PINOCYTOIC VESICLE
place in cell membrane that allows waste to pass out
CENTRIOLES
look like flowers; important in the cell cycle/mitosis
CELL MEMBRANE:
First line of defense; protects cell from the environment; maintains the integrity of the cell; “selectively permeable” in that it regulates what comes in/out of cell
NUCLEUS:

Animal cells
Round or ovoid in structure
Plant cells
Square or rectangular ; also have cell walls in addition to cell membranes
HYPOTONIC
A hypotonic solution has lower osmotic pressure meaning more water can enter the cell than can exit; the membrane of the cell can rupture and the cell die (ex. water balloon) *she called this plasmoptysis in class; book says they hemolyze
HYPERTONIC
: A hypertonic solution has higher osmotic pressure meaning that more water will exit the cell than can enter; the cell shrinks and can die (ex. grape to raisin) *she called this plasmolysis
ISOTONIC
The ideal solution for cells; equal passage of water in/out resulting in no change for the cells; an isotonic solution has the same osmotic pressure as body fluids
DIFFUSION
The movement of atoms/molecules/ions to move from area of higher concentration to area of lower concentration (ex. perfume)
OSMOSIS
The diffusion of water molecules across membranes; specific only to water
FILTRATION
The separation of solids from fluids (blood pressure forces filtration through capillaries)
MITOSIS
Cell division of somatic (normal body) cells; DOES NOT include sex or gamete cells; 4 main stages (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telephase)
MEIOSIS
The means in which sex cells or gametes reproduce
The cell life cycle
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telephase, apoptosis
INTERPHASE
we added the drawing of a basic cell with nucleus; this is the state in which a cell spends most of its time growing and preparing for mitosis
PROPHASE
chromosomes are becoming visible; nuclear membrane disappears; centrioles appear/become visible; spindle fibers (long) and aster rays (short) appear
METAPHASE
centrioles move to opposite sides/poles of the cell; chromosomes move to the middle of the cell; spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes
ANAPHASE
chromosomes pulled apart and moved to opposite poles/sides of the cell by the spindle fibers; the cell elongates in preparation to divide (looks more ovoid)
TELEPHASE
cleavage furrow appears; spindle fibers disappear; cytoplasm disappears so cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm) can occur; nuclear membrane reappears as part of karyokinesis (division of nucleus); end up with two identical daughter cells that are identical to the original cell
APOPTOSIS
Cell death also called “programmed cell death” since it is part of the normal development of the cell
Cell/plasma membrane
Selectively permeable
Nucleus
Controls all of the metabolic activity of the cell
Cytoplasm

Endoplasmic reticulum is called ____________ if it has ribosomes attached to it
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
The endoplasmic reticulum is called _______________ if there are no ribosomes attached to it
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
Vesicles
Small sacs that transport material (particularly wastes material) throughout the cell
Can be found around the Golgi apparatus and sometimes the Rough endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Apparatus/Complex is responsible
For packaging up material that needs to be expelled from the cell
Vesicles around the Golgi will take waste material from the
Golgi and fuse with the cell membrane in order to rid the waste from the cell
Mitochondria
Are responsible for providing the cell with energy
Energy stored from mitochondria is stored as
Adenosine triphosphate
Lysosomes are
digesting worn out cell parts using enzymes

Hypertonic –
the amount of water exiting the cell is greater than the amount of water entering the cell.
Plasmolysis
Can occur , cell shrinks and dies
Isotonic
The amount of water entering the cell is equal to the amount of water exiting the cell .
Hypotonic
The amount of water entering the cell is greater than the amount of water exiting the cell .
Plasmoptysis
Can occur; cell swells, ruptures and dies.
Endocytosis
The process by which cells take in materials
Phagocytosis
The process in which cells take in solid matter
Pinocytosis

Exocytosis
The process by which cells expels material, whether it is a solid or a liquid.
Interphase
Nucleus clearly defined •Chromosomes not visible •Cell is preparing for mitosis •Mitosis – the cellular division of somatic cells •Consists of four stages
Prophase
First stage of mitosis
•Chromosomes become long and thin
•Centrioles, aster rays, and spindle fibers appear during this stage
•The nuclear envelope is initial intact, but eventually disappears
•Toward the end of prophase, the chromosomes pair
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
•Spindle fibers attach to each side of the chromosomes
•Centrioles and aster rays migrate to opposite poles of the cell
Anaphase
Chromosomes are pulled apart and migrate toward opposite poles of the cell
•Cell shape begins to elongate as two cells begin to develop
Telophase
Two daughter cells develop that are identical to the original parent cell
•Spindle fibers and aster rays disappear
•The nuclear envelop reforms
•Cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm) occurs
•Karyokinesis (division of the nucleus)occurs
HISTOLOGY
is the study of tissues; there are FOUR types of tissue: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
covers the body
LAYERS
Layers start at the BASEMENT MEMBRANE (which has a basal layer-top and a reticular fiber layer-bottom) which is the point of attachment for cells.
Simple
Only one layer of cells; all cells touch the basement membrane (check nuclei)
Stratified
More than one layers of cells; not all cells touch the basement layer
Psuedostratified
Falsely” layered; all cells touch the basement membrane (check nuclei)
SHAPE
Squamous, cubiodal, columnar, transitional
Squamous:
Flat; look like “fried eggs” along basement membrane
Cuboidal:
Cube-shaped along basement membrane
Columnar:
Column or rectangular looking along basement membrane
Transitional
Change shape up layers; understood it’s stratified so label it “transitional E.T.”
CONNECTIVE TISSUE:
ADIPOSE (fat tissue) is most important to funeral student due to water content; we also discussed cartilage, bone, and blood.
ADIOPOCYTES
Fat cells; so full of water that water pushes or flattens nucleus of cell to the side; this water produces a “secondary dilution” of arterial fluid in embalming process and could require a higher strength or concentration (index number) of embalming solute/solution; remember her drawing on the board and discussion regarding embalming a 300lb body vs. a 98lb body
CARTILAGE
Listed from most flexible (least visible muscle fibers) to least flexible (most visible muscle fibers/dense matrix).
Hyaline
Very flexible; ex. ribs in thoracic cavity or tip of nose
Elastic
Medium flexibility; ex. external parts of ear (inner rim)
Fibrocartilage
Least flexible; ex. pubic symphysis or joints (book says it acts as a “shock absorber”)
Epiphysis
Ends of long bone (such as femur)
Diaphysis
Shaft of long bone (such as femur)
Spongy or cancellous bone
The end of long bone where red blood cells are made via hematopoesis
Compact bone:
Outer edge of long bones; contains Osteons
▪ The second diagram on page one of the handout deals with Osteons or compact bone, and she used an analogy to help remember parts: osteons look like tree ring/neighborhoodss and contain osteocytes (bone cells)/homes that are black dashes; lacunas/yards are the space around osteocytes/homes; osteocytes/homes are on lamellas (the space between concentric rings of osteons)/streets; canaliculi (cytoplasmic projections)/phone lines provide communication between osteocytes/homes; and the Haversian or central canal acts as the power source for the osteon/neighborhood.
