cells and tissues Flashcards
the stuctural units of all living things
cells
the stuctural units of all living things
cells
how many cells does a human body have
50-100 trillion
cell composed of four element
carbo,hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen
3 main regions of a cell
nucleus,cytoplasm,plasma membrane
act as an adhesive or cellularr glue
glycoproteins
site of most cellular activities
cytoplasm
fluid that suspends other element
cytosol
fluid that suspends other element
cytosol
metabolic machinery of the cell
organelles
metabolic machinery of the cell
organelles
chemical substances,such as stores nutrients or cell products
inclusion
provides the cell with an internal framework
cytoskeleton
provides the cell with an internal framework
cytoskeleton
largest
microfilaments
largest
microfilaments
mechanical support for the celll
intermediate filaments
mechanical support for the celll
intermediate filaments
smallest
microtubules
secretes cable like fibers
fibroblast
carries oxygen in the bloodstream
erythrocyte
- cells that cover and line body organs
- intermediate fibers resist tearing during rubbbing or pulling
epithelial cell
- cells that move organs and body parts
skeletal muscle and smooth muscle cells
cells that stores nutrient
fat cells
cells that fights diseases
macrophage
cells that fights diseases
macrophage
-cell that gathers information and controls body functions
- receives and transmit messages to other body structure
nerve cell
-cell that gathers information and controls body functions
- receives and transmit messages to other body structure
nerve cell
- largest cell in the body
- divides to become an embryo upon fertilization
oocyte
- largest cell in the body
- divides to become an embryo upon fertilization
oocyte
- built for swimming to the egg for fertilization
sperm cell
acts as a motile whip
flagellum
acts as a motile whip
flagellum
solution conaining gases,nutrients, and salts dissolved in water
intracellular fluid
solution conaining gases,nutrients, and salts dissolved in water
intracellular fluid
- fluid on the exterior of the celll
- contains hormones,neutrotransmitters,salts, waste products
interstitial fluid
no energy (ATP) is required
passisive processes
cell must provide metabolic energy (ATP)
Active processes
particles tend to distribute themselves evenly within a solution
diffusion
- an unaassited are lipid- soluble
- solutes are lipid soluble or small enough to pass through membrane pores
simple diffusion
higly polar water molecules easily cross the plasma membrane through aquaporins
osmosis
water and solutes are forced through a membrane by fluid or hydrostatic pressure
filltration
- Amino acids, some sugars, and ions are transported by protein carriers as solute pumps
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
substances are moved without actually crossing the plasma membrane
vesicular transport
substances are moved without actually crossing the plasma membrane
vesicular transport
moves material out of the cell
exocytosis
moves material out of the cell
exocytosis
extracellular substances are engulfed by being enclosed in a membranous vesicle
endocytosis
extracellular substances are engulfed by being enclosed in a membranous vesicle
endocytosis
- cell eating
- cell engulfs large particle such as bacteria or dead body cells
phagocytosis
- cell drinking
- cell gulps droplets of extracellular fluid containing dissolved proteins or fats
pinocytosis
- cell drinking
- cell gulps droplets of extracellular fluid containing dissolved proteins or fats
pinocytosis
- method for taking up specific target molecules
receptor mediated endocytosis
