Term
Definition
cell   most basic unit of life. Considered the building block of the human body  
🗑
3 components of cells   1. cell membrane 2. cytoplasm 3. nucleus  
🗑
cell membrane   -has receptors that identify cell (lock and key) -helps in communication between cells -regulates movement in and out of cell -some have cilia or flagella  
🗑
cytoplasm   fluid inside cell that contains organelles  
🗑
nucleus   -controls every organelle in cytoplasm -contains chromatin -DNA is contained in chromosomes of the cell  
🗑
Endoplasmic Retuiculum   -organelle 1. rough - ribosomes attached 2. smooth - no ribosomes - responsible for transporting protein  
🗑
ribosomes   -organelle -protein factory of the cell that are responsible for transporting proteins  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   -organelle -tiny flattened sacs that help process and package chemicals in the cell  
🗑
Mitochondria   -organelle -"powerhouse" of the cell, responsible for the production of ATP  
🗑
Lysosomes   -organelle -digestive bags in the cell  
🗑
centrioles   -organelle -small paired rods important in cellular division  
🗑
DNA   -mandatory for cell reproduction -provides the cell's genetic make-up  
🗑
interstitial fluid   makes up empty space between cells  
🗑
cell division   mitosis and cytokinesis  
🗑
5 stages of Mitosis   1. Prophase 2. Prometaphase 3. Metaphase 4. Anaphase 5. Telophase  
🗑
Prophase   centrioles have replicated, moved to opposite ends of the cell creating spindle fibers between them  
🗑
Prometaphase   centrioles move to the poles of the cell  
🗑
Metaphase   Chromosomes move to the middle and line up along the center of the cell  
🗑
Anaphase   2 daughter chromosomes (chromatids) move to the opposite ends  
🗑
Telophase   cytoplasm division occurs and mitosis is completed  
🗑
epithelial tissue   covers the body and lines many parts of the body1.  
🗑
connective tissue   most abundant and widely distributed tissue in the body  
🗑
3 types of muscle tissue   1. voluntary / striated 2. Involuntary / smooth 3. cardiac  
🗑
nerve tissue   allows rapid communication between various parts of the body  
🗑
3 types of passive transport (does not require energy)   1. diffusion 2. osmosis 3. filtration  
🗑
diffusion   - type of passive transport - substance scatters throughout available space  
🗑
osmosis   - type of passive transport - water moves from area of high concentration to area of low concentration  
🗑
filtration   - type of passive transport - requires form of pressure - movement of water and solutes due to hudrostatic pressure  
🗑
2 types of active transport (requires energy)   1. phagocytosis (eats) 2. pinocytosis (drinks)  
🗑
phagocytosis   cell engulfs or "eats" solid particles such as bacteria  
🗑
pinocytosis   "drinks"  
🗑
genetics   study of the hereditary make-up of animals and plants  
🗑
genes   made up of DNA  
🗑
Genetic disorders   1. albinism 2. color deficiency 3. hemophilia  
🗑
albinism   - genetic disorder - congenital but non-pathological disorder -recessive gene mutation causes lack of pigment in hair, skin, and nails  
🗑
color deficiency   - AKA color blindness - genetic disorder - difficulty in distinguishing reds and greens - inherited, sex-linked disorder usually passed from mother to son  
🗑
hemophilia   - genetic disorder - sex-linked disorder in which blood coagulation time is greatly increased  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
