Ana. Lecture Exam 1 (chap 1-6) Flashcards
Hannah's quizlet
oxidase enzymes that neutralize free radicals,
break down toxins, long-chain fatty acids
peroxisome
molecules in solution move down conc. gradient
- small, uncharged molecules like oxygen, CO2, fat-soluble molecules
simple diffusion
diffusion of water molecules across membrane
osmosis
Movement of specific molecules across cell membranes through integral protein channels
- charged molecules such as glucose, amino acids, and ions
facilitated diffusion
Adenine and Guanine
-form a double hydrogen bond
purines
thymine and cytosine
-form triple hydrogen bond
pyramidines
pyrimidine that only in DNA, replaced by uracil on RNA
thymine
period of the cell cycle between cell divisions,
DNA replication
interphase
dna in the nucleus into rna
1. dna unwound
2. rna polymerase trascribes DNA into mRNA
3. mrna exits via nuclear pores
transcription
reading dna to form amino acids and then proteins
1. mrna attaches to ribosomes
2. trna carries amino acis its anticodons pairs up with mrna codons
3. stops when ribosome hits a stop codon
translation
transcribed and replicated
euchromatin
proteins rapidly being produced and growing
G1 phase
dna replicates itself
s phase
cell ready to divide
g2 phase
cells divide (PMAT-C)
m (mitotic) phase
protein synthesis,
dna replication
interphase
Chromosomes become visible, nuclear envelop dissolves, spindle forms
prophase
sister chomatids line up along the metaphase plate
- spindle fibers attach to the centromere
metaphase
chromosomes break at centromeres, and sister chromatids move to opposite ends of the cell
anaphase
After the chromosome seperates, the cell seals off, Final Phase of Mitosis.
telophase
cleavage furrow forms, cell pinches apart
- diploid cells
cytokinesis
A cell containing two sets of chromosomes (2n), one set inherited from each parent.
Diploid cells
cell, tissue, organ, organ system
body classification system
noncellular, adhesive supporting sheet consisting largely of glycoproteins secreted by epithelial cells
basal lamina
cover exposed surfaces and line internal cavities and passageways; often contain secretory cells, or gland cells scattered among the other cell types
covering epithelium
Composed of cells that are specialized to produce and secrete substances.
glandular epithelium
secrete onto external surfaces or into internal passageways that connect to the exterior
exocrine glands
secrete hormones into the bloodstream
endocrine glands
protection, secretion, absorption, diffusion, filtration, sensory reception
ET tissue functions
cellularity, connected by cell junctions, polarity (apical surface and a basal membrane), underlying connective tissue, avascular, innervated, easily regenerated
ET characteristics
allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection isn’t important
- produces lubricant
- alveoli
simple squamous epithelium
secretion and absorption
- kidney tubules
simple columnar epithelium
absorption, secretion of mucus/ enzymes, ciliated to propel mucus or reproductive cells
simple columnar epithelium
secretion, (mucus), propulsion of mucus by cilliary action
-trachea
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
protects underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion
- skin (keratin)
stratified squamous epithelium
protection
- sweat glands, salivary glands
stratified cuboidal epithelium
protection, secretion
- urethra
stratified columnar epithelium
stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine
Location: lines the ureters, urinary bladder, and part of the urethra
transitional epithelium
goblet cells
- produce mucin
unicellular exocrine glands
tight functions are fairly impermeable
- desmosomes: mechanical stress
cell junctions
ions, small molecules
- cardiac and skeletal muscles
gap junctions
produce extracellular matrix. ground substance
fibroblasts
proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans
ground substance
wraps and cushions organs
- aids inflammation
- collagen, reticular and elastic fibers
- most widespread
loose areolar ct proper
reserve food fuel, prevent heat loss, supports/ protects organs
- very vascular
- high metabolic activity
loose connective adipose ct proper
fibers form soft internal skeleton that support other cell types
- spleen
loose connective reticular ct proper
attaches muscle to bones or muscles, bones to bones
- withstand tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction
dense ct proper
withstands multidirectional tension - structural strength
Dense Irregular CT
allows recoil of tissue following stretching; walls of large arteries
dense elastic
supports and reinforces; has resilient cushioning properties; resists compressive stress
- costal cartilage
hyaline cartilage
maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility
- ear and epiglottis
elastic cartilage
tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock
- knee joint
Fibrocartilage
voluntary, striated, multi-nuclei
skeletal muscle
Branchlike parts of a neuron that are specialized to receive information.
dendrites
a part of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body
axons
cells that support and protect neurons
neuroglia
skin
cutaneous membrane
Membrane that secretes mucus that lubricates the surface of organs and keeps them moist.
mucous membrane
thin double layered membrane
serosa membrane
largest organ
skin
Keratnized Stratified Squamous Epithelium
epidermis
The most abundant epidermal cells, they produce keratin,
- cont mitosis at bottom layer
- produce antibiotics/ enzymes
