Unit 2 Flashcards
is the basic unit of any living organ that replicate on its own determining growth
Cell
What are the General Functions of the Cells?
- Cells provide structure for the body
- Absorbs nutrients from food for energy to carry out functions well
the outer semi-solid covering of the cell, this facilitates movement of cell organs to other places and gives protection to the cell
Cell Membrane
Regulates exchange of substances from the cell to outside atmosphere
Cell Membrane
moving chromosomes, these play a vital role in cell division by pairing with chromosomes, allowing it to split and attaching to each new daughter cell
Microtubules
is the microtubule organizing center, regulates cell cycle via assembly of microtubules
Centrosome
thin protein structures, these hold and give shape of the cell like the microtubules and facilitates movement
Microfilaments
these digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria
Lysosome
it synthesizes lipids, phospholipids (as in plasma membranes), and steroids
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Present in cells of testes, ovaries, and skin oil glands
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
small cell organelles, these store and transport substances to and from one cell to another and from one part of a cell to another
Secretory Vesicle
responsible for oxidation reactions that break down fatty acids and amino acids
Peroxisome
Neutralize free radicals which cause cellular damage and cell death
Peroxisome
Store nutrients (NaCl, water, CHON, and CHO) for the cell for survival and store waste products so the rest of the cells are protected from contamination
Vacuole
the filling fluid of the cell, it is the place where cell organs like golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria is freely floating for protection
Cytoplasm
are pinched off the membranes and float through the cell
Golgi vesicles
is a series of membranes shaped like pancakes
Golgi apparatus
these are responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging of proteins for secretion
Golgi vesicles and Golgi Apparatus
Are also involved in lipid cell transport and the creation of lysosomes
Golgi vesicles and Golgi Apparatus
compresses the DNA into a compact unit that will be less voluminous and can fit within the muscles
Chromatin
controls/regulates the cell activities (eg: growth and metabolism) & carries the genes, structures that contain the hereditary information
Nucleus
helps in protein synthesis and production of the ribosome in the cells
Nucleolus
involved with the production, folding, quality control, and dispatch of some proteins
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
If RER is for ___ while SER is for ___
proteins
lipid manufacture and metabolism
are protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell
these build and connect one amino acid at a time and build long chains
Ribosomes
provide mechanical support for the plasma membrane but do not participate in cell motility
Intermediate Filament
the powerhouse of the cell since they are always bundling or collecting energy to be able to supply continuous energy to the cell
Mitochondria
it is the continuous supply of mitochondria by the breaking down of nutrients to all parts of the body
cellular respiration
a group of cells that usually have a common origin in an embryo and function together to carry out specialized activities
Tissues
the study of tissues
Histology
a physician that specializes in laboratory studies of cells and tissues to help other doctors make accurate diagnoses
Pathologist
What are the types of tissues?
- Epithelial Tissues
- Connective Tissues
- Muscle Tissues
- Nervous Tissues
performs functions like protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception
Epithelial Tissues
the tissue that lines GI tract organs and other hollow organs, also the skin surface
Epithelial Tissues
What are the types of Epithelial tissues?
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Simple Columnar Epithelium
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
Transitional Epithelium
found in the air sacs of the lungs, the lining of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels
Simple Squamous Epithelium
allows materials to pass through diffusion or filtration and secrete lubricating substance
Simple Squamous Epithelium
found in ducts and secretory portions of the small glands and in the kidney tubules
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
its functions are to secret and absorb
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
ciliated tissues are in the bronchi, uterine tubes, and uterus; non ciliated or smooth are in the digestive tract and bladder
Simple Columnar Epithelium
these secret mucus; ciliated tissue moves mucus
Simple Columnar Epithelium
these line the esophagus, mouth, and vagine
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
