Question Related Flashcards
Flagellum
•Long, single, whiplike process with axoneme
•Sperm mobility
Cilia
•Long hair like projections of social cell surface
•Move substances along cell structure
•Widespread sensory roles
Microvilli
•Short hairlike processes around cell surface
•Increases absorvstive surface area
Cytokinesis vs Passing of cells (Telophase)
•Cytokinesis final step of cell division in both mitosis/meiosis separating 2 daughter cells
•Completed AFTER telophase
•Telophase - Follows anaphase
•Final step of nuclear division
•Final step of karyokinesis
Plasma Membrane (Cell membrane)
•2 dark lines of cell contents
•Regulates exchange of material between cytoplasm & extracellular fluid
•Prevents escape of cell content
•Intercellular communication
Cytokinesis
•Division of cytoplasm into 2 cells
•@ the end of mitosis and meiosis
Lysosomes
•Round oval sacs with single enclosing membrane
•Contain enzymes for intercellular digestion, autophagy, programmed cell death, and glucose mobilization
Golgi Vesicles
•Round to irregular sacs near Golgi complex
•Secretory vesicles & carry cell products to apical surface for exocytosis or become lysosomes
Golgi Complex
•Closely spaced parallel cisterns with thick edges - near nucleus
•Receives and modifies newly synthesized polypeptides — synthesized carbohydrates
•Adds carbohydrates to glycoproteins
•Packages cell production in Golgi Vesicle
Centrosomes
•Near nucleus, small clear patch of cytoplasm
•Cell division
•Clear area near nucleus contains pair of centrioles
•Organizing center for formation of micro tubules of cytoskeleton and mitonic spindle
Proteasome’s
•Protein disposal function
•Degrade more than 80% of cell proteins
•Enzymes unfold and break down into amino acids & short peptides
•Hollow cylindrical protein complexes in cytoplasm/nucleus
Isotonic
•No net flow of water in nor out
•Stable same volume in cell
Hypotonic
•Low concentration of water
•Absorb water and swell (crenate)
•Cell gains volume
•Solute concentration outside cell is lower than inside
Hypertonic
•Net flow of water OUT the cell
•Cell loses volume
•Solute concentration higher than inside cell
•Cell shrinks (Crenate)
IV Solutions
•Isotonic— Same osmolarity
•Hypertonic— Higher osmolarity
•Hypotonic— Lower osmolarity
Nucleolus Function
•Larger nuclear organelle
•Primary location for ribosome production
•Composed of RNA & protein
•Eye if the nucleus
Rough ER
•Site if protein synthesis & lipid synthesis
•Contains more ribosomes than smooth
Smooth ER
•Lacks ribosomes
•Lipid synthesis
of chromosomes
•46 total— Mitosis— Haploid
•23 total __ Meiosis __ Diploid
Tight Junction
•Formed by fusion of the outer layer of 2 plasma membranes of2 adjacent cells = Water tight seals
•Forms nearly imperiable barrier = prevents passage of water and solutes between cells
(Ex: Stomach / Lining of bladder)
Gap Junction
•Cell-to-cell adhesión molecules that attach 2 cells together via proteins
•Direct /Rapid communication between cells
•••CONNEXONS••• — Pore acts as a channel between cells allowing 2 adj. cells to share cytoplasm
!! — Allows ions/molecules to pass between 2 cells
Synovial Membranes
•Synovium
•Composed of loose connective tissues w/ epithelial tissue
•Lines cavities of joints/tendons sheaths
•Produce lubricant (synovial fluid)
Serous Membrane
•Serosa
•Mesothelium (sheet of simple squamos epithelium) + thin underlying layer of areolar connective tissue
***Pariental/ Visceral/ Serous fluid — Lines walls of internal organs / covers internal organs/ between both
Cutaneous Membrane
•Term for skin
•Largest membrane
•Consists of stratified squamous epithelium (epidermis) + layer of connective tissue (dermis)
Mucous membranes
•Protects structure from external forces
•Contains “goblet cells”— secreting cells
•Stratified squamous epithelial / simple columnar epithelium + smooth muscle
•Composed— Epithelial tissue attached to an underlying layer of areolar connective tissue (Lamina Propria)
Tissue Types (MENC)
•Muscle— Contract providing movement
•Epithelial— Ground of cells that cover exterior surface of body
•Nervous— Generation/Propagation I’d electrochemical signals in form of impulses that communicate between body regions
•Connective— Binds cells and organs
Extracellular Matrix
•Large network of proteins and other molecule that support/surround
•Give structure to cells
•Helps cells attach/ communicate/
Movement /grown
!! — Epithelial/ Connective/ Nervous/ Muscular
Interphase
•Stage where DNA would be made
•G1phase— Cell grows physically larger/ Copies organelles/ Molecular building blocks
•S phase— Complete copy of DNA in nucleus
•G2 phase— More growing of cell/ proteins/ organelles / reorganize to start mitosis
