606-216 Cell Biology II. Cellular Interactions (Lectures Only)

Note:

  1. This subject is a joint Botany/Zoology/Anatomy and Cell Biology subject.

  2. Credit cannot be granted for both 606-206 and 606-216.

Credit Points:

6.25

Coordinator:

Professor Jeremy Pickett-Heaps (Botany) (Chief Coordinator), Prof Graeme Campbell (Zoology), Prof John Furness (Anatomy and Cell Biology)

Prerequisite/s:

Cell Biology 606-205 (or 606-215), or Biochemistry 521-211 + 521-212 (1996: 521-201) as a co-requisite.

Timetable:

Semester 2

Contact:

26 lectures (two 1-hour lectures per week)

Objectives:

This subject builds on the knowledge gained from Cell Biology I: Cells and Organelles (606-215), and has as its objectives that students should gain a clear understanding of:

  • how cells communicate;

  • how cells divide, differentiate and interact to form tissues;

  • how cells express genetic information during differentiation and morphogenesis;

  • how biologists integrate biochemical, ultrastructural and biophysical information.

Content:

The nature of cell-cell communication, how cells divide and cooperate to form complex tissues; the flow and expression of genetic information involved in differentiation and morphogenesis; basic types of tissue motility and contractility and the role of membranes in controlling these processes.

Assessment:

A 3-hour written examination at the end of semester.
