A & P Test 2 Flashcards
Lysosome
intracellular digestion
Ribosome
protein synthesis
Rough ER
encloses proteins in vesicles for transport to Golgi Apparatus
Smooth ER
Site of lipid and steriod synthesis lipid metabolism and drug detoxification
Golgi Apparatus
modifies, concentrates, packages proteins for secreation from cell
Peroxisomes
Enzymes detoxify harmful substances
Mitochondria
Produces ATP
Cilia
Move substances across cell
Flagella
Large Tail like projection that propels the cell
only in human sperm cell
Nucleus
Control center of cell genetic information
Microvilli
increase surface area of plasma membrane for absorption
Chromatin
DNA consitutes genes and proteins
Main Structures of the Cell
- Plasma Membran
- Cytoplasm
- Nucleus
4 Facts about cell membran
- Phospholipid bylayer
- inside in and outside out
- glykokalyic - cell marker for cells to recognize each outher
- receptor sites
Cytoplasm
jello salad like substance between the plasma membran and nucleus where cellular activites take place
Gap junctions
communication between adhecent electrically excitable cells like the heart
Tight junctions
impermeable junction that circles the cell inside in and outside out like the digective tract
diffusion
high concentration -> low concentration
Osmosis
Diffusion of water through selectivley permeable membrane
Active Transport
requires energy (atp)
Cell Cycle
the series of changes a cell goes through from the time it is formed until it reproduces
