Circulation of cells Flashcards
Intracellular Circulation
located or occurring within a cell or cells
Types of Intracellular Circulation
1) Brownian movement
2) cyclosis/streaming
3) endoplasmic reticulum
Brownian movement
particles move due to kinetic energy, spreads small suspended particles throughout cytoplasm
cyclosis/streaming
circular motion of cytoplasm around the inside of a cell, transports molecules
endoplasmic reticulum
Provides channels through cytoplasm, provides direct continuous passageway from plasma membrane to nuclear membrane
Extracellular Circulation
situated or taking place outside a cell or cells
Types of Extracellular Circulation
1) Diffusion
2) Circulatory system
Diffusion
If cells are in close contact with external environment, can suffice for food and respiration needs. Also used for transport of materials between cells and interstitial fluid around cells in more complex animals
Circulatory system
complex animals with cells too far from external environment require one. Use vessels
interstitial fluid
is a solution that bathes and surrounds the tissue cells of multicellular animals. It is the main component of the extracellular fluid
