Question
Answer
Microvilli   projections that increase a cell’s surface area  
🗑
Fat Droplet   loose connective tissue composed of adipose  
🗑
Secretory vessicle   membrane bound organelle which contains molecules ready for secretion across the plasma membrane of the cell  
🗑
Centrosome   the site from which the mitotic spindle is constructed  
🗑
Centrioles   structures in the cytoplasm from which the spindle apparatus is formed  
🗑
Ribosomes   small organelles responsible for protein production  
🗑
Nucleus   houses the cell’s genetic material (DNA)  
🗑
Nucleolus   where ribosomal RNA is transcribed  
🗑
Nuclear envelope   double membrane enclosing the nucleus  
🗑
Mitochondrion   organelle where cellular respiration occurs and most ATP is made  
🗑
microfilament   long fibers that functions in movement and support of the cell  
🗑
Golgi vesicle   a membrane-bounded vessicle in the Golgi complex acting as a lysosome or a secretory vessicle in exocytosis  
🗑
Golgi complex   modifies, packages, newly synthesized proteins and synthesizes carbohydrates  
🗑
Lysosome   function is to destroy worn-out/damaged organelles, get rid of waste materials, and protect the cell from foreign invaders  
🗑
Microtubules   move vessicles, granules, organelles and chromosomes via special attachment proteins  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum   network of membranous sacs and tubes, active in membrane synthesis and other synthetic and metabolic processes. Has a rough (ribsome studded and smooth)  
🗑
Plasma Membrane   membrane enclosing the cell  
🗑
Basement membrane   binds the epithelium to underlying connective tissue  
🗑
Mitosis   a form of cell division in which a cell divides once and produces two genetically identical daughter cells  
🗑
Prophase   chromosomes condense and nuclear envelope breaks down. Spindle fibers grow from centrioles. Centrioles migrate to opposite poles of cells  
🗑
Metaphase   chromosomes lie along the midline of the cell. Some spindle fibers attach to kinetochores. Fibers of aster attach to plasma membrane  
🗑
Anaphase   Centromeres divide into two. Spindle fibers pull sister chromatids to opposite poles of cell. Each pole now has a set of identical genes.  
🗑
Telophase   Chromosomes gather at each pole of cell. Chromatin decondenses. New nuclear envelope appears at each pole. New nucleoli appear in each nuclues. Mitotic spindle vanishes.  
🗑
Hair   protect our bodies from the elements, regulate hear, and sensory item.  
🗑
Sweat pores   to help control body temperature and cool body down  
🗑
Epidermis   protection  
🗑
Dermis   contains blood vessels, nerves, oil and sweat glands  
🗑
Dermal papilla   fingerlike structure for increased surface area in the exchange of oxygen, nutrients and waste between the dermis and the epidermis  
🗑
Tactile corpuscle   made out of nerve endings functioning as a touch receptor  
🗑
Blood capillaries   pass blood from arteries to veins  
🗑
Hair folicle   a sac from which a hair grows and into which the sebacous glands open  
🗑
Sebaceous gland   secrete an oily substance (sebum) to be used as a barrier against pathogens  
🗑
Apocrine sweat gland   responsible for sweat and body odor  
🗑
Hair bulb   portion of the follicle that produces hair  
🗑
Hypodermis   fasten skin to underlying surface, provide thermal insulation, and absorb shock from impacts to the skin  
🗑
Merocrine sweat gland   helps regulate body’s temperature  
🗑
Sensory nerve fibers   receive sensory stimuli  
🗑
Motor nerve fibers   a neuron conducting impulses outwards from the brain or spinal cord  
🗑
Piloerector muscle   makes hair stand  
🗑
Stratum basale   (FIRST LAYER)consists of a layer of cuboidal to low collumnar cells and keratinocytes resting on the basement membrane  
🗑
Stratum spinosum   (SECOND LAYER) thickest stratum, consists of layers of keratinocytes  
🗑
Stratum granulosum   (THIRD LAYER) consists of 3-5 layers of flat keratinocytes.  
🗑
Stratum lucidum   (FOURTH LAYER) thin translucent zone seen only in thick skin, kerotinocytes are densely packed  
🗑
Stratum coreneum   (FIFTH LAYER)consists of up to 30 layers of dead scaly keratinized cells forming a durable surface layer  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   tissues composed of layers of closely spaced cells that cover organ surfaces or form glands; serves for protection, secretion, and absoprtion  
🗑
Connnective Tissue   tissue with usually more matrix than cell volume;specialized to support, bind, and protect organs  
🗑
Nervous Tissue   tissue containing excitable cells specialized for rapid tissue transmission of coded information to other cells  
🗑
Muscular Tissue   tissue composed of elongated, excitable cells specialized for contraction  
🗑
Simple Gland   have a single unbranched duct  
🗑
Compound Gland   have a branched duct  
🗑
Tubular Gland   duct and secretory portion are of uniform diameter  
🗑
Acinar Gland   secretory cells form a dialated sac (acinus)  
🗑
Tubuloacinar gland   a gland which both the acini and tubules secrete a product  
🗑


   

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.
