MCAT NeuraPump: The Cell Factory Boogie

MCAT NeuraPump: The Cell Factory Boogie

If your body’s a castle, then your cells are the dance halls — powered by NeuraPump.

▶ If your body’s an art, then your cells are the da...

"Welcome to the tiniest dance floor hive,

Where cells boogie just to stay alive!

DNA sings, mitochondria roar—

The whole cell’s a Broadway enco-encore!"

Here comes NUCLEUS in velvet crown,

With scrolls of genes he passes down!

He yells, "Transcribe!" 

Let mRNA spin!

His transcription dance begins within!

“Instruction king, but can't dance alone—

he delegates like a bureaucratic chromosome.” What?

On the ER floor, the dots go wild,

Ribosomes synthesize in style.

"Polypeptide train incoming fast!"

“Hope that sequence ain’t my last!”

"I fold under pressure — literally."

The good Golgi preps them for the ball,

Says, "Glycosylate ‘em, tag ‘em all!"

He vesicle-wraps each guest with flair,

Then ships them off — first class with air!

Protein modification & packaging.

“We don’t do refunds — only reroutes!”

Fusion DJs blast the beat,

Exported proteins tap their feet!

"Endo in, exo out,"

Membrane bouncers never pout.

"Selective permeability? We call that cell security." 🔒

Mito walks in with EDM flair,

Says, “ATP’s dropping everywhere!”

Fuel from food, power on demand,

Just don’t forget — your Mom gave me a hand.

"You got your looks from Dad, your engines from me."

Energy conversion, maternal inheritance.

"We’re the cleanup crew of cell-town pride,

Digesting what the others hide."

From faulty parts to virus grime,

We break it down in enzyme time!

"Apoptosis? That’s just our curtain call."

Intracellular digestion, immune cleanup.

Smooth ER spins the lipids fine,

Hormone chef with oily shine.

And centrosome?

The mitotic DJ,

Spins spindle poles like night and day!

"No dots, but still hot — Smooth ER got that silky plot."

We scaffold, shuttle, shift, and slide—

The cytoskeleton knows how to glide.

Tubulin rails, actin threads,

We move the crowd and form the beds.

"We’re the bones of the operation — minus the calcium."

Microtubules, actin, intermediate filaments.

One cell, one show, a trillion times,

Every second, a dance that rhymes.

So spin that knowledge, belt it loud,

NeuraPump's gonna make you proud!

"ER, Golgi, lysosome lane—

They all keep groovin’ in your brain!"
