4 Cytology (Lecture) Flashcards
How many cells does an adult human have
about 75 trillion
What is the first cell of every organism
zygote
Living cells are always surrounded by
interstial fluid
Cilia
fingers that move material around the surface of the cell
Flagella
single long thread like structure that moves cell (sperm)
Centrioles
moves chromosomes during cell division Organization of microtubules (looks like ziti pasta)
Ribosomes
RNA plus protiens; fixed ribosomes bound to rough endoplamic reticulum, free ribosomes scattered in cytoplasam
protien synthesis binds to endoplasmic reticulum
Inclusions
Temporary organelle Food particle appears and disappears
Endoplasmic reticulum
Maze looking intracellular storage and transport
Rough ER modifies and packages newely synthesized protiens.
Smooth ER synthesizes lipid and carbohydrates
Golgi apparatus
Stacks of flattened membranes containing chambers.
Storage alteration an packaging of secretory products and lysomal enzymes
Cytoskeleton
Protiens organized in fine filaments or slender tubes.
Strencth and support movement of cellular structures and materials
Mytochondria
ATP factory
Vacuole
Contain some kind of liquid
IE: fat cell large vacule
Chromatin
DNA that is unwound or Relaxed
Chromosomes
DNA that is super coiled
Microvilli
fingers on cilia
Membrane proteins Channels
form passage way so matMembrane protiensrial can get in or out of a cell
Membrane proteins Recognition
Identify what kind of cell antigen
Membrane proteins Support
the cytoskeleton
Membrane proteins Receptors
A protein that reacts to a chemical signal
