| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| meiosis | the division of sex cells |
| cytoplasm | a semi-fluid inside a cell |
| endoplasmic reticulum | a fine network of tubular structures located in the cytoplasm |
| golgi apparatus | a stack of membrane layers located in the cytoplasm |
| muscle tissue | produces power and movement by contraction of muscle fibers such as skeletal, cardiac and visceral |
| physiology | the study of the processes of human beings/living organisms and how they work |
| nucleolus | located inside the nucleus and is important in cell reproduction. its where ribosomes are made |
| cell | protoplasm forms this basic unit of structure and function in all things |
| mitosis | when cells reproduce by dividing into two identical cells |
| lysosomes | oval or round bodies found throughout the cytoplasm. contains digestive enzymes that digest and destroy old cells, bacteria, and foreign material |

| cell membrane | the outer protective covering of a cell |
| nucleus | controls cell activities and is important in cell division |
| edema | causes swelling of tissues due to an excess amount of tissue fluids |
| pathophysiology | the study of how disease occurs and the responses of living organisms to disease processes |
| pinocytic vesicles | pocketlike fold in the cell membrane. allows large molecules like proteins and fats to enter the cell |
| connective tissue | the supporting fabric of the organs and other body parts |
| system | organs and other body partsjoined together to perform a particular function |
| anatomy | the study of the form and structure of an organism |
| centrosome | located in the cytoplasm and is near the nucleus. contains two centrioles |
| protoplasm | the basic substance of all life |
| dehydration | a condition in which there is and insufficient amount of fluid in the body |
| chromatin | located in the nucleus and made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein |
| tissue | what forms when cells of the same type join together for a common purpose |
| mitochondria | rod shaped organelleslocated througout the cytoplasm |
| nerve tissue | made up of special cells (neurons). controls and coordinates body activities by transmitting messages throughout the body |
