Flap 1 Flap 2
Phospholipid Bilayer  Plasma membrane  
Nucleus  contains genetic material  
Separates cell from xtra cellular fluid  Cell membrane  
Cytoplasm  intracellular fluid that contains all other structures of the cell  
Cytosol  fluid part of cytosol  
Organelles  All mechanical structures of the cell outside the nucleus  
Integral Proteins  connect the external and internal cell environment, allows materials to pass through the membrane that are too large to fit or are not lipid soluble  
Periferal membrane  loosly bound to outside of memrane, functions as part of a group of proteins that make up a cytoskeleton  
glycolipids & glycoproteins  Membrane carbs that hold cells together to form tissues  
Nucleus  directs cell activity, contains genetic information  
Do red blood cells have a nucleus  NO  
How many nucleii do skeletal muscles have?  more than 1  
Nucleolus  involved in cell division, involved in production of & maturation of ribosomes  
rough Endoplasmic Reticulum  Comes directly off the nucleus, studded with ribosomes  
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum  No ribosome attachment, lipid production, holds calcium in skeletal muscle tissue  
Golgi Apparatus  The UPS of the cell, off of the ER, preps and packages proteins and lipids to send to other parts of the cell  
Vesicles  membranous sacs that move materials through the cell  
Lysosomes  The Euthanizers of the cell, contain powerful digestive enzymes, help to degrade intracellular debris, breakdown and dispose of organelles that are no longer working  
Peroxisomes  Mainly found in Liver, metabolize alcohol  
Ribosomes  Protein synthesis, some float free and others are attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum  
Vaults  Barrel shaped, transports molecules  
Centrioles  Bundles of protein filaments perpendicular to one another, must be present for cell division  
Cytoskeleton  gives the cell it's shape, flexible lattice of fibrous proteins  
Phagocytosis  pulling things into the cell to be ingested  
Tight junction  cells are fused together to form a virtually impermiable barrier, materials have to pass through the cells not around them, found in epithelial tissue, creates a barrier, GI Tract, Kidney tubules, stomach, skin  
Desmosomes  commonly found in tissues that recieve alot of stress, Heart, uterus & skin  
Gap Junction  Bi-directional junction that allows the cells to function as a unit, found in smooth muscle and heart muscle, only one cell needs to be stimulated which will inturn stimulate other cells in the junction  
Metabolism  All chemical functions that occur in the body  
Catabolism  break down of large molecules into smaller ones which releases energy  
Anabolism  build up of small molecules into larger ones, bone growth  
Things that determine what gets thru a cell  Lipid soluble, size of molecule, charge of ion, presence of integral protein  
Transcription  1st phase of protein synthesis  
DNA  genetic info of the cell, determines what proteins will be made by the cell, cannot exit the nucleus  
mRNA  single strand, transcribes data from DNA, exits nucleus & into the cytosol  
Translation  2nd phase of protein synthesis, occurs in cytosol  
tRNA  gathers appropriate amino acids to line up correctly per DNA  
rRNA  makes ribosomes, translates info on the mRNA, combines the amino acids and puts them in the correct order  
Somatic cell division  increase # of body cells, replace cells that have been destroyed or damaged  
Mitosis  nucleur cell division in somatic cell division  
Reproductive cell division  union of two cells to create a single cell - zygote  
meiosis  nucleus cell division in reproduction  
Cytokenisis  division of the rest of the cell (not nucleus)
