I'm a junior at the university of wisconsin LaCrosse and have to write a scientific paper for cell biology. what can i write about to the cell level that relates to rpetiles? [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

by cell level what do you mean...?

I think you could do one on venemous reptiles and how it affects cells in the body once bitten...

Genetics maybe .. Thats a papers worth...

Parasites and the effects...

How about IBD?

I know I would like to read any of them when you are done ...

IBD
INCLUSION BODY DISEASE

Signs of infection in boas include central nervous system disorders such as paralysis, being unable to right itself when turned over, "star-gazing", inability to strike or constrict. Other signs include chronic regurgitation, extreme weight loss, respiratory infections, and dysecdysis due to the inability to control body movements enough to rub off the old skin. The disease is rapidly fatal in young and juvenile boas, typified by rapid onset of flaccid paralysis.

In pythons, the disease progresses much more rapidly than in boas. Along with the above symptoms (excluding the chronic regurgitation), pythons also tend toward infectious stomatitis ("mouth rot&quot, heightened or exaggerated reflex responses, disorientation (which may be precipitated by the onset of central blindness) and loss of motor coordination.

What causes this disease? Intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusion bodies have been identified in the epithelial cells of the kidneys and pancreas. Neuronal degeneration and lesions form in the spinal cord and brain, and may be accompanied by myelin degeneration and nerve damage. Damage to the spleen is also found, with that organ being grossly atrophied and fibrosed. Electron microscopy has found that the organism falls into the retrovirus category.

I think the effects of envenomation on the cells would be interesting reading and writing and there is probably a wealth of information on it. IBD is a little less rich information wise. Parasites at the cellular level are also probably scarce as related to reptiles.

Unless it is intro biochem, I think genetics would be rather elementary, you'd basically be covering cell reproduction, which you'll learn anyway. And I think it'd suck to write [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

I vote for envenomation

I'm sorta with Jay. haha I'd love to read a paper on envenomation,however, I've always found genetics to be VERY interesting. I've always been under the impression though that's what Cell Biology was..... the study of genetics???

The study of genetics is geneology, cell bioglogy deals with everything that cells do. What about how chameleons change color, and how they have different pigmentation cells that expand and contract to change the appearance of the animal. I'm not sure how much info is out there, but I think that would be a neat subject.

hmmmm maybe one of the Biology majors will clear it up. I know Geneology is the study of your ancestors. I've only had a few Biology classes but was always under the impression Cell Biology dealt with genetics. Especially since cloning is considered Cell Biology. hmmmm maybe I'm just having a big brain fart. hahaha

Hi! Here's a couple of suggestions for your cell paper: Compare and contrast the control of pulmonary and systemic circulation of reptiles vs. avians or mammals. The types of enzymes used is the digestive system of snakes and how it's utilize. Reptilian gastrulation and its adaptation to yolky egg....These are just a couple of suggestions. By the way, I agree with Karen...genetics is included the study of cellular molecular biology....I know this b/c I'm currently taking the course. Anyway, good luck and keep us posted on your topic [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

Yeah, genetics is covered in cell bio, myosis I think is the process of cell division and lining up of chromosomes and all that good stuff...it's been over10 years since I took that class.

However, cell biology is not exclusively genetics, it includes cell machinery, synthesis and all the ribosomes and other good parts I've forgotten..

Hi,
I read a very interesting article about giant snake metabolism and digestion, you may want to check it out for future papers.

Hope this works hehehe, oh yea its on the bottom of the page it starts talking about eye injury and bottom is snake metabolism... Very neat stuff..
