Cell and Physiology Flashcards
Cell
smallest unit capable of carrying out all life processes
Tissue
Groupings of cells which are specialized for a specific function
Basic Tissue Types
-Connective(bone,ligament, blood)
-Muscle
-Nervous(brain, spine)
-Epithelial(layer, protection)
Organ
composed of multiple tissue types, organized for a specific function
Organ System
groups of organs integrated their function
organism
built by organ systems working together
Modern Cell Theory
- organisms are composed of cells and cell products
- The cell is simplest structural and functional unit of life
- shape drive function
- cells come from cells
- similar in chemical composition and metabolic mechanism
Primary responders to implanted materials
-Mechanisms of attachment
-blood coagulation
-Inflammation
-Immune Response
Cell Functions
-Supply of new cells
-Secretion of Soluble Factors
-Secretion of extracellular matrix proteins
-Communication
-Phagocytosis
-Organelles regulate any of these processes
Size of cells
mamalian cell-10 microm
bacteria cells -1-5 microm
Eukaryotic cell
-Nucleus
-Cytoskeleton
-Mitochondrion
-Golgi Apparatus
-Plasma membrane
-Endoplasmic reticulum
Phospholipid membrane
-Compartmentalization
-Protection
-Cell Recognition
-Entry/Exit
-Fluid Mosaic
Phospholipid makeup
-hydrophilic head group(nitrogen group)
-phosphate group
-Glycerol
-Hydrophobic Tail(Fatty Acid Tail)
Cytoskeleton function
-Protein scaffold to protein support, internal organization, and movement of cell
Cytoskeleton function
-Actin Filaments
-Microtubules
Mitochondria
-Energy from Glucose
-Produce ATP
- Have their DNA
-Ekaryotes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
-network of channels
-Communication
-Ribosome
-Protein Transport
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
-No ribosomes
-Lipid Transport
-Large Surface Area
-Enzyme attachment
Golgi Apparatus
Packaging Center-brings everything together
-Polar ends
-Flattened sacs
Lysosomes
contains specialized disgestive
Endosomes
methods of cellular uptake of large proteins and viruses
