Test 2 Vocab Flashcards
Cells
Structural/Functional unit that makes up organisms
Characteristics of Prokaryotes
Small, Older, No Nucleus, No Membrane-Bound Organelles.
Characteristics of Eukaryotes
Multicellular, Membrane bound organelles, have a nucleus, evolved from Prokaryotes
Characteristics of both Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
Have DNA, Ribosomes, and Plasma Membranes
Differentiation
Different genes turned on and off to establish function and structure.
Rough ER Function
Protein synthesis, specially to cell or outside of it.
Polysome Function
Linked by MRNA, Make cytoplasmic proteins
Free Ribosomes Function
No Function
Endosymbiotic Theory
The idea that Eukaryotes come from prokaryotes,
Evidence: different DNA in mitochondria and Chloroplast/x2 membrane of bacterial and host.
How? Infolded membrane, increased size, engulfing other prokaryotes without digesting them.
Cytoskeleton Structure/function
Structure: Protein(Filamentous) + Interact/Connect with other structures
Function: Movement/Stabilizing of Cell
*Prokaryotes don’t need it b/c they have less organelles/cell wall determines shape.
Histology
Study of tissues
Tissue
Group of cells, similar in structure, function, embryological origin
Epithelial Tissues
Lines Surface, forms all 3 layers
Connective Tissue
Support, forms from mesoderm
Muscle Tissue
Generate Movement
Nervous Tissue
Ability to communicate
Function of Epithelial Tissue
Lines surfaces (Internal and External(Protection)) + Forms glands (Downgrowth of Epithelia)
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue
Littler Intercellular Material, Tight cell junctions, Avascular, and Polar
Classification of Epithelial Tissue
Simple (1 Layer) Vs. Stratified (>1 Layer)
Flat=Squamous, Square=Cuboidal, Tall=Columnar
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Controls permeability(Diffusion/Filtration)
Reduces Friction
Secretion(Mucus)
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Absorption(Movement of Molecules)
Secretion
Limited Protection
Simple Columnar Epithelium
Secretion via Goblet cells(Mucus)
Absorption via Microvilli(Increase SA)
Protection
Movement via Cilia
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
Protection(Reproductive/Respiratory)
Secretion-Goblet cells
Movement via Cilia
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Very protective
Dry Vs. Wet
Connective Tissue General Concepts
Most abundant, most variation, lots of intercellular material, no contract with outside environment.
Composition of Connective Tissue
Cells: Fibroblasts-Make tissue
Fibers/Proteins-Collagen(Long, thick, and strong) and Elastin(Thin, branched and stretchy)
Ground substance: Carbs and Minerals
Dense Regular Tissue
Attachment/Stabilization
Made of Tendons(Attach muscles to bones) and Ligaments(Attach 2 bones.
Very strong in 1 direction
Dense irregular Tissue
Strength in multiple directions
Avascular
Packed with collagen
Loose (areolar) C.T.
Keeps organs aligned/Separated
Vascular
Cells: Fibroblasts/Cytes
Adipose Tissue
Store Energy, Absorb Shock, insulation, Vascular
Hyaline Cartilage
Protection
Shock Absorption
Model for bone development
On ends of bones
avascular
