PRELIM 1ST SEM Flashcards
Used to see object under study
Eyepiece or Ocular lens
Connect s eyepiece to the objective lenses
Tube or Body tube
has holders for the different objective lenses; allows rotation of the lenses when viewing
Revolving nosepiece
there are at least 3-4 of these found on a microscope with different ranges of powers
Objective lenses
helps in controlling the amount of of light passing through the opening of the stage
Diaphragm
used for focus on scanning and low power lenses
Coarse Adjustment Knob
used for focus on oil and high power lenses
Fine adjustment knob
supports the tube of microscope and connects to the base of the microscope
Arm
the platform that is used for placing the slides under observation
Stage
holds the slides in place
Stage Clips
focuses the light on the specimen
Condenser
provides support for the micrscope
Base
turns the illumination on or off
Power switch
controls movement of substances into and out of the cell
Plasma Membrane
folds of the plasma membrane that increase the surface area of the cell to increase absorption or secretion
Microvilli
contains DNA molecules and nucleolus
Nucleus
assembly site for ribosomes
Nucleolus
long thin strand of nucleus composed of one DNA molecule and associated proteins
Chromatin
area of the cell that includes cytosol and organelles
Cytoplasm
fluid portion of the cytoplasm
Cytosol
makes ATP via aerobic cellular respiration
Mitochondria
site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
processes and transports proteins made at attached ribosomes
; synthesizes phospholipids
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
fatty acid and steroid synthesis; detoxifies toxic substances
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
receives and modifies proteins from RER; sorts & transports them
Golgi Complex
secretes substances outside the cell by exocytosis
Secretory Vesicles
enzymes digest & recycle worn out organelles & substances entering the cell
Lysosome
produce hydrogen peroxide; detoxify harmful substances
Peroxisome
maintain cell shape & involved in cell movement & movement of organelles
Cytoskeleton
form mitotic spindle; needed to form cilia & flagella
Centrosome
abundant, hair-like cell projections that move fluids & particles along the cell surface
Cilia
long cell projection; whip like motion moves sperm
Flagella
intracellular fluid
Cytosol
double membrane that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
Nuclear Envelope
A small membranous sac that delivers proteins to the plasma membrane
