1. How do you think the body repairs an injury, such as a cut on a finger?
The cut is repaired by the production of new cells through cell division.
2. How long do you think this repair process continues?
Cell division continues until the cut is repaired.
3. What do you think causes the cells to stop the repair process?
Students will likely say that when the cut is filled in, there is no room for more cells to grow.
Knowing When to Stop
Suppose you had a paper cut on your finger. Although the cut may have bled and stung a little, after a few days, it will have disappeared, and your finger would be as good as new.

Go to Section:
Control of Cell Division
Section 10-3
Cells grow until they touch other cells
If center cells are removed,cells near the space will start to grow again.
SHOWS: Cell division genes can be turned on and off
CELL DIVISION GENES
EXAMPLE: Cell division genes can be ________ in case of injury.
Cells near injury are stimulated to divideto heal and replacedamaged/missing cells and shut off when the repair has been made.

CELL DIVISION GENES
Some cells divide frequently(some human skin cells divide once/hour)
Some cells divide occasionally (liver cells divide about once/year)
Some cells don’t divide once they form (nerve cells)
In early 1980’s scientists discovered aprotein in dividing cells that caused a ______________to form in
_______________ cells
CELL CYCLE REGULATORS
Mitotic spindleNON-dividing
Pearson Education Inc; Publishing as Pearson Prentice Hall
Levels of this protein rose and fell withthe cell cycle so it was named__________ because it seemed tocontrol the cell cycle.
A whole family ofCYCLINS have since beendiscovered that regulate the_____________________in EUKARYOTIC CELLS

TIMING of CELL CYCLE
Pearson Education Inc; Publishing as Pearson Prentice Hall
______________ REGULATORSProteins that respond to events insidethe cell.
Allow cell cycle to proceed only if certain processes have happened
EX: Cell can’t enter mitosis until all thechromosomes have been copied
OTHER REGULATORSINTERNAL
______________ REGULATORSProteins that respond to events outsidethe cell.
Signals tell cell to speed up or slow down the cell cycle
EX: Growth factors stimulate cells to divideEspecially important duringwound healing and embryo development
OTHER REGULATORSEXTERNAL

Molecules on the surface of neighboringcells act as signals to slow down or stop thecell’s cycle.
These signals preventexcessive growth andkeep tissues from disrupting each other.

Cancer cells don’t stopwhen they touch nearbycells. . . they just keep growing!
That’s what makesa tumor.

many causes, but all cancers have one thing in common . . .…
They have lost control over their _____________.
Many cancers cells have a damaged or defective
gene called _____, so they can’t respond tonormal cell signals to control their growth.
