Week 2 - Exam 1 Flashcards
histo
tissue
logos/logy
study of
human body has how many cells
90 trillion
cell components:
membrane, nucleus, ER, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, cytoskeleton
phospholipid bilayer structure
hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tail; makes up the membrane
functions of cell membranes
encloses cytoplasm, separates from extracellular space, allows for selective permeability, cellular recognition (i.e.: organ transplant)
components of a nucleus
chromosomes, nucleolus, nuclear envelope, nuclear pores, chromatin
functions of a nucleus
controls cell activity, mitosis (replication via division)
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
no ribosomes, synthesis of glycogen and lipids
rough endoplasmic reticulum
ribosomes present, synthesis of proteins i.e.: enzymes
Golgi apparatus function
replaces cell membrane, packaging of cell products to extracellular space, “bubbling”
lysosomes function
contain enzymes, digestion, metabolism
mitochondria function
produce energy via Kreb cycle
cytoskeleton function
keeps structures in place, allows for mobility, “spider web”, “scaffolding”
simple squamous
flat, “scales of fish”
