Q

What is the function of endoplasmic reticulum?

A

the rough ER is studded with ribosomes and it manufactures all the protein
the smooth ER synthesizes fats, steroids, and certain drugs

Q

What is the function of Golgi?

A

golgi is the shipping of the actual cell; all the manufactured protein that’s made in the rough ER now needs to be shipped and that’s the function of the Golgi

Q

Properties of the plasma membrane

A

forms the outer boundary of the cell; it separates the inside (intracellular) from the outside (extracellular); made up of a phospholipid bilayer; a selectively permeable membrane meaning it chooses what it wants in and out of the cell

Q

Active Transport

A

requires energy (ATP); going from a low concentration to a high concentration, going against the concentration gradient;
Example of Active Transport is the sodium-potassium pump
Steps of the sodium-potassium pump:
3 sodium’s from the inside of the cell bind to the pump protein, the binding of the sodium’s uses ATP, ATP becomes ADP, now the sodium’s are expelled to the outside of the cell, now 2 potassium’s are ready to bind and enter the cell
To pump:
(3x2) 3 sodium’s per 2 potassium’s

Q

Passive Transport

A

requires no energy; going with the concentration gradient; going from high concentration to low concentration
Example of Passive Transport:
Diffusion- the passive random motion of molecules from high to low concentration (remember the cologne example from class: scatters around person wearing it first then spreads until equilibrium is reached and everyone can smell it )

Q

Tonicity

A

Isotonic Solution: the concentration on the inside and the outside of the red blood cell are the same

Hypotonic Solution: there’s more salt on the inside of the red blood cell, water starts to sneak into the red blood cell and it swells up

Hypertonic Solution: there’s more salt outside of the red blood cell, water sneaks out of the red blood cell and it shrinks

Q

Interphase

A

the first part of the cell cycle; no cell division; DNA is being replicated; the organelles are being made; the cell is highly metabolically active

Q

The Mitotic Phase

A

occurs after interphase ; steps of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase

19
Q

Prophase

A

the nuclear envelope starts to become choppy and disappear; chromatin fibers change into chromosomes

20
Q

Metaphase

A

microtubules align the centromeres of the chromatid pairs at the metaphase plate

21
Q

Anaphase

A

the chromatid pairs split at the centromere and move to opposite poles of the cell; the chromatids are now called chromosomes; cleavage furrow forms

22
Q

Telophase

A

two identical nuclei are formed around the identical sets of chromosomes now in their chromatin form

23
Q

Epithelial Tissue

A

cover body surfaces; form glands ; line hollow organs, body cavities, and ducts

24
Q

Connective Tissue

A

protect, support, and bind organs.

25
Q

Muscular Tissue

A

generate the physical force needed to make body structures move. They also generate heat used by the body

26
Q

Nervous Tissue

A

detect changes in the body and respond by generating nerve impulses

27
Q

Germ Layers

A

Tissues of the body develop from three primary germ layers: Endoderm, Mesoderm, and Ectoderm
Epithelial- all three layers
Connective and Muscle- mesoderm
Nervous Tissue- ectoderm

28

Simple Squamous Epithelium can be found in …

A

lungs

34
Q

Transitional Epithelium can be found in …

A

bladder

35
Q

Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

A

sweat glands and part of the urethra

36
Q

Stratified Columnar Epithelium can be found in …

A

mammary ducts, epididymis

37
Q

Endocrine Gland

A

part of epithelial; secrete contents into the blood stream like hormones

38
Q

Exocrine Gland

A

part of epithelial; secrete substances through ducts to the surface of the skin; like mucus,sweat,etc.

39
Q

Loose Connective Tissue

A

Areolar- packed between glands
Adipose- fat
Reticular- lymphatic organs

40
Q

Dense Connective Tissue

A

Dense Irregular- dermis of the skin
Dense Regular- tendons and ligaments
Elastic- large arteries- like the aorta

41
Q

Cartilage

A

Hyaline- most abundant cartilage; ribs, nose, trachea
Fibro-discs of the knee and the back
Elastic- external ear and epiglottis

42
Q

Muscular: Skeletal, Cardiac, Smooth

A

Skeletal- Striated and Voluntary
Cardiac- Striated and Involuntary
Smooth- Nonstriated and Involuntary

43
Q

What is Mesenchyme ?

A

Gives rise to all other connective tissues

44
Q

Cells of Connective Tissue

A

Chondrocytes make the various cartilaginous C.T.
Adipocytes store triglycerides.
Osteocytes make bone.
White blood cells are part of the blood.
