Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Word
Definition/Association
Cell Theory (4 basic concepts of)   1. Cells are building blocks of all plants and animals 2. All cells come from the division of preexisting cells 3. Cells are the smallest units that perform all vital physiological functions 4. Each cell maintains homeostasis at the cellulr lvl  
🗑
The human body contains two general classes of cells   Sex Cells and Somatic Cells  
🗑
Sex Cells   AKA germ cells or reproductive cells are either the sprem of males or the oocytes of females  
🗑
Somatic Cells   (soma means body) include all other (than sex) cells in the human body  
🗑
Extracellular Fluid   Wattery medium surrounding most tissues (cell model is surrounded by on p 64)  
🗑
Interstitial fluid   (interstitium - something standing between) the extracellular fluid in most tissues is called this.  
🗑
Cell Membrane   Outter boundary of the cell. Separates the cytoplasm from the extracellular fluid.  
🗑
Cytoplasm can be divided into   cytosol, a liquid and intracellular structures collectivelly known as organelles  
🗑
Functions of the Cell Membrane (4)   1. Physical Isolation (conditions out and in very different, must be kept this way to preserve homeostatis). 2. Regulation of Exchange with the environment 3. Sensitivity to the environment (may receive chem. signals) 4. Structural support  
🗑
Cell membrane is called a ....   phospholipid bilayer because the phosopholipid molecules in it form two layers. Phospholipid has both a hydrophilic (phosphate) end and a hydrophobic end (the lipid).  
🗑
