Cell and Tissue
Question | Answer |
---|---|
cell | the unit of structure and function of which all plants and animals are composed. |
What is the division of Labor in higher organisms? | Cell, Tissue, Organ, System and body |
Cytology. | The study of cells is called Cytology |
List and describe the six functions of life? | 1) Respiration –2) Response to stimuli-3) Reproduction-4) Ingestion, digestion-5) Movement-6) Metabolism – |
Respiration – | the use of oxygen by the cell resulting in a release of energy. |
Response to stimuli- | adapting to limited changes in their external and internal environment. |
Reproduction- | production of new cells. |
Ingestion, | digestion, assimilation of nutrients and excretion of residue. |
Movement- | through hair like extensions called cilia or flagella. |
Metabolism | The sum of all p0hysical and chemical changes that take place within an organism. |
What are the two processes that involves metabolism? | a) Catabolism-b) Anabolism – |
Catabolism- | the tearing down process, the breakdown of substances, the end products usually being excreted. |
Anabolism | – the building up process, the conversion of ingested substances into the constituents of protoplasm |
What are the functions of cell membrane? | This structure separates the cell from the outside environment and retains internal structure. It also permits exportation and importation of materials. The cell membrane is a semi-permeable in that it is selective of what it allows in and out. |
What is Diffusion? | Transfer of a substance through a membrane is called diffusion |
What is the difference between osmosis and dialysis? | Transfer of a substance through a membrane is called diffusion. If it is a liquid it may be called osmosis or if it is a solid it may be called dialysis. |
Osmosis: | If the transfer of a substance through a membrane is liquid is called Osmosis |
Dialysis: | If the transfer of a substance through a membrane is solid is called Dialysis. |
Semi-permeable: | Cell membrane is selective of what it allows in and out. |
Organelles: | A specialized part of a cell that performs a specific function. |
Cell membrane | this structure separates the cell from the outside environment and retains internal structure. |
Protoplasm | The substance contained within the cell membrane |
What are the two parts of the protoplasm? | a) Cytoplasm-b) Nucleoplasm |
Cytoplasm | The substance between the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane |
Nucleoplasm | The substance within the nuclear membrane |
What is Nucleus and what does it contain? | The vital body in the protoplasm, responsible in the growth, metabolism and reproduction of the cell. The nucleus contains the genetic material (deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA) of the cell. |
What are the main cell structures? | A) Cell membrane b) protoplasm c) nucleus d) organelles |
Golgi complex | collects secretory products and packages them for export. |
Lysosome | container of enzymes with great capacity to breakdown structure. |
Centriole | rise to spindles used by migrating chromatids during cell division. |
Rough ER | transports protein synthesized at the ribosome. |
Mitochondria | energy for cell operations is generated here |
Vacuole | membrane lined containers that can merge with one another. |
Smooth ER | synthesizes complex molecules called steroids in some cells |
Ribosome | the site of protein synthesis |
What kinds of Endoplasmic reticulum do we have | a) Rough-b) Smooth |
Rough | transports protein synthesized at the ribosomes. |
Smooth | synthesizes complex molecules called steroids in some cells; stores calcium ions in muscle; breaks down toxins in the liver. |
What are the three types of cell reproduction | Amitosis-Mitosis-Meiosis |
Amitosis is also known as | direct cell division or binary fission |
Amitosis;the results, where do they occurs and what requires | 2 daughter cells identical to parent — Bacteria—known as direct cell division or binary fission |
Mitosis; the results, where do they occurs | 2 daughter cells identical to parent with the same numbers of chromosomes—human body cells (skin, hair, nails)—requires a series of steps called IPMAT |
Meiosis; the results, where do they occurs | 4 daughter cells with ½ chromosomes as parent—sex cells (ova/sperm)—requires 2 sets of steps IPMAT*2 |
Tissue | A group of similar cells acting together to perform a specific function. |
histology | The study of tissues |
the four types of body tissues | A) EpithelialB) ConnectiveC) Muscle D) Nervous |
Epithelial | It forms a shield to protect body. And if forms the body’s surface (skin), the surfaces of the body’s cavities and their contained viscera, glands, and all tubular organs, e.g. ducts and vessels. |
Connective | connects, binds and supports body structures. Fat, bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, blood and lymph are examples. |
Muscle: | consists of cells that contract to produce movement due to nervous stimulation. Muscle tissue is classified according to its location. |
Nervous | It takes the massage to the brain for feeling of pain and so on. Makes up the nervous system consisting of the brain, spinal cord, sense organs, and all nerves. |
three types of epithelial tissue | A) Simple epitheliumB) Stratified epitheliumC) Glandular epithelium |
Simple epithelium: | One cell thick-Functions in filtration, diffusion, secretion and absorption-Found in the capillaries, in the air cells in the lungs or in theFiltration capsules in the kidneys. |
Stratified epithelium | Many cells thick -Resistant to wear and tear due to a ready replacement of cells Found lining the cavities (oral cavity) of the body as well as Covering the body (epidermis) |
Glandular epithelium | Groups of glandular cells Glandular cells produce and secrete/excrete materials of Varying composition Sweat, milk sebum, hormones |
three types of connective tissue fibers found in the skin | A) CollagenB) Elastin(elastic fibers) C)Reticular fibers |
Collagen | fibers allow for great strength(bone or cartilage) and also retain water(skin) |
Elastin(elastic fibers): | Allow for extensibility and elasticity(cartilage) |
Reticular fibers | form a very fine meshwork of support for delicate structures such as capillaries |
three types of muscle tissue | A)StriatedB)Non striated or smoothC)Cardiac |
Striated | attached to bone and allows for skeletal movement— under voluntary control—biceps, triceps |
Non striated or smooth muscle tissue | Found in the walls of internal organs—under involuntary control—uterus, digestive tract |
Cardiac muscle tissue | Makes up the heart and muscle—under involuntary control—allows for heart contractions |
Turgor | The term is used for the moisture content of the skin in connective tissue of collagen fibers |
Tonus | The term used for the elasticity, or tone, of the skin in connective Tissue in Elastin |
What is the function of the nervous tissue and do they reproduce? | The function of the nervous tissue is reception and response to stimuli, the functional cells (neurons) do not reproduce therefore injuries to nervous tissue may result in permanent damage |
Mucous Membrane | Lines cavities open to the exterior of the body. Secretes mucous for moisture, e.g. oral cavity, nasal cavity |
Serous membrane | prevents friction between internal organs. Lines closed body cavities—secretes serous fluid |
Cutaneous membrane | covers the outside of the body—secretes sebum—prevents moisture loss form the skin |
Synovial membrane | lubricates joints—Lines joint cavities—secretes Synovial fluid |
body system | Each body system consists of groups of organs related to each other and functions together in the performance of certain functions |
List the ten body Systems? (Remember CRIME NERDS) | Circulatory-Respiratory-Integumentary-Muscular-Endocrine-Nervous-Excretory-Reproductive-Digestive-Skeletal |
Integumentary | the skin and its appendages (hair, nails, and glands) |
Skeletal | Bones |
Muscular | muscles |
Nervous | the central and peripheral nervous systems |
Circulatory | the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems |
Endocrine | the hormone producing glands |
Excretory | the organs that eliminate the body’s wastes |
Respiratory | the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide |
Digestive | the nourishment of the body |
Reproductive | the organs involved in reproduction |
