Question
Answer
Diffusion   molecules from greater to lesser concentrations  
🗑
osmosis   diffusion or movement of water through membrane  
🗑
active transport   molecules from lesser to greater concentration with the use of atp (opposite of diffusion)  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   MOLECULES FROM GREATER TO LESSER CONCENTRATION WITH THE HELP OF ENZYMES  
🗑
filtration   molecules and water from higher pressure to lower pressure areas with the energy of pressure NOT ATP  
🗑
phagocytosis   ingestion of a foreign substance WBC is moving  
🗑
pinocytosis   ingestion of a foreign substance WBC is stationary  
🗑
simple squamous   alveoli (air sacs) of lungs  
🗑
stratified squamous   epidermis of the skin, multiple layers, top = squamous  
🗑
transitional - urinary bladder   empty bladder - relaxed- higher structure height full bladder - stretched - lower structure height  
🗑
cell shapes   simple squamous, stratified squamous, transitional  
🗑
cell shapes   simple cuboidal, simple columnar, ciliated  
🗑
simple cuboidal   thyroid gland & salivary glands  
🗑
simple columnar   stomach lining; microvilli in the intestines for absorption  
🗑
ciliated   usually found in TRACHEA, sweeps object such as mucous  
🗑
what is a one cell gland   goblet cell  
🗑
endocrine glands   ductless secretes hormones  
🗑
exocrine glands   ducts secrete sweat gland, saliva gland  
🗑
nerve cell are   neuron transmits electro chemical impulses  
🗑
nerve cell identification and fxn   dendrite, cell body, axon  
🗑
dendrite   carries impulse to the cell body  
🗑
cell body   contains nucleus to regulate neuron fxn (the brain center)  
🗑
axon   carries impulse away from the cell body  
🗑
synapse   gap between dendrite of one cell and the axon of another cell  
🗑
connective tissue are   blood areolar connective tissue adipose fibrous connective tissue elastice connective tissue  
🗑
connective tissue - blood   cells, plasma - fxn trans materials hemopoietic tiss: blood froming organs ( RBC - carry oxygen bonded to hemoglobin WBC - destro pathogens by phagocytosis & produce antibodies for immunity Platelets - prevent blood loss by clott process  
🗑
areolar connective tissue   loose connective tissue which produces protein fibers. cells called fibroblasts (producting dells) which produce protein fibers. located beneath the dermis and epithelial tissue  
🗑
adipose   fat, adipocytes specialized to store microscopic fat droplets for use when food intact decreases. provides cushioning for organs and tissue s/a eyes kidneys  
🗑
fibrous connective tissue   parallel collagen fibers located where the body needs flexible strength artery walls to prevent blood vessel rupture tendons to connect muscle to bone ligaments to connect bone to bone  
🗑
elastic connective tissue   made of elastin fibers & located in large artery walls for stretching. also in lungs for stretching with inhalation  
🗑
elastic connective tissue - bone   osteocytes strong hard and not flexible storage site for calcium salts, supports the body and protects organs  
🗑
elastic cartilage   chondrocytes, no capillaries for blood supply, nutrients by diffusion, provides smooth surface on joint surface  
🗑
mytosis   1 cell with diploid number of chromosomes (46 divides into 2 identical cells eh w/ a diploid number this is needed for body growth & repair no a sex cell  
🗑
meiosis   sex cell 1 cell with a diploid number of chromosomes 46 divided twice to form 4 cells w/ the haplois 12 # of chromosomes only in egg and sperm  
🗑


   

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.
