A&P Lab Ch. 1 Flashcards
certain characteristics are present in all cells:
plasma membrane, cytosol, DNA as genetic material
cilia
move substances along cell surface; widespread sensory roles (equilibrium, smell, vision)
nucleus
genetic control center of cell; directs protein synthesis; shelters the DNA
lysosomes
contain enzymes for intracellular digestion, autophagy, programmed cell death, and glucose mobilization
mitochondria
ATP synthesis
G1, first gap phase
growth and normal metabolic roles
S, synthesis phase
DNA replication
G2, second gap phase
growth and preparation for mitosis
prophase
chromosomes condense and nuclear envelope breaks down. spindle fibers grow from centrioles. centrioles migrate to opposite poles of cell
metaphase
chromosomes line along midline of cell. some spindle fibers attach to kinetochores. fibers of aster attach to plasma membrane
anaphase
centromeres divide in two. spindle fibers pull sister chromatids to opposite poles of cell. each pole now has an identical set of genes
telophase
chromosomes gather at each pole of cell. chromatin decondenses. new nuclear envelope appears in each nucleus. mitotic spindle vanishes
histology
study of tissues
four major types of tissue:
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
cartilage:
hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage
