When can cancer occur?

Majority of cell in interphase, broken in to G1 S(DNA copied) and G2 cancer can occur at check points, M phase Mitosis Usally occur with a cell mutation check point: if cell needs DNA s phase occurs if not goes into G2 phase. Cell stays mostly in interphase

Camoflauge color change step

Signal to the the body from nervous system-- external stimuli (vision, touch) -Specifically, octopus have many more photoreceptors than vertebrates -Octopus, cuttlefish, and squid are capable of seeing different aspects of light such as polarized light Radial muscles move to change size of pigmented chromatophore -Radial muscle fibers pull on the cytoelastic sacculus to expand pigment sac to show more granules -Gap junction allows change of size -One chromatophore expands others contract Leucophores and iridophores align in order to reflect their surroundings -With expansion of chromatophores, light is taken in and reflected by leucophores based on most abundant wavelength of light -With expansion of chromatophores, light is taken in and refracted by iridophores to produce favorable color. -Prism structure allows for refraction

Describe the relationship of the immune system to organ transplants and the use of immunosuppressant drugs to prevent the rejection of a transplanted organ. In your answer be sure to include: -state 1 way the immune system is involve in the rejection of transplanted organs -explain why the best source for a donated kidney would be the identical twin of the recipient -explain why immunosuppressant drugs might be needed to prevent refection of a kidney recieved from a donor other than an identical twin -state 1 reason a person may get sick more easily when taking an immunosuppressant drug

The immune system helped protect the body from things that are foreign to the body. For example, viruses or cells with DNA that do match those of the individual. An organ that is transplanted do not have the same DNA as the recipent. This will cause the immune system in the recipent to try and get rid of that organ. An identical twin is the best source of a donated organ like a kidney because there genetics are 99.9% the same as the recipient. This would decieve the immune system into thinking that that organ is actually one's own cells. Immunosuppressants are also used to help combat the effects of organ rejection. They do this by calming down the bodies natural immune system reaction. The type of immunosupresants that the recipent takes depends on the serverity of the organ rejection. All organ recipentants have to be on some amount of immounsupressants in order to have their new organ for as long as possible. These will need to be taken if the organ is not from an identical twin because they help prevent the immune system from destroying the organ. One negative effect to taking immunosuppressants is that they increase one's chances of getting sick because the immune system is controled in a way that it does not work completely as it usally would in order to save the transplanted organ. This causes antigens to be able to get in the body and be there for longer, which causes the person to be sick more often.
