Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Cancer cells can arise in a variety of ways, the most common, however, tends to be genetic mutations.

Genetic mutations can occur during the life of a cell due to outside factors such as:

The food we eat
The environment we expose the cell to
The substances that touch the cell (e.g skin cells)

That being said, the most common time for a genetic mutation to take place is during cellular division. During this time the DNA that encodes the cells is duplicated. Genetic mutations in this DNA sometimes cause the elimination of programmed cell death.

Programmed cell death is what tells a cell when it should stop growing and dividing. This is a regulatory function designed to keep the number of cells at a balance, growing only when needed. As this cell multiplies, this produces an increasing number of cells that will not die. The accumulation of these cells is referred to as cancer.

blsea [12.9K]

Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors so they respond only at the onset and offset of the stimulus. The Pacinian corpuscle has a single afferent nerve fiber. Its end is covered by a sensitive receptor membrane whose sodium channels will open when the membrane is deformed in any way. Pressure thus causes sodium to enter the neuron and create a generator potential. If this potential reaches a certain threshold nerve impulses are formed. This impulse is now transferred along the axon with the use of sodium channels and sodium/potassium pumps in the axon membrane. The magnitude of the stimulus is encoded in the frequency of impulses generated in the neuron. So the more massive or rapid the deformation of a single corpuscle, the higher the frequency of nerve impulses generated in its neuron.
