| anterior | relating to the front of the body |
| apical | relating to the tip of a structure |
| Biology | The scientific study of life. |
| anabolism | The process of building up larger molecules from smaller ones, requiring energy. |
| dehydration synthesis | A chemical reaction that involves the loss of water from the reacting molecules. |
| hydrolysis | A chemical reaction in which water is used to break down a compound. |
| Neutrons | Subatomic particles with no charge |
| Electrons | Subatomic particles with a negative charge |
| Protons | Subatomic particles with a positive charge |
| Microfilaments | Thin, twisted strands of protein molecules that serve as part of the cellular muscles. |
| Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) | A type of RNA that, along with proteins, makes up the ribosomal subunits. |
| Cell Membrane Receptors | Proteins on cell membranes that respond to hormones; their dysfunction can lead to diseases. |
| Lumen | The cavity inside the RER network where polypeptide strands enter |
| Microtubule | Hollow tubes made of protein that help maintain cell shape and facilitate cell movement. |
| Smooth endoplasmic reticulum | Organelle involved in the synthesis of lipids and detoxification of drugs. |
| Vesicle | Small membrane-bound sac that transports substances within the cell. |
| Free ribosomes | Ribosomes that float freely in the cytoplasm and synthesize proteins for use within the cell |
| Plasma membrane | Serves as the boundary of the cell, maintaining its integrity; embedded with protein molecules that perform various functions. |
| Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | Network of canals and sacs extending from the nuclear envelope; may have ribosomes attached. |
| Rough ER | Synthesize polypeptides that enter the ER; ribosomes attached to it synthesize integral membrane proteins |
| Microvilli | Tiny, fingertip-like extensions that increase a cell's absorptive surface area. |
| Cilia | Moderate hairlike extensions of plasma membrane that move substances over the cell surface. |
| Flagella | Long hairlike extensions of plasma membrane that propel sperm cells. |
| Organelles | Membranous structures within the cytoplasm that perform specific functions. |
| collagen | most abundant kind of protein compound found in the body. |
| fibrocartilage. | strongest and most durable type of cartilage |
| reticular layer | one of the two layers of dermis which is thicker |
| epithelial and connective. | two major categories of body membranes |
| Storage tissue | adipose tissue |
| mucus | A lubricating substance produced by goblet cells |
| melanin | The basic determinant of skin color |
| patella | The largest sesamoid bone in the body |
| pubic symphysis | The joint between the pubic portions of each coxal bone |
| hyaline | The most common type of cartilage |
| radius and ulna | two bones that form the framework for the forearm |
| Spongy bone | open spaces partially filled by an assemblage of needle-like structures. |
| sternum | The medial part of the anterior chest wall is supported by a dagger-shaped bone |
| lacrimal | very small bone that lies just posterior and lateral to each nasal bone |
