Question
Answer
Human cells_____in size, but are ALL _________.   Human cells VARY in size, but are ALL MICROSCOPIC.  
🗑
Cells contain   Cytoplasm,plasm membrane, and nucleus  
🗑

🗑
Cytoskeleton   is the internal framework of the cell;made of microfilaments and microtubules;provide support & movement of the cell & organelles  
🗑

🗑
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)   is a network of connecting sacs and canals that carry substances through the cytoplasm.  
🗑

🗑
Rough ER   collects, folds, and transports proteins made by ribosomes  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   is a group of flattened sacs near the nucleus that collect chemicals into vesicles that move from the smooth ER outward to the plasma membrane  
🗑
Mitochondria   composed of the inner and outer membranous sacs; involved with the energy releasing chemical reactions called cellular respiration;"power plants" of cells;one contains one DNA molecule  
🗑
Lysosomes   membrane-enclosed packets containing digestive enzymes that have a protective function;eat microbes  
🗑
Centrosome   includes microtubule, which is the organizing region of the cytoskeleton near the nucleus  
🗑
Centrioles   paired organelles that lie at right angles to each other with the centrosome;function in moving chromosomes during cell reproduction  
🗑
Microvilli   short extensions of the plasma membrane that increase surface area;produce slight movements that enhance absorption by the cell  
🗑
Cilia   hairlike extensions with inner microtubules found on free or exposed surfaces of all cells;sensory function;capable of moving together in a wavelike fashion to propel mucus across a surface  
🗑
Flagella   single projections that act as tails of sperm cells; longer than cilia  
🗑
Nucleus   controls cells because it contains most of the genetic code also called genome  
🗑
Components of the nucleus   nuclear envelope,nucleoplasm,nucleolus,and chromatin granules  
🗑
There are how many chromosomes that contain the DNA, which contains the genetic code?   46 nuclear chromosomes  
🗑
IS there a relationship between cell structure and function?   YES  
🗑
Passive transport   DO NOT require added energy and result in movement DOWN a concentration gradient;Diffusion, Osmosis,Dialysis and Filtraton  
🗑
Diffusion   occurs when substances scatter themselves evenly throughout an available space, the particles moving from HIGH to LOW concentration  
🗑
Osmosis   the diffusion of WATER when solutes CANNOT cross the membrane  
🗑
Dialysis   the diffusion of small particles  
🗑
Filtration   the movement of water and solutes caused by hydrostatic pressure on one side of the a membrane  
🗑
Active transport   processes only occur in living cells; movement between substances is up the concentration gradient; REQUIRES energy from ATP;ex. ion pumps  
🗑
Ion pump   a protein complex in the cell membrane; Ex. sodium-potassium pump, calcium pump.  
🗑
Phagocytosis   "cell eating"; engulfs large particles in a vesicle as a protective mechanism;often used to destroy bacteria or debris from tissue damage;active transport  
🗑
Pinocytosis   "cell drinking"; engulfs fluids or dissolved substances into cells;active transport  
🗑
DNA   large molecule;shaped like SPIRAL STAIRCASE;deoxyribose,and phosphate units compose sides of molecule; is contains in the nucleus  
🗑
Complementary base pairing   base pairings are always the same; BUT the sequence of the base pairs differs in different DNA molecules  
🗑
Genes   a specific sequence of base pairs within DNA molecules;dictate formation of enzymes and other proteins by ribosomes;heredity determinants  
🗑
Protein sythesis   occurs in the cytoplasm, thus genetic information must pass from the nucleus to the cytoplasm  
🗑
Transcription   occurs when double-stranded DNA separates to form messenger RNA (mRNA);duplicates a particular gene;mRNA molecules pass from nucleus to the cytoplasm;direct protein synthesis into ribosomes and ER  
🗑
Translation   involves the synthesis of proteins in the cytoplasm by ribosomes;requires the use of information contained in mRNA;  
🗑
Codon   is a series of three nucleotide bases that acts as a code for specific amino acid  
🗑
Cell Division   a reproduction of the cell involving division of the nucleus and cytoplasm; mitosis;two daughter cells  
🗑
Interphase   period when the cell is NOT actively dividing; not it say that cell is inactive  
🗑
Metaphase   Spindle fibers attach to each chromatid;chromosomes align across the center of the cell  
🗑
Prophase   Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes; chromatids become attached at the centrosome;spindle fibers appear;nucleolus and nuclear envelop disappear  
🗑
Anaphase   centrosomes break apart;chromosomes move away from the center of the cell; cleavage furrow appears  
🗑
Telophase   nuclear envelope and both nuclei appear;cytoplasm & organelles divide equally;process of cell divison is completed; two daughter cells  
🗑
Four main tissues   1-Epithelial 2-Connective 3-Muscle 4-Nervous  
🗑
Epithelial   covers body and line the body tissue; made up of cells packed closely together with little matrix;classified by the shape of the cells  
🗑
Shapes of cells (Epithelial)   1-squamous(flat & scalelike) 2-cubidoal (cube-shaped) 3-columnar (higher than they are wide) 4-transtitional (varying shapes that can stretch)  
🗑
Arrangement of Cells   1-simple (a single layer of cells of the same shape) 2-Stratified (many layers of cells; named for the shape of cells in the outer layer)  
🗑
Simple Squamous Epithelium   single layer of scalelike cells adapted for transport  
🗑
Stratified squamous epithelium   several layers of closely packed cells specializing in protection  
🗑
Simple columnar epithelium   composed of tall, column-like cells arranged in a single layer;contains mucus producing goblet cells that are specialized for secretion  
🗑
Stratified transitional epithelium   has up to 10 layers of roughly cuboidal-shaped cells that distort to squamous shape when stretched; ex.urinary bladder  
🗑
Pseudostratified epithelium   a single layer of distorted columnar cells; each cell touches the basementmembrane

Simple cuboidal epithelium   a single layer of cubelike cells that are often specialized for secretory activity;may secrete into duct, directly in blood and on the body surface

Areolar tissue   loose connective tissue tha has the fibrous glue, fascia, which holds organs together;collagenous and elastic fibers are the most common  
🗑
Adipose (Fat)tissue   is the way the body can store lipids and play a role in the metabolism regulation;brown fat produces heat  
🗑
Reticular Tissue   is a delicate net of collagen fibers, as in bone marrow  
🗑
Dense fibrous tissue   consists of bundles of strong collagen fibers;ex. a tendon

🗑
Hematopoietic   is the bloodlike connective tissue found in red marrow cavities of the bones and in organs such as the spleen, tonsils & lymph nodes; responsible for the formation of blood cells & lymphatic system cells; important in our defense against disease  
🗑

🗑
3 kinds of Muscle Tissue   1-Skeletal 2-Cardiac 3-Smooth  
🗑

Cardiac Muscle   also called striated involuntary muscle; composes the heart wall  
🗑
Smooth Muscle   Also called nonstriated,visceral or involuntary. has no cross striations; found in blood vessels and other tube-shaped organs

🗑
Dendrite   carries the nerve impulse TOWARD the cell body  
🗑
Glia(neuroglia)   are supportive and connecting cells
