processes of cells
absorption assimilation respiration conductivity growth reproduction excretion TERM 2
cytoplasm is also
called
DEFINITION 2 cytosol TERM 3
endoplasmic reticulum
DEFINITION 3 contains newly synthesized protein transports materials TERM 4
golgi apparatus
DEFINITION 4 transfer proteins to be sorted, condensed and packaged. composed of cisternae or saccules, small vesicles, and large vacuoles TERM 5
lysosomes
DEFINITION 5 contain digestive enzymes and acid hydrolase to break down substances inside and outside of the cell mostly in macrophages and leukocytes not in red blood cells
mitochondria
trilaminar membrane folds into cristae TERM 7
microtubules
DEFINITION 7 made of the protein tubulin singles, doubles, or triplets maintain cell shape associated with centrioles and cilia TERM 8
centrioles
DEFINITION 8 near nucleus made of 9 triplets of microtubules generates more microtubules involved in mitosis TERM 9
cell nucleus
DEFINITION 9 not in MATURE blood cells or platelets contain 1-4 nucleoli (which contain RNA and have no membrane) TERM 10
bineucleated cells
DEFINITION 10 cardiac muscles parenchymal liver cells
sex cells
ovum or spermatozoon TERM 17
meiosis
DEFINITION 17 4 daughter cells instead of 2 cuz there are 2 successive divisions TERM 18
primary tissues
DEFINITION 18 epithelial neural connective muscle TERM 19
epithelial tissue purposes
DEFINITION 19 absorption contractility digestion secretion excretion protection sensation TERM 20
epithelial tissue
DEFINITION 20 mostly ectodermal alimentary canal is endodermal peritoneal cavity lining and blood vessels are mesodermal no blood vessels (in CT and regulate body heat) basal cells replace higher levels
neural tissue
made from neurons and neuroglia TERM 22
peripheral nervous system subdivisions
DEFINITION 22 autonomic (uncontrollable) or somatic sympathetic or parasympathetic TERM 23
afferent vs. efferent
DEFINITION 23 determined by whether signal is traveling toward or away from the brain TERM 24
structure of peripheral nerves
DEFINITION 24 nerve fiber (perineurium) is surrounded by epineurium TERM 25
types of connective tissue
DEFINITION 25 proper cartilage bone blood & lymph
muscle tissue
contract because of the proteins actin and myosin (whose arrangements can cause striations) types: smooth (blood vessels esophagus, GI, heart) skeletal/voluntary (striated) cardiac (striated) contains intercalated disks TERM 32
organ systems
DEFINITION 32 digestive endocrine respiratory urinary vascular reproductive lymphatic special senses integumentary
