Cell Flashcards
Endosome
Transporting and sorting organelles
Cytoskeleton
Microfilaments, microtubules, intermediate filaments
Microfilament
Solid polymerized rods of actin, play role in cytokinesis
Microfilament role in mitosis
Cleavage furrow is formed between microfilaments
Actin filaments can use ATP to
Generate force for movement by interacting with myosin
Microtubules
Hollow polymers of tubulin, provide pathways for motor proteins
Microtubule types
Centriole, flagella, cilia
Centrioles are found in
Centrosome
Centriole role in mitosis
Migrate to opposite poles of the dividing cell and organize mitotic spindle
Intermediate filaments
Involved in cell-cell adhesion or maintenance of cytoskeleton
Epithelial tissue
Cover the body and line its cavities
Simple epithelia
One layer of cells
Stratified epithelia
Multiple layers of cells
Pseudostratified epithelia
Appear to have multiple layers but have one layer
Connective tissue
Support structure, form extracellular matrix; bone, muscle, ligaments
All bacteria have
Cell membrane and cytoplasm
