Animal Cell Analogy: Hospital

By: Carli Laudahn 8A

Cell Membrane

Nucleus

The cell membrane protects the interior of the cell by allowing only certain substances into the cell, while keeping others out. I compared the cell membrane with the outer walls and the main doors of the hospital; because it controls who or what enters the hospital.

The nucleus of a cell is like the hospital's administration. The nucleus is the main core of the cell that controls and coordinates all the activities and the functions of the cell; and the hospital's administrations handles everything that goes on in the hospital.

Golgi Body

Nucleolus

The nucleolus is the center of the nucleus, it sends out all of the organelles that work within the cell. The nucleolus contains protein and RNA. I compared the cell's nucleolus with the head department (CEO) of the administration because they are the person in charge of the administration (nucleus).

The golgi body processes molecules then stores or sends them out of the cell. I compared the golgi body with the hospital's delivery trucks, that deliver supplies and treatments so the hospital's staff can take care of the patients.

Mitochondria

Cytoplasm

Animal Cell and Hospital

The mitochondria of the cell acts like the hospital's generators. Mitochondria are known to be the "powerhouses" of the cell, it creates the cell's primary energy source. Just like how the generators are used to supply the necessary energy.

Cytoplasm is the substance that fills the cell, which gives a cell its shape. It helps to fill out the cell and keeps organelles in their place. Also, everything transported into or out of a cell, usually must go through the cytoplasm. Just like board of the hospital, the board makes all decisions of the hospital. Everything must go through the consult of the board.

Osmosis

Diffusion

Osmosis is the movement of a solvent/water molecules across a cell membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a high solute concentration. In animals, it influences the distribution of nutrients and the release of metabolic waste product. In a hospital osmosis would represent the waiting room because when a nurse/surgeon (the solvent) enters the room, all the waiting families crowd around the nurse and creates a “higher concentration” in the room.

Diffusion is a movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It creates energy and helps in the exchange of gases. Diffusion is used in transporting food, waste and other substances in and out of the cells. In a hospital diffusion would represent the trauma room because when a trauma occurs a group of injured people (the particles) that enter the room all at the same time which creates a “higher concentration” in the room.

Cells are a very important factor in all living organisms; everything would die without them, whether it's plant or animal cells. Different types of animal cells makes up the organs in your body, such as your heart. Hospitals are also a very important factor in our world, because it saves people's lives. Therefore an animal cell is similar to a hospital.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Lysosome

The lysosome would be compared with hospital's janitor and the bed pan cleaner. Lysosomes hold enzymes that were created by the cell. The purpose of the lysosome is to "clean up" all of the bad bacteria so that it can't infect the cell.

A janitorial staff ensure

that the rooms, beds etc.

are disinfected to prevent

the spread of germs and

diseases.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum transports materials through the cell and produces proteins. There are also ribosomes attached to the surface, giving it the rough appearance. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is like the hospital rooms, because the doctors (the ribosomes) are usually in them.

Ribosomes

Cytoskeleton

The cytoskeleton is similar to the hospital's framing and interior walls. Cytoskeleton adds interior support to the cell, just like how the framing of the hospital's maintains the hospital's structure.

Ribosomes are similar to the doctors and nurses of the hospital. Ribosomes are the protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell. They help aid the proteins in amino acis chains. The doctors aid the patients by giving the medicines and treatments.

Vacuole

Centrioles

Vacuoles store nutrients a cell might need to survive and releases waste from the cell. I compared vacuoles to the hospital's boiler room because they both store water.

The centrioles of a cell are groups of microtubes, that are apart of the cytoskeleton. They are used to help the cell expand. I compared this to the hospital's architect and builders that expand the hospital's facilities.
