Front (Question)

“angio”

Back (Answer)

vessel

Front (Question)

Formation of new blood vessels enables

Back (Answer)

malignant tumor growth

Front (Question)

diffusion-dependent tumor

Back (Answer)

Diffusion due to concentration gradients moves oxygen and nutrients towards tumor and moves wastes and carbon dioxide towards blood vessels

Front (Question)

without blood supply, tumor size is limited to about:

Back (Answer)

1mm^3

Front (Question)

Genetic mutations let some cancer cells secrete chemical signals

Back (Answer)

attract growing blood vessels

Front (Question)

Metastasis name

Back (Answer)

indicates a changed state, not “static”

Front (Question)

What kinds of cells normally move around inside your body?

Back (Answer)

White blood cells of various types, T-cells Macrophages Natural killer cells

Front (Question)

cell movement looks like

Back (Answer)

crawling

Front (Question)

what permits invasion?

Back (Answer)

Cell detachment and movement

#10

Front (Question)

what does metastasis require?

Back (Answer)

cells must enter blood vessels, survive, exit blood vessels and survive new location (rare)

#11

Front (Question)

Cellular definition of cancer:

Back (Answer)

A tumour is not a cancer, unless it has (or is likely to produce) cells able to detach, move, invade other tissues and spread throughout the body (metastasis)

#12

Front (Question)

metastasis

Back (Answer)

cells spreading throughout the body

#13

Front (Question)

occurrence of TAIM in animals

Back (Answer)

yes, yes, yes, yes

#14

Front (Question)

occurrence of TAIM in fungi

Back (Answer)

T - yes A - no? I - probably M - no

#15

Front (Question)

occurrence of TAIM in plants

Back (Answer)

T - yes A - yes … xylem, phloem I - cells could probably grow into it M - No, cells cannot detach and crawl (move)

#16

Front (Question)

occurrence of TAIM in prokaryotes

Back (Answer)

T - No – single cells can divide abnormally and clump, but there are no tissues A - No, single cells not multicellular I - No M - No

#17

Front (Question)

Cancer is only found among…

Back (Answer)

animals, multicellular eukaryotes (bilateria metazoans)

#18

Front (Question)

Cell walls of fungi and plant cells are

Back (Answer)

stiff and prevent cells moving around organism

#19

Front (Question)

galls

Back (Answer)

plant tumours form independently (no metastasis)

#20

Front (Question)

What did cancer originate in?

Back (Answer)

ancestors of multicellular animals (bilateria metazoans)

#21

Front (Question)

What is cancer?

Back (Answer)

Excess cell proliferation in a tissue Excess blood vessel formation Ability of some primary tumour cells to detach, move Secondary tumors form at distant locations

#22

Front (Question)

How are tumours classified

Back (Answer)

by place of origin and features

#23

Front (Question)

Where do carcinomas form

Back (Answer)

in epithelia

#24

Front (Question)

epithelia

Back (Answer)

All internal and external surfaces Body cavity surfaces Hollow organ surfaces Ducts and glands surfaces
