16
Q

What is the plasma membrane?

A

the membrane found in all cells that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment

17
Q

What is a lipid bilayer?

A

2 layers of phospholipids ( hydrophobic and hydrophillic)

18
Q

What is Cytosol?

A

Fluid portion of cytoplasm

19
Q

What is the Nucleus?

A

Control center of the cell (DNA)

20
Q

What is a Lysosome?

A

helps degrade mis-made items or other things in a cell

21
Q

What are Secretory Vesicles?

A

The golgi apparatus packages processed materials into vesicles of membrane, which then fuse with the cell’s plasma membrane and releases the contents.

22
Q

What are protein channels?

A

proteins that are embedded in the lipid bilayer that help things pass through the membrane

23
Q

What are cell receptors?

A

Proteins which identify a cell as a target cell for a hormone

24
Q

What is the Central Dogma?

A

DNA-transcription-RNA-translation-protein

25
Q

What is transcription?

A

The process of making RNA from DNA

26
Q

What is translation?

A

the decoding of an mRNA message into a protein

27
Q

What is Homeostasis?

A

Maintaining a stable internal environment

28
Q

What is a Negative Feedback Loop?

A

A negative feedback loop is a system where the output may signal the system to stop changing. return to a set point

29
Q

What is a Positive Feedback Loop?

A

once it is stimulated, it just keeps going (think oxytocin to induce labor)

30
Q

What are the steps of a negative feedback loop?

A

stimulus, receptor, input, control center, output, effector, response

31
Q

What is Skeletal Muscle?

A

long multinucleate, parallel cells w/ striations
Pull on bones and skins as contract

32
Q

What is Cardiac Muscle?

A

Cells divide and converse, striated with intercalated discs, 1 nuclei Only in the heart (Involuntary)

33
Q

What is Smooth Muscle?

A

Short tapered cells with no striations, uninucleate, (Involuntary)

34
Q

What is a squamous cell?

A

A cell that is flat and the nucleus is near the upper surface.

35
Q

What is a Cuboidal Cell?

A

A cell that is cube-shaped with a central, round nucleus.

36
Q

What is a Columnar Cell?

A

A cell that is tall with an oval nucleus near the basement membrane.

37
Q

What does simple mean?

A

one layer

38
Q

What does stratified mean?

A

multiple layers

39
Q

What does pseudostratified mean?

A

false stratified; all cells touch basement membrane
