Understanding Cell Modifications

The document discusses cell modifications, which are adaptations acquired by cells after division that enhance their functions. It outlines three types of cell modifications: apical, basal, and lateral, providing examples and functions for each type. Key features include cilia, flagella, microvilli for apical modifications, hemidesmosomes for basal modifications, and tight, adhering, and gap junctions for lateral modifications.

LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
• Define Cell Modification
• Three types of Cell Modification
• Examples of Apical, Basal, and
Lateral cell modification
• Functions of the different cell
modification
What is Cell
Modification?
Cell Modification are
adaptations or changes
acquired by the cell after
cell division that helps the
cell in different beneficial
Apical Modification Basal Modification

Lateral
Modification
APICAL
MODIFICATIO
NS
CILIA
Hair-like organelles extending
from the cell surface

TYPES OF
CILIA
[Link]-motile (sensory)
[Link] (movement
FLAGELLA
• Long whip-like, tail-like
structures made of protein
filaments
• aids in movement
VILLI or
MICROVILLI
• small, slender, vascular,
finger-like projections
• increases surface area to
increase absorption
PSUEDOPODS
• “false feet”
• temporary extension of the
cytoplasm
• movement and ingestion
(phagocytosis)
BASAL
MODIFICATIO
NS
HEMIDESMOSO
MES
• The anchoring junction of the
basal surface of the cell.

• Primarily composed of
keratin, integrins, and
cadherins.
LATERAL
MODIFICATIO
NS
TIGHT
• ActsJUNCTION
as barrier that regulates
the movement of water and
solutes
• Prevents leakage of ECF
ADHERING
JUNCTIONS
• Anchoring junction on the lateral
surface of the cell
• Very similar to the anchoring
junction of the basal surface of the
cell
• Fasten cells to one another
GAP JUNCTION
• Also known as
communicating junctions
• Closable channels that
connect the cytoplasm of
adjoining animal cells
