A&P CHAPTER 3: CELLS Flashcards
CYTOLOGY
STUDY OF CELLULAR STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
2 CLASSES OF CELLS
SEX AND SOMATIC
3 MAJOR PARTS TO CELL AND THEIR ORGANIZATION
CELL MEMBRANE: ENCLOSES THE CELL
NUCLEUS: CONTAIN’S CELLS GENERTIC MATERIAL AND CONTROLS ACTIVITY
CYTOPLASM: FILLS OUT THE CELL
CELL MEMBRANE FUNCTION
CONTROLS MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES IN/OUT OF CELL
SELECTIVE PERMEABILITY
CELL MEMBRANE IS FORMED BY THE ____
BILIPID LAYER
MEMBRANE PROTEINS FUNCTION
ALLOW CELLS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ENVIRONMENT
RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF SPECIALIZED MEMBRANE FUNCTION
INTEGRAL VS PERIPHERAL PROTEINS
INTEGRAL: TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEINS EMBEDDED IN LIPID BILAYER
PERIPHERAL: NOT EMBEDDED IN BILAYER, LOOSELY ATTACHED TO INTEGRAL PROTEINS
FUNCTIONS OF GLYCOCALYX
ANCHORING AND LOCOMOTION, BINDING TO OTHER CELLS, LUBRICATION AND PROTECTION, RECOGNIZED BY IMMUNE SYSTEM AS “SELF”
CYTOPLASM FUNCTION
WHERE MOST CHEMICAL REACTIONS OCCUR
SUSPENDS THE ORGANELLES
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM AND 2 TYPES
INTRACELLULAR MEMBRANES CONNECTED TO NUCLEUS ENVELOPE
2 TYPES: SMOOTH AND ROUGH
SMOOTH ER FUNCTIONS
SYNTHESIZE PHOSPHOLIPIDS AND CHOLESTEROL FOR CELL GROWTH
ENZYMES THAT CALALYZE REACTIONS
VERY LITTLE OF IT IN BODY
ROUGH ER FUNCTIONS
SYNTHESIZE PROTEINS
CELL’S MEMBRANE FACTORY
GOLGI APPARATUS FUNCTIONS
MODIFYING SECRETIONS RELEASED VIA EXOCYTOSIS
PACKAGING SPECIAL ENZYMES INSIDE VESICLES FOR USE IN CYTOSOL
RENEWING/MODIFYING CELL MEMBRANE
LYSOSOMES
DISPOSE CELL WASTE
BREAK DOWN FOREIGN PARTICLES
DESTROY OLD PARTS OF CELL
MITOCHONDRIA FUNCTIONS
POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
PEROXISOME FUNCTIONS
SPEED UP BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS
RIBOSOMES
PROTEIN FACTORIES OF THE CELL
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CYTOSOL AND EXTRACELLULAR FLUID
CYTOSOL HAS MORE PROTEINS AND POTASSIUM IONS (LOWER CONCENTRATION)
ENDOMEMBRANE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
ORGANELLES THAT PRODUCE AND DEGRADE BIOLOGIC MOLEUCLES
NITROGENOUS BASES DO WHAT AND INCLUDE: (4)
STORE INFO IN A SEQUENCE
ADENINE, THYMINE, CYTOSINE, GUANINE (ATCG)
GENE ACTIVATION
REMOVING HISTONES FROM GENES ALLOWING IT TO AFFECT THE CELL
