Question
Answer
cells (cyte-)   basic unit of structure; a living factory  
🗑
cell membrane   semipermeable boundary that serves as a doorway to the cell  
🗑
nucleus   control center that contains chromosomes (23 pair: 22 body 1 sex), genes, RNA, and DNA  
🗑
cytoplasm   cell substance that contains organelles (little organs)  
🗑
(cytoplasm)Mitochondria   cell "batteries" that store energy  
🗑
(cytoplasm)Lysosomes(some: body; lyso: dissolve)   carry out digestive functions of the cell  
🗑
(cytoplasm)Golgo apparatus   makes secretions  
🗑
(cytoplasm)Endoplamic reticulum   transport system and protien synthesis  
🗑
(cytoplasm)Cilia (flagella)   hairlike extensions responsible for motility (movement of the cell itself or fluid around the cell)  
🗑
Transport across the cell membrane DIFFUSION (spreading out)   molecules moving to a less concentrated area, as oxygen moving from aveoli in the lungs into capillaries  
🗑
Transport across the cell membrane OSMOSIS   DIFFUSION OF WATER MOLECULESACROSS A SEMIPERMEABLE MEMBRANE TO A CONCENTRATED AREA FOR THE PURPOSE OF DILUTION  
🗑
Transport across the cell membrane FILTRATION   movement of molecules through a filter or a semipermeable membrane as a result of pressure  
🗑
Transport across the cell membrane ACTIVE TRANSPORT   use of energy to move molecules across a membrane to a higher concentration  
🗑
some cells are also capable of   phagocytosis (cell eating) and pinocytosis (cell drinking) as in the case of white blood cells engulphingbacteria and proximal kidney tubules reabsorbing filtered protiens  
🗑
Cell Division   some cells, such as RBC and nerve cells do not divide or reproduce  
🗑
Body tissues   collection of specialized cells designed for a special function  
🗑
epithelial tissue   lines (cavities and vessel, covers (body and organs), and secretes (glandular)  
🗑
epithelial cells are named by their shape   squamous (simple squamous and stratified squamous), cubodial, columnar  
🗑
simple squamous   covers surface of pleura, peritoneum, and pericardium and lines the blood vessels  
🗑
stratified squamous   skin, lines mouth and esophagus  
🗑
cubodial (epithelial tissue   lines the surface of kidney, tubules and covers ovaries  
🗑
columnar   lines the stomach, intestines, and part of the respiratory tract  
🗑
Body tissue may be   ciliated (contain hairlike cilia designed to move fluid) or non-ciliated  
🗑
Body tissue   regenerates readily and heals quickly  
🗑
Body tissue is   innervated and capable of sensations  
🗑
In surgery body tissue   is generally sutured with absorbable sutures (exception the skin)  
🗑
cancer of the epithelial tissue is   carcinoma (basal cell or squamous cell)  
🗑
two types of body tissue membranes   mucous membranes and serous membranes  
🗑
Mocous Membranes   lines cavities leading to outside, such as GI tract, GU tract, and respiratory tract  
🗑
Serous Membranes   lines enclosed cavities such as the peritoneum (lines abdomen), pericardium (sac that encloses heart) and pleura (lines chest)  
🗑
Connective Tissue   most variable and widespread tissue in the body  
🗑
connective tissue has three functions   Binds, Protects and Supports  
🗑
6 types of connective tissue   1. Adipose (fat), 2. Fibrous (fascia), 3. Cartilage (chondra), 4. Bone (osseous tissue)5. Reticular (netlike), 6. Areolar  
🗑
Adipose Tissue (fat)   connective tissue that has a poor blood supply and is generally sutured with absorbable materials  
🗑
Fibrous Tissue (fascia)   tough connective tissue - composes sheaths, covering joints, muscles, meninges (coverings of the brain and spinal cord), synovium (lining of the synovial joints), scar tissue, tendons, and ligaments  
🗑
Cartilage (chondra)   elastic tissue (gristle) that has little blood supply  
🗑
Bone   corticle (compact)and cancellous (spongy  
🗑
Corticle bone (compact)   bone cells arranged in concentric circles around central (haversion) canals; make up shell of bone to provide strength and support and covered by periosteum  
🗑
Cancellous Bone (spongy)   bone contains spaces with red marrow for making blood cells  
🗑
reticular (net like)   blood and lymph tissue  
🗑
areolar   loose connective tissue that fills spaces and helps to hold organs in place  
🗑
3 types of muscle tissue   1. skeletal, 2. smooth, 3. cardiac  
🗑
skeletal muscle   striated, voluntary  
🗑
smooth muscle   visceral (found in such organs as blood vessels and bladder), involuntary  
🗑
cardiac muscle   striated, involuntary  
🗑
nerve tissue   most highly specialized tissue  
🗑
nerve tissue is found in   nerves, brain and spinal cord  
🗑
neurons(nerve cells)   basic unit of structure in the nervous system; made up of dendrites, cell body, and axon  
🗑
dendrites   cell extensions that receive nerve impulses  
🗑
axon   extension of the cell that conducts impulses away from the cell body)  
🗑
neuroglia (schwann cells)   non conductive covering of peripheral nerves which provide nutrition and protection, make up the myelin sheath for the neurons and gives nerves a white glistening appearance  
🗑
nerve tissue coordinates and integrates   BODY FUNCTION  
🗑
Body organs   composed of different types of tissues and perform specific functions (liver, heart)  
🗑
Body System   composed of different organs working together to perform specific functions  
🗑


   

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.
