Study Guide Exam 1 Flashcards
What are the levels of human structures? And explain them.
- Organism (completely individual, can function on it’s own)
- Organ systems (A group of organs that do specific functions)
- Organs (composed of two or more tissue types)
- Tissues (A mass of similar cells that work together to do a specific function)
- Cells (Smallest living unit)
- Organelles (Small structures in a cell that carry out specific functions in the cell)
- Molecules (Particles of at least 2 atoms that are chemically bonded)
- Atoms ( you know this already on the slides though)

they are proteins that are imbedded into the lipid bi layer
What are transmembrane proteins?
They go through the bilayer
What are receptor proteins?
It passes the message through to the inside of the bilayer
What are enzyme proteins?
they break down a certain thing when it attaches to it
What are channel proteins?
It lets stuff through
What are gated channel proteins?
it opens and closes and lets certain things through
what are cell-identity molecules?
it identifies the things that attach to it
what are Tight junctions?
it links the cells together like a zipper NOTHING GETS THROUGH
What are desmosomes of the cell junctions?
It prevents substances from pulling a part. It DOES NOT prevent things from going through or around them. It is like a snap on a onsie
What are gap junctions?
it links cells together and allow small substances to be transported between cells
DO THE QUIZLET AND LEARN ABOUT Demonstrate a basic understanding of each of the cell components and their function;
Outline the processes for moving material into and out of a cell
What does epithelial tissue do?
covers surface or secretes but also forms glands and is made out of epithelial cells. IT is avascular
What does connective tissue do?
binds/connects
What does muscle tissue do?
contracts or shortens
What does nervous tissue do?
conducts impulses

What are the 4 categories of connective tissue?
- fibroblasts (connective tissue proper)
- adipose tissue
- supportive tissue
- fluid connective tissue
What do fibroblasts do?
Produce fibers and ground substance
How do you classify Dense CT and Loose CT?
Dense CT- It has a lot of fibers and cells but little ground substance (not a lot of space)
Loose CT- not a lot of cells and fibers but A LOT of ground substance (space)
What is adipose tissue?
The dominant cell type that is filled with fat. They are fat cells
What is supportive connective tissue?
It is bone tissue (hard CT)
What is areolar tissue?
It is loose CT that has a lot of empty space and surrounds organs and binds them to other organs and organ systems
What is reticular CT?
It is a loose CT that forms the structural framework of organs in the immune system
What is dense regular CT?
It is a dense CT that the fibers are parallel and closely packed together (like ligaments)
What is dense irregular CT?
Random arrangement of fibers that go many directions that help with unpredictable stress
What are the 2 forms of supportive connective tissue and their functions/definitions?
Compact bone- more complex and it forms the outside of the bone
Spongy bone- less organized and fills the heads of long bones and middle layer of flat bones
Define cartilage
A stiff connective tissue with a flexible rubbery matrix and is avascular
What is fluid connective tissue?
It is blood and other fluid stuff
Define muscle tissue
Contracts or shortens when there is no signal and very little extracellular matrix

Voluntary movement, Large and cylinder shaped with multiple nuclei and have striations
Define smooth muscles
Found in the viscera, are fusiform shaped and only have one nucleus that is in the center with no striations, involuntary movement
Define cardiac muscles
smaller cells, it branches out and only have one nucleus, involuntary movement
Define nervous tissue
Nervous tissue is specialized for communication via electrical and chemical signals
What is tissue growth?
When Tissues grow because their cells increase in number NOT size
What is metaplasia in different tissue types?
- Metaplasia (a change from one type of mature tissue to another) CAN REVERSE
What is Differentiation in different tissue types?
- Differentiation ( development of a more specialized form)
What is Dysplasia in different tissue types?
- Dysplasia (an increasing degree of disordered growth of the tissue CAN REVERSE
What is Neoplasia in different tissue types?
Neoplasia ( is the development of a tumor) CANNOT REVERSE
What is Hyperplasia in different tissue types?
Hyperplasia (cell multiplication)
Hypertrophy (enlargement of preexisting cells)
What is the difference between the gland and a membrane?
gland- is a cell or organ that secretes substances for use elsewhere in the body or for elimination as waste
Membrane- A membrane is a thin sheet of tissue acting as a boundary or lining in the body. Membranes can be composed of epithelium, CT only or both
Why do cells grow in number instead of getter larger?
because once the size gets too big they have to divide which makes things grow in our bodies
What are compact bones?
- Forms the outer shell of the bone and forms the majority of the bone
