Question
Answer
anatomy   the study of the form and structure of an organism  
🗑
physiology   the study of the processes of living organisms, or why and how they work  
🗑
pathophysiology   the study of how disease occurs and the responses of living organisms to disease processes  
🗑
protoplasm   the basic substance of life  
🗑
cell   protoplasm forms the basic unit of structure and function in all living things; microscopic structures that carry on all the functions of life  
🗑
cell membrane   the outer protective covering of the cell; also called the plasma membrane or plasmalemma  
🗑
cytoplasm   a semifluid inside the cell but outside the nucleus; contains 70-90% water, proteins, lipids (fats), carbohydrates, minerals, and salts.  
🗑
organelles   cell structures that help a cell function, are located in the cytoplasm; the main organelles are the nucleus, mitochondria, ridosomes, lysosomes, centrioles, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
nucleus   mass in the cytoplasm;separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear membrane that contains pores to allow substances to pass between the nucleus & cytoplasm;also the brain of the cell b\c it controls many cell activities  
🗑
nucleolus   one or more small round bodies located inside the nucleus and important in cell reproduction  
🗑
chromatin   located in the nucleus and made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein  
🗑
genes   the structures that carry inherited characteristics  
🗑
genome   the total mass of genetic instruction humans inherit from their parents  
🗑
centrosome   located in the cytoplasm and near the nucleus  
🗑
mitochondria   rod-shaped organelles located throughout the cytoplasm; called the furnaces or powerhouses of the cell because they break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP)  
🗑
ATP   adenosine triphosphate is the major energy source of the cell  
🗑
Golgi apparatus   a stack of membrane layers located in the cytoplasm. produces, stroes, and packages secretions for discharge from the cell  
🗑
endoplasmic reticulum   a fine network of tubular structures located in the cytoplasm. allows for for the transport of materials into and out of the nucleus, and also aides in teh synthesis and storage of proteins.  
🗑
rough endoplasmic reticulum   contains ribosomes, which are the sites for protein synthesis (production)  
🗑
smooth endoplasmic reticulum   does not contain ribosomes and is not present in all cells  
🗑
vacuoles   pouchlike structures found throughout the cytoplasm that have a vacuolar membrane with the same structure as the cell membrane; filled with watery substances, stored food, or waste products  
🗑
lysosomes   oval or round bodies found throughout the cytoplasm. contains digestive enzymes that digest and destroy old cells, bacteria , and foreign materials, an important function of the body's immune system  
🗑
pinocytic vesicles   pocketlike folds in the cell membrane; allow large molecules such as proteins and fats to enter the cell  
🗑
mitosis   most cells reproduce by dividing into two identical cells; a form of asexual reproduction  
🗑
meiosis   sex cells (gametes) divide. two separate cell division  
🗑
ova   female cells  
🗑
spermatozoa or spem   male cells  
🗑
zygote   when an ovum and sperm join to create a new life the new ce;; has 46 chroosomes  
🗑
stem cells   the ability to transform themselves into any of the body's specialized cells and perform many different functions. also located in blastocyst  
🗑
blastocyst   a hollow ball-like mass of cells  
🗑
tissue   when cells of the same type join together for a common purpose; are 60-90% water with various dissolved substances. water is salty & is called tissue fluid  
🗑
dehydration   an insufficient amount of tissue fluid  
🗑
edema   an excess amount of tissue fluid swelling of the tissue occurs  
🗑
types of muscle tissues   epithelial, connective, nerve, and muscle  
🗑
epithelial tissue   covers the surface of the body and is the main tissue in the skin  
🗑
connective tissue   the supporting fabric of organs and other body parts; two main classes soft and hard  
🗑
nerve tissue   made up of special cells called neurons  
🗑
muscle tissue   produces power and movement by contraction of muscle fibers; three main kinds skeletal, cardiac, and visceral (smooth)  
🗑
organ   two or more tissues joined together to perform a specific function  
🗑
system   organs and other body parts joined together to perform a particular function; basic systems integumentary, skeletal, muscular, cirulatory, lymphatic, nervous, respiratory, digestive, urinary (excretory), endcrine, and reproductive  
🗑


   

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.
