TermDefinition
Anatomy The study of the structure of an organism.
Cell Mass of protoplasm; the basic unit of structure of all animals and plants.
Cell membrane Outer, protective, semipermeable covering of a cell.
Centrosome That area of cell cytoplasm that contains two centrioles; important in reproduction of the cell.
Chromatin A part of a cell located in the nucleolus and made of deoxyribonucleic acid and protein; during cell reproduction, condenses to form chromosomes.
Congenital Acquired during development of the infant in the uterus and present at birth.
Connective tissue Body tissue that connects, supports, or binds body organs.
Cytoplasm The fluid inside a cell: contains water, proteins, liquids, carbohydrates, minerals, and salts.
Degenerative Disease type, caused by a deterioration of the function or structure of the body tissue and organs either by normal body aging or lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise.
Dehydration Insufficient amounts of fluid in the tissue.
Diagnosis Determination of the nature of a person's disease.
Edema Swelling; excess amount of fluid in the tissues.
Endoplasmic reticulum Rine network of tubular structure in the cytoplasm, of a cell; allows for the transport of materials in and out of the nucleus and aids in the synthesis and storage of protein.
Epithelial tissue Tissue that forms the skin and parts of the secreting glands, and that lines the body cavities.
Etiology The study of the cause of a disease.
Genes The structures on chromosomes that carry inherited characteristics.
Genome The total mass of genetic instruction humans inherit from their parents.
Golgi apparatus That structure in the cytoplasm of a cell that produces, stores, and packages secretions for discharge from the cell.
Homeostasis A constant state of natural balance within the body.
Infectious Disease type, caused by a pathogenic organism such as a bacteria or virus.
Inherited A disease transmitted from parents to child genetically.
Lysosomes Those structures in the cytoplasm of a cell that contain digestive enzymes to digest and destroy old cells, bacteria, and foreign matter.
Meiosis The process of the cell division that occurs in gametes, or sex cells (Ovum and spermatozoa).
Mitochondria Those structures in a cell that provide energy and are involved in the metabolism of the cell.
Mitosis Process of asexual reproduction by which cells divide into two identical cells.
Muscle tissue Body tissue composed of fibers that produce movement.
Nerve tissue Body tissue that conducts or transmits impulses throughout the body.
Nucleolus The spherical body in the nucleolus of a cell that is important in reproduction of the cell.
Nucleus The structure in a cell that controls cell activities such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
Organ Body part made of tissues that have joined together to perform a special function.
Organelles Structures in the cytoplasm of a cell, including the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, lysosomes, and Golgi apparatus.
Pathophysiology Study of how disease occurs and the response of living organisms to disease processes.
Physiology The study of the processes or functions of living organisms.
Pinocytic vesicles Pocket like folds in the cell membrane that allow large molecules such as proteins and fats to enter the cell.
Prognosis Prediction regarding the probable outcome is a disease.
Protoplasm Thick, viscous substance that is the physical basis of all living things.
Stem cells Cells that are capable of becoming any of the specialized cells in the body; two main types include embryonic stem cells from a developing fetus and somatic or adult stem cells.
System A group of organs and other parts that work together to perform a certain function.
Tissue A group of similar cells that join together to perform a particular function.
Vacuoles Pouchlike structures found throughout the cytoplasm that have a vacuolar membrane with the same structure as the cell membrane.
