cells that work together for a common purpose | tissue |
extracellular matrix( stuff that surrounds the cell) in tissue is formed by | elastic and collagen ( both secreted from fibroblasts) |

_____ anchors desosomes, making them the strongest junction of the 3 | cytoskeleton |
Not a membrane bound organelle? | Ribosomes |
Methods of communication are | neurotransmitters, hormones, local mediators |
What 3 systems govern communication in the cell | nervous system; paracrine system; endocrine system |
Neuronal communication tends to be | Rapid; direct; specific |
hormonal communication tends to be | slower, spread throughout the body, affect many cells and tissues |
Parracrine system | uses local mediatorsin the interstitial fluid |
____ can be amino acid derivatives, proteins, or fatty acids | local mediators |
____ is not dependent in insulin to move glucose from blood into the cytoplasm of a cell via facilliated transport | neuron |
_____receive signals | dendrites |
_____generate action potentials | axon hillock |
_____carries an action potential to the synapse | axon |
Most neurons of the brain are | multipolar |
neurons that are in Retina, inner ear, olfactory area of the brain | bipolar |
neurons that are sensory only | unipolar |
inside cell = negative ; 3 Na+ pumped out (interstitial fluid) and 2 K+ pumped into cell (cytosol) | Resting potential |
inside cell= positive ; outside cell= negative; Na+ is higher inside cell | Depolarization |
Inside Cell= more negative; K+ moves out of cell | Repolarization |
Inside cell= more negative than resting potential; due to pottasium channels being slow to close | Hyperpolarization |
Na+/K+ pump | used to make the inside of the cell more negative than the outside |
Accomodation | when threshhold stmulus is reached, but occurs very slowly, action potential may NOT occur |
Absolute Refractory period | no stimulus will create another action potential once an action potential has begun |
Relative refractory period | gives the time during which only a VERY large stimulus will create an action potential |
The slowest part of the process of the nervous system | synapse (impulse going from one cell to another) |
electrical synapses are uncommon and are ______ than chemical synapses | faster & bidirectional |
Chemical synapse= | unidirectional |
