Module 2: Cells and Tissues Flashcards
_____ are the smallest unit that have all the characteristics of life.
CELLS
______ is the outermost component of the cell. It encloses the cytoplasm and forms the boundary between material inside the cell and outside of it.
PLASMA MEMBRANE
It functions as essential structural components of membranes, as signaling molecules, as chemical identifiers of specific membranes and as energy storage molecules.
MEMBRANE LIPIDS
_______ is a carrier-mediated process that moves substances across the cell membrane from regions of lower concentration to those of higher concentration against a concentration gradient.
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
The semifluid substance of a cell that is external to the nuclear membrane and internal to the cellular membrane, sometimes described as the nonnuclear content of protoplasm.
CYTOPLASM
__________ is a group of membranes and organelles in eukaryotic cells that works together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins.
ENDOMEMBRANE SYSTEM
It includes two major phases: Interphase and Cell Division.
CELL CYCLE
Groups of cells that are similar in structure and perform a common or related function.
TISSUES
Sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity, a boundary-forming tissue.
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
Type of Glands
Endocrine and Exocrine Glands
Group of tissues in the body that maintain the form of the body and its organs and provide cohesion and internal support.
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
3 Structural Components :
Ground substance, fibers, and cells.
Well-vascularized tissues that are responsible for most type of body movement.
MUSCLE TISSUE
It monitors and regulates the functions of the body.
NERVOUS TISSUE
Continuous multicellular sheets composed of at least 2 primary tissue types (epithelium + connective tissue)
MEMBRANES
