Cell Modification Flashcards
Hemoglobin containing, disc shaped that transports oxygen to the body.
Enucleated red blood cells
Hair like structure made of proteins that enables bacteria to adhere to tissue surfaces.
Pili
Cell membrane extension of an epethial cell that increases the surface area of cells.
Microvili
Thin nueron branch that receives neural messages from other neurons and conducts the impulses to the cell body.
Dendrites
Whip-like structure that aids for the impulsion of single cells.
Flagella
Help in the survival of the organisms during adverse environmental conditions ( high, heat, pressure and stress)
Spores
Filaments of protein that permit the muscle to contract and elongate for arganism activity.
Actin and myosin
A neuron extension that transmits messages away from the cell body and toward another cell
Axon
Tiny hair like structures that increases the area available for water absorption and that of minerals and other nutrients.
Root hairs
Hair like projections that can also move an egg cell through the female reproductive tract.
