Cells, tissue and homeostasis Flashcards
Cells can be grouped together to form many things, can you name them?
Muscle
blood
bone
organs such as heart liver and stomach
Can you name all the cells?
muscle cell
sex cell
stem cell
bone cell
blood cell
nervous cell
epithelial cell
immune cell
fat cell
What do cells do?
utilise glucose water and oxygen to make energy ATP
they synthesis new substances such as proteins sugars fats ect
they produce specialised substances
they secrete specialised substances
they differentiate to preform specialised tasks
they can grow and devide to pass on genetic material
What is the function of a cell membrane?
protection
regulation
communication
identity
how do things transport across the membrane
what are the two types of transport
active and passive transport
what is the point of passive transport
diffusion
facilitated diffusion
osmosis
what is the point of active transport
sodium potassium pump
pinocytosis abd phagocytosis
what does organelles mean
what does each part have
small organ
each has highly specialised structures to carry out different functions
What are the 4 main types of tissue
epithelial - covering lining and secreting
connective - protects and supports
muscle - movement
nervous - control
what does epithelial tissue do
how does it protect
how does it secrete and absorb
covers and lines the body
protects underlaying structures from dehydration and chemical mechanical damage
mucos is secreted from the lining and absorbs substances.
such as enzymes being secreted from the lining of the small intestine such as absorbing nutrients from food
structure of epithelial tissue
highly packed cells with minimal space between them
can usually lie on an inert basement membrane - inactive
can be very single layered or several layers
what is the most common tissue in the body?
connective tissue
how does the connective tissue work?
cells separate from each other compared to the cells in the epithelia tissue
what are the supportive networks in connective tissue?
binding
protection
transport
insulation
what cells are found in connective tissue?
fibroblasts - large, collagen and elastic fibres which provide structural support around the body
