Cell and Tissue

QuestionAnswer
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
