Question
Answer
this part of the cell surrounds the cell, controls what enters/leaves the cell. double layer of phospholipid molecules tightly pack togheter.   cell membrane / plasma  
🗑
small structure located close to the nuclear membrane   centriole  
🗑
contains digestive enzymes to help phagocytes to digest bacteria and is responsible for autolysis of cells after their death   lysosome  
🗑
gel-like substance that surrounds all organelles outside the nucleus. contains enzymes that speed up (catalyze) biochemical reactions in the cell   cytoplasm  
🗑
contains the genetic material, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is organized into genes on chromosomes that controls protein synthesis   nucleus  
🗑
system of tubes and sacs studded with ribosomes on the external surface. Ribosomes are involved in the manufacture of membrane-bound proteins   smooth ER  
🗑
barrier separating the nuclear contents from the cytoplasm. facilitates and regulate the exchange of materials between the nucleus and the cytoplasm   nuclear membrane  
🗑
responsible for manufacturing proteins. some unattached in cytoplasm but more commonly attached to the surface of rough ER   ribosomes  
🗑
small organelle with a minor function facilitating transport in and out of cells (endocytosis and exocytosis)   vacuole  
🗑
flattened sacs that package proteins and carbohydrates into vesicles for export from the cell   Golgi apparatus  
🗑
cell's "powerhouse" because it produces energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which provides energy for muscle contraction, active transport and to build large molecules   mitochondrion  
🗑
are cell membranes fully or selectively permeable?   selectively permeable  
🗑
membrane-bound structures found in the cytoplasm   organelles  
🗑
what helps the cytoskeleton maintain its cell shape as a complex lattice structure   protein microtubules  
🗑
name the four classes of membrane in the human body   mucous, cutaneous, serous, synovial  
🗑
name the four main types of tissue   epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous  
🗑
primary organ of the integumentary system   skin  
🗑
part of the nervous system that links the central nervous system (CNS) with other systems and sense organs   peripheral nervous system (PNS)  
🗑
the system that acts as the body's chemical control center   endocrine  
🗑
one of this body system's vital functions   lymphatic  
🗑
the science of body structure   anatomy  
🗑
the study of body function   physiology  
🗑
"powerhouses" of the cell because they produce energy in the form of ATP   mitochondria  
🗑
genetic material (DNA) is found in which organelle?   nucleus  
🗑
structures within cells that perform cellular functions   organelles  
🗑
this cellular organelle is responsible for digesting exhausted cell components   lysosome  
🗑
study of cells   cytology  
🗑
study of tissues   histology  
🗑
blood is a what type of tissue?   connective  
🗑
a gland is a type of single specialized epithelial cell adapted for what?   secretion endocrine-hormones into circulation exocrine-into ducts or directly onto a free surface  
🗑
name the 10 major body systems   musculoskeletal integumentary nervous endocrine cardiovascular respiratory lymphatic/immune gastrointestinal urinary reproductive  
🗑
what are structures that form the cardiovascular system? cardiovascular system is the main system of transportation through the body. Name the three major substances necessary for life to cells that it transports   heart, arteries, veins and capillaries water, oxygen, nutrients  
🗑
an intraceullular, energy producing process that produces what?   cellular respiration -produces energy  
🗑
4 main components of the skeletal system   bones cartilage joints ligaments  
🗑
muscle action is classified as...   voluntary and involuntary  
🗑
two layers of the skin: name? function? outer? inner?   epidermis; protect underlying tissues dermis; provides strength and contains glands  
🗑
the hair follicles, sweat glands, nails and sensory receptors and all additional parts of which system?   integumentary  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
