Mod 10 Cell and Tissue Form Flashcards
in multicellular organism , cells come together to form
tissues
two or more tissues make
organ
structural protein networks that work in cytoplasm
cytoskeleton
anchor one cell to another
cellular junctions
meshwork of proteins and polysaccharides outside the cell
extracellular matrix (ECM)
what are the components in between cells
celluar junctions, and ECM
what are the two layers of skin
Epidermis and dermis
what is epidermis
protective outer barrier, water resistant
what is dermis
layer beneath epidermis and supports and supplies with nutrients
what are the four types of tissues in animals?
epithelial tissue, connective, muscle, nervous
what does epithelial tissue cover?
the outside of the body and lines many internal structures of the body
what is the epidermis composed of?
epithelial cells called keratinocytes - protect underlying tissues and organs
what do melanocytes do
produce pigments of the skin
what is the basal lamina
support epithelial cells, specialized ECM below bottom layer of epidermis
wha tis connective tissue?
structure and support, dermis to support epidermis, connects nerves and blood vessels
what are the three types of cytoskeletons
microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments
all eukaryotic cells have which type of cytoskeleton?
microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments
which cytoskeleton is part of animal cells?
intermediate filaments
what is microfilament made up of ?
double helix of actin monomers, thinnest, short and extensively branched, support and stable in compact area, organize proteins, in various locations of cytoplasm
what are intermediate filaments made up?
strong fiber composed of protein subunits
what are microtubules made up of?
hollow tube formed form tubulin dimers
- alpha tubulin
- beta tubulin
what are the functions of microtubules?
form centrosome
helps to maintain cell shape and withstand compression
organelles secured to microtubules guide arrangement of organelles in the cell
undergo random cycles of shrinkage and slower growth called depolymerization, and polymerization
what are the functions of microfilaments
provide stability to microvillus and keep upright.
how are microtubules and microfilaments dynamic?
always changing, become longer adding subunits, and shrink by losing subunits
have faster and slower ends
faster growing end - plus end
slower growing end - minus end
speed is key to whole event
