  1. Cancer How the cells divide How the cells spread By Morgan Fusca & Mackenzie Gillen

  2. What does the term “homo sapien” mean? • The word “homo” means man • The word “sapien” means intelligent • So, the term “homo sapien” means intelligent man

  3. Cancer Cells never stop reproducing • Normal cells continue to reproduce only to a certain point; cancer cells double when reproducing • example: they go from 1 cell, to 2, to 4, to 8, to 16, etc. • This picture shows how cancer cells keep on producing from a tumor

  4. Normal Cell The Difference in the Cells Cancer Cell (AP John Institute for Cancer Research)

  6. They don’t obey signals from other cells • Something in cancer cells defects the signaling between the cells • Because this happens, the cells don’t stop doubling

  7. Cancer cells don’t stick together • Cancer cells lose the molecules that are on their surfaces when they are infused with the tumor • These molecules that they lose are the ones that keep the cells in place

  8. The Growth Process • Cancer cells do not need a stimulator to indicate the “go ahead” for the cells to grow

  9. How does Cancer spread? • Cancer spreads through the following ways: • Through blood circulation • Local Spread • Through the lymphatic system

  10. Spreads through blood circulation • When in circulation, the cancer cell will try to attach to the surrounding cells • They also may try to stick to platelets, or “an irregular, disc-shaped element in the blood that assists in blood clotting”, and try and form clumps

  11. Spread through local spreading • The cancer moves to nearby body systems • Spreads through the tissues and continues to push its way through and travel through the body

  12. Through The Lymphatic System • Spreads similarly to the way • cancer spreads through the • blood stream • The cancer must first detach from the tumor and then find its way through

  13. Cancer in the World Today • Cancer is a worldwide devastation to many people and families • The statistics show how much our world is effected everyday all around us

  14. Mitosis • Single cell divides making identical cells each • Same number of chromosomes as the original cell • Stages

  15. Prophase • Thenuclear envelope splits • Forms chromatin • Condenses chromosomes

  16. Metaphase • Condensed chromosomes align before being separated

  17. Anaphase • Chromosomes split • Sister chromatids move away

  18. Telophase • Separatedchromosomes go to the other end • Nuclei forms around chromosomes

  19. Cytokinesis • The cytoplasm divides

  20. Stage 1 • Small and not stress worthy • Removable?

  21. Stage 2 • disease is a little worse • bigger but in the same spot

  22. Stage 3 • Cancer is a great deal bigger • Split into more tumors in same spot • Chance to grow into tissue

  23. Stage 4 • Metastatic cancer • What happens to these cells • If remains untreated..
