Cells Test Flashcards
Mass of protplasm the basic unit of structure of all animals and plants
Cell
The study of the structure of an organism
Anatomy
The area of cell cytoplasm that contains two centrioles important in reproduction of the cell
Centrosome
The structure in the nucleus of a cell that contains chromosomes with genes which carry inherited characteristics
Chromatin
Body tissue that connect supports or binds organs
Connective tissue
The fluid inside a cell contains water proteins lipids carbohydrates minerals and salts
Cytoplasm
Insufficient amounts of fluid in the tissues
Dehydration
Swelling excess amount of fluid in the tissues
Edema
Fine network of tubular structures in the cytoplasm of a cell allows for transport of material in and out of the nucleus and aids in the synthesis and storage of protein
Endoplasmic recticulm
Tissue that forms the skin and parts of the secreting glands and that lines the body cavities
Epithetical tissue
That structure in the cytoplasm of a cell that produces stores and packages secretions for discharge from the cell
Golgi apparatus
Structures in the cytoplasm of a cell tht contains digestive enzymes to digest and destroy old cells bacteria and foreign matter
Lysosomes
The process of cell division that occurs in gametes or sex cells ovum and spermatozoa
Meiosis
Structures in a cell that provide energy and are involved in the metabolism of the cell
Mitochondria
Process of asexual reproduction by which cells divide into two identical cells
Mitosis
Body tissue composed of fibers that produce movement
Muscle tissue
Body tissue that conducts or transmits impulses throughout the body
Nerve tissue
The spherical body in the nucleus of a cell that is important in reproduction of the cell
Nucleolus
Structure that contains cell activities such as growth metabolism and reproduction
Nucleus
Body part made of tissues that have joined together to perform a special function
Organ
Structures in the cytoplasm of a cell including the nucleus mitochondria ribosomes lysosomes and Golgi apparatus
Organelles
Study of how disease occurs and the responses of living organisms to disease processes
Pathophysiology
Pocket like folds in the cell membrane that allow large molecules to enter the cell
Pinocytic vesicles
Thick viscous substance that is the physical basis of all living things
Protoplasm
A group of organs and other parts that work together to perform a certain function
System
A group of similar cells that join together to perform a particular function
Tissue
Basic substance of all life
Protoplasm
Outer protective covering of cell
Cell membrane
Study of form and structure organism
Anatomy
Controls many actives of the cell
Nucleus
Furnaces or powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
Fluid inside the cell
Cytoplasm
Located inside the nucleus and important in reproduction
Nucleolus
Tissues joined together for a particular function
Organ
Cells of same type join together
Tissue
Study of how disease occurs
Pathophysiology
Fatty tissue
Adipose
Nerve tissue function
Control and communicate
Epithelium tissue function
Secrete and protect
Muscle tissue function
Move and protect
Connective tissue function
Support and connect
6 functions of cells
Take in food and oxygen Produce heat and energy Move and adapt to the environment Eliminate wastes Perform special functions Reproduce to create new identical cells
Skeletal function
Attaches to bones to provide movement
Cardia
Heart to beat
Visceral
Present in walls in walls of respitory digestive urinary tact and blood vessels
Body systems
Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Nervous Special senses Circulatory Lymphatic Respiratory Digestive Urinary Endocrine Reproductive
Functions of fatty tissue
Stores fat as a food reserve
Insulates body
Acts as padding
Cartilage and bone tissue
Cartialage tough elastic material that is found between the bones of the spine and at the end of the long bone.
Bone tissue helps form the rigid structure of body
