Are organs, such as muscles or glands, that directly influence controlled physiological variables.

Regulates homeostasis by secreting signaling hormones that travel through internal environment to effector cells.

Are the most abundant lipids, and they function as the body’s most concentrated source of energy.

Steroid found in the plasma membrane surrounding every body cell.

Refers to a natural phenomenon caused by the tendency of small particles to spread out evenly within any given space

The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane.

The complete set of proteins synthesized by a cell.

Splitting of the plasma membrane and cytoplasm into two.

Elastic fibers are made of a protein.

Tissues usually repair themselves by allowing phagocytic cells to remove dead or injured cells and then filling in the gaps that are left.

Are fibrous bands that help hold the various bones together into an organized skeleton.

The largest sesamoid bone in the body.

Are joints in which fibrous bands (ligaments) connect two bones.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

The energy required for muscular contraction or any other kind of work by the cell is obtained by hydrolysis of a nucleotide.
