Organelles & Tissues Flashcards
Cell Membrane
Controls what goes in and out of cell (the bouncer)
Nucleus
brain of cell
Cytoplasm
holds organelles in place (stapler in jello)
Mitochondria
makes energy (powerhouse)
Golgi Apparatus
packages proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum
transports proteins
Ribosomes
makes proteins
Lysosome
disposes of waste
Differentiation
the process by which a cell becomes specialized to perform a specific function.
Epithelial Tissue
Sheets of cells that cover the exterior surfaces of the body(skin)Lining of hollow organs
Connective Tissue
Binds the cells and organs of the body together and functions in the protection, support, and integration of all parts of the body
(Fat and other soft tissues)
(Bone Tendons)
Muscle Tissue
Responds to stimulation and contracts to provide movement three major types: Skeletal (voluntary) Smooth Cardiac (heart)
Nervous Tissue
Allows the propagation of electrochemical signals in the form of nerve impulses that communicate between different regions of the body
(Brain)
(Spinal cord)
(Nerves)
Tissue Membranes
Thin layer or sheet of cells that cover the outside of the body, organs, internal passageways, and lining of moveable joint cavities
