cell modif Flashcards
cell’s structure are modified or change after cell division.
It ensures cells can be able to function well.
Cell Modification
Hairlike structure, Attached at the apex of columnar epithelium
Mostly found in eukaryotic cells.
Cilia
Function is for Sweeping movement, and is seen in the respiratory and urinary tubes.
Cilia
Finger -like structure, Function is for absorption of materials
Microvilli
Attached to columnar epithelial cells found most commonly in the intestines and kidney tubules.
Microvilli
Whiplike structure, and can be found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell
Flagella
It is undulatory movement and its
Function is for Locomotion
Flagella
Brush like, it is attached to plasma membrane of epithelial cells, and its function is for Hearing and Balance.
Stereocilia
Also known as the basement membrane, It is an extracellular matrix. From proteins produce by the epithelial cell.
Basal Lamina
Filter blood entering the epithelial cells and acts as scaffolding of regenerating epithelial cells
Basal Lamina
Basal cell membrane thrown into folds.
Common in kidney tubules.
Basal infoldings
Increase the surface area where ions transport are transported.
Basal infoldings
Found between a cell and a basement membrane, Anchors one cell or attaches a cells extracellular filaments to the basement membrane.
Hemidesmosomes
It is button-like spots found all around cells and connect adjacent cells. Found in high numbers in tissues that are subject to a lot of mechanical forces.
Desmosomes
where the membranes of two adjacent cells join together to form a barrier.
Tight Junction
Allow the selective diffusion of ions and solutes through the intercellular space
Tight Junction
Demarcates the apical region from the basolateral region in epithelial cells
Tight Junction
found between all cells that are directly touching other cells and its connected through protein channels
Gap Junction
Allows molecules to pass from one cell to the other.
This allows for cell-to-cell communication
Gap Junction
Gap junctions are only found in _______?
animal cells
plant cells are connected by channels called ____________?
plasmodesmata
This are cells that differentiate or evolve after cell division.
For cells to perform a specialized function.
Cell Specialization
Fat cells
Adipocytes
Muscle cells
Myocytes
Sex cells
Spermatozoa, and Oocytes
Epithelial cells
Squamous, Cuboidal, Columnar, Endothelium
Nerve cells
Neuron, and Neurocytes
Bone cells
Osteoblasts, Osteocytes, Osteoclasts
Blood cells
Erythrocyte
