A

Cytoskeleton

17
Q

Form mitotic spindle; needed to form cilia and flagella

A

Centrosomes (centrioles)

18
Q

Abundant, hair-like cell projections that move fluids and particles along the cell surface

A

Cilia

19
Q

What is a long cell projection; whip-like motion moves sperm

A

Flagella

20
Q

What types of cells are:

Long, cylindrical cells that contain specialized proteins that enable them to contract to move bones. The contractile proteins are organized into repeating units that can be observed in the light microscope as striations.

A

Skeletal muscle

21
Q

What do you call something that’s covered in microscopic projections that look like tiny hairs. _______ cells use a sweeping motion to remove toxins from your lungs.

A

Ciliated / Ciliated cells

22
Q

In a cell, what increases the surface area of the plasma membrane which provides a larger area for absorption of nutrients along the gastrointestinal tract or secretion of product from glands?

A

Microvilli

23
Q

What are nervous tissue cells with many processes that receive info from other neurons and send electrical signals to muscle cells causing them to contact?

A

Motor neurons

24
Q

What type of cells are:

Small, oval cells with a flagellum that propels them through the female reproductive tract?

A

Sperm Cells

25
Q

What type of cells:

Do not have a nucleus but contain large amounts of hemoglobin, a red pigment that binds oxygen?

A

Red blood cells

26
Q

What type of cells:

Have nuclei with different shapes and defend the body from pathogens and cancerous cells.

A

White blood cells

27
Q

What is it called when one cell divides to produce 2 genetically identical cells?

A

Somatic cell division

28
Q

The cell cycle begins when _________, and ends when ________.

A

a cell is produced by cell division, when that cell divides.

29
Q

What is the Interphase of the cell cycle?

A

Long period when the cell lives and grows. DNA replicates. (inter= between)

30
Q

What is the Mitotic phase of the cell cycle?

A

When the cell is dividing (this includes mitosis, which is nuclear division) (also includes cytokinesis, which is cytoplasmic division)

31
Q

What is the embryonic stage called where cells are dividing rapidly, providing many cells in different stages of mitosis?

A

Blastula

32
Q

A stage of mitosis where the nucleolus and nuclear membrane disappear; chromatin condenses into chromosomes; centrioles move to opposite poles; spindle fibers form

A

Prophase (pro = first)

33
Q

A stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up at metaphasal plate; spindle fibers attach to centromeres of chromatids

A

Metaphase (meta = next)

34
Q

A stage of mitosis where chromatids of chromosomes separate; move to opposite poles

A

Anaphase (ana = apart)

35
Q

A stage of mitosis where cell reverses prophase activities

A

Telophase (telo = end)

36
Q

Cytoplasmic division into 2 genetically identical daughter cells

A

Cytokinesis
