Cells And Tissue Flashcards
On cells whose main function is absorption
Microvilli
Adult cell types you might expect to have gap junction
Heart muscle
Functions of the glycoproteins in the plasma membrane
-determination of blood groups
-binding sites for toxins or bacteria
-aiding the binding of sperm to egg
A cell with abundant peroxisomes would most likely be involved
Detoxification activities
A cell stimulated to increase its steroid production will have abundant
Smooth er
For diffusion to occur
A concentration difference
Goblet cells
Simple columnar
Epithelium built to withstand friction
Stratified squamous
What kind of connective tissue acts as a sponge soaking up fluid when edema occurs
Areolar connective
What type of connective tissue prevents muscles from pulling away from bones during contractions
Dense connective
Describe cardiac muscle
-striated
-intercalated discs
-involuntary
-branching
Cancer is the
All malignant neoplasms
Living unit of life
Cell
External barrier that regulates what enters and leaves the cell
Plasma membrane
The area where most cell activities occur
Cytoplasm
Control center of the cell
Nucleus
Are the sites of synthesis of ribosomes which are important in protein synthesis
Nucleoli
Both polar (heads)
Phospholipids
Molecules inside and outside the cell
Polar
Membrane interior
Non polar
The liquid portion of the cytoplasm
Cytosol
Cytosol and organelles and inclusion
Cytoplasm
Breakdown ingested bacteria worn out organelles and dead cell
Lysosomes
Detoxify a number of harmful toxic substances and disarm free radicals
Peroxisomes
