Q

Cell Theory

A

Has 4 concepts

  1. Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms. when you define cell properties, you define the properties of life.
  2. The activity of an organism depends on both the individual and the coleective activities of its cells.
  3. According to the principle of complemetary of structure and function, the biochemical activities of cells are dictated by their shapes or forms, and by the relative number of theri specific subcellular structures.
  4. Continuity of life from one generation to another has a celualer basis.

Q

Plasma Membrane

A

The outer layer of the cell. Membrane made of a double layer of lipids(phospholipids, cholesterol) within chich proteins are embedded.

Function-serves as an external cell barrier, and acts in transport of substances into or out of the cell. Maintains a resting potential that is essetial for functioning of excitable cells. it does membrane transport, catalysis, and cell to cell recognition..

25
Lysosomes
Called the breaks down. b=bag of digestive enzymes. digestion
26
Endomembrane System
Is a system of organelles that work together mainly to work (1) produce, degrade,store, and export biological milecules, and (2)portentially harmful substances. It includes the ER,Golgi apparatus, secretory vesicles, and lysosomes as well as the nuclear membrane.
27
Nucleoli
are dark straining spherical bodies found within the nucleus where ribosomal subunits are assembled. RNA storage
28
Mitosis(process)
Division of nucleus-DNA gets divided that each new cell gets the right copy of DNA. Mitosis is the series of events that parcels out the replicated of DNA of the mother cell to 2 daughter cells. described as 4 phases-prophase,metapohasemanaphase, and telophase.
29
Interphase
Time when cell not dividing- just doing its everyday job at the end of interphase the DNA is relecated.(copied)
30
Prophase
Nuclear disappear and the chromatid will condense into chromosomes. where the centroiles set up the mitotic spindle
31
Metaphase
Everything lines up in middle equator. Enzymes act to seperate the chromatids from each other
32
Anaphase
Shortest phase of mitosis. Begins abruptly as the centromeres of the chromosomes split simultaneously. Pulls apart vaccums are working.
33
Telophase
Is the final phase of mitosis. See dimpling of 2 cells, nuclear envelope froming, nucleolis reappears.
34
Cytokinesis(movement)
The division of the cytoplasm. Begins during late anaphase and is completed after mitosis ends.
35
Chromosomes

36
Cytosol
Viscous, semitransparent fluid substance of cytoplasm in which other elements are suspended.
37
Hypertonic Solution
A solution that has a high concentration of nonpenetrating solutes than the reference cell, having greater osmotic pressure than the reference solution(blood plasma or interstitial fluid)
38
Hypotonic Solution
A solution that is more dilute(containing fewer nonpentrating solutes) than the reference cell. Cells placed in hypotonic solutions plump up rapidly as water rushes into them.
39
Meiosis
Nuclear division process that reduces the chromosomal number by half and results in the formation of 4 haploid cells, occurs onlu in certain reproductive organs
40
Ribosomal RNA
A constituent of ribosome exists within the ribosomes of cyoplasm and assists in protein sythesis.
41
Cytoskeleton
The scaffold like framwork of the cell, composed of threadlike microfilament, microtubules, and thick and then filaments.

54
The Skin
Functions- Barrier,physical,chemicals-keeps out bad,,biological-keeps out bacteria and viruses. 2. Body Temp regulation-Sweat 3. Sensory reception-sense of touch 4. Makes Vit D-Sunlight 5. Plays a role in excretion-scmall amounts of waste released thru sweat. 6. Acts as blood resevoir-can hold up to 5% of blood volume. Protection
55
Hypodermis(superficial fascia)
Subcutaneous tissue just deep to the skin, consists of adipose plus some areolar connective tissue
56
Epidermis
Superficial layer of the skin,composed of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. Ousid layer of skin-Avascular-no blood supply. Nutrients are supplied to upper layer by simple diffusion.
57

Produce a protein called keratin. Look like fish scales. Reptiles have a lot. Protective protein. Helps keep water in and phusically tough protein, Most common.
58
Melanocytes
Produce pigment called melanin. Spider-shaped. makes a melanin and transfers it to keratincytes where it accumalates on the sunny side of DNA. Protects nuculeous from UV rays of the sun.
59
Langerhans Cells
Macrophages-big eaters-body defense cell that eat bacteria or viruses that get into the skin. Activate immune system. Bone marrow. Star shaped
60
Merkel Cells
Spikey Hemisphere half circle. Associated with sense of touch. sensory nerve. Brush off cells.
61
Stratum Corneum(Horny Layer)
The outermost epidermal layer 20-30 cell layers thick dead cells filled with keratin. waterproofing, protection from physical assualts.
62
Stratum Lucidum(clear Layer)
Hands(palms) and feet(soles)-Thick skin
63
Stratum granulosum(granular layer)
Contsists of 4-6 cell layers in which karatinocyte appearances change drastically, and process of keratinization begins. accumalates more keratin
64
Stratum Spinosum(Prickly layer)
is several layers thick. Prickly porcipine. active protein synthesis anchors to dermis.
65
Stratum Basale(basal layer)
Deepest layer, connected to dermis, see occasional melanocytes and dendritic cells.
66
Dermis
Middlelayer of skin-true skin-strong flexible connective tissue. Fibroblasts,macrophages,and occasional mast cells and white blood cells.
67
Papillary Layer
aerola connective tissue with collogen and elastic fibers. thin, superior, ridges on this layer respsponsible for fingerprints. fingerprints genetically determined. Increased friction and gripping ability of both hands and feet.
68
reticular layer
the deeper layer, accounting for about 80% of thickness of dermis. interior collogen elastic fibers gives dermis its strength and resilency.stretch ,arks are in the dermal tears. Blister is where epidermis and dermis seperate.
69
Subcutaneous fat layer
Deep layer of skin, energy most vascular alot of blood supply source
70
pigments
contribute to skin color, melanin,carotene,and hemoglobin
