellent lecture.
By Mariana . on 14. December 2023 for Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Apparatus

The most important part of this lecture in my opinion is the analogies that Dr. Georgina offers. It really help us to understand for example when she associated the Golgi Complex with a Fedex facility, or when she connects the fact that liver cells have more SER since one of its important functions is detoxification.

 
good lecture
By IKRAM KHAN . on 06. October 2023 for Bulk Transport – Transport Across Cell Membranes

she is doing very well in explaining the topics and precise.
