Cell
structural and functional unit of all living matter, vary in size shape and function
Cell membrane
doorman
physically holds it together and selects substabces to entor or leave
Cell is encased in a cell membrane that is also called a plasma membrane, it separates the intracellular (inside) from the extracellular (outside of cell) physically holds it together. selects substances to enter or leave the cell
Semi Permiable
sellectively permiable, selecting and allowing substances in or out of the cell
Nucleus
Control center or power house of cell, controls the workings of an entire cell, contains the genetic info and controls protein synthesis
Nucleoplasm
substance that fills nucleus
Nuclear membrane
large pores that allow free movement of certain substances between the nucleus and cytoplasm
Cytoplasm
gel like substnce found in the cell but "outside the Nucleus" The gell in the cell is primarily comprised of water electrolytes and nutrients
Organelles
Part of the cytoplasm, little organs that play a specific role
Mitochondria
Slipper Shaped
How hard it works
Tiny slipper shaped organelles, the number depends on how hard the cell works
Ribosomes
Protein makers, some like to hang out in the ER
Cytoplasmic Organelles that are associated with protein synthesis
some are attatched to the Endoplasmic Reticulum "ER"
Endoplasmic Reticulum
"ER"
network of membranes within cytoplasm , the long folded membranes form channels for substances to move through, two types of ER Rough and Smooth
Rough ER
proteins
Rough sandpaprer like appearance , RER is concerned with protein synthesis , then hooks up with the Golgi Apparatus
Smoothe SER
lipids
steroids
SER is smoothe when the ER doesn't contain ribosomes on its surface it is smoothe and not sandpaper lke, it is sconcerned with lipids and steroids
Golgi Apparatus
Packages it up and wraps it
series of flattened membrane sacs , protien sythesized along ER are transported to Golgi thru channels formed by ER, golgi puts the finishing touches on protein, wraps it up
Lysosomes
Garbage Men (lysol)
clean the house
Phagocytosis
Membrane sacs that contain powerful enzymes; digestive organelles that break down waste and debris
Cytoskeleton

cells skeleton
tiny tube like structures that maintain the shape of the cell, assists in the movement
Centrioles
pairs
Paired rod like structures, key role is reproduction
Flagella
sperm
Whiplike similar to cilia because both are hairlike, thicker, longer with tail
sperm
Cilia
move mucus and
trapped dust away from lungs
short hairlike projections on outer surface
Movement across the cell membrane
Passive Transport
Active Transport
Passive transport
require no additional energy in the form of ATP
Diffusion
Facilitated diffusion
osmosis
filtration
Active Transport
requires an input of energy thru ATP
Active Transport Pumps
Endocytosis
(Phagocytosis)
(Pinocytosis)
Exocytois
Diffusion
Like Osmosis but without water
Movement of a substance from an area of higher concentration to an area with lower concentration
Facilitated Diffusion
like diffusion but has a "helper"
a "Helper" molecule within the membrane that assists the movement of substances from a higher concentrated to lower concentrated
Osmosis
brings a full glass of water to a person that is almost out
Movement of water(solvent) from an area with more water to an area with less
Filtration
Pushy
Movement of water and dissolved substance from an area of high pressure to an area with low pressure, the water and dissolved substances are pushed.
Active Transport Pumps
ATP
Uphill, packs low concentration to high, requires input
ATP moves a substance uphill (from an area of LOW concentration to an area of high Requires an input of energy
Endocytosis
takes in or ingests
Taking in or ingesting substances by the cell membrane
Pagocytosis
Cellular eating
Engulfing solid particles by the cell membrane
Pinocytosis
cellular drinking
Cell engulfs liquid droplets
Exocytosis
secretion, exiting debris and waste
process by which the cell secretes waste products out of cell
Isotonic Solution
same concentration as cellular fluid Iso means same
Saline IV
Hypertonic
too much salt in the solution, water rushes out causes the red blood cell to shink or crenate because water rushes out
Hypotonic
a solution containing no solute, water is dominant and will rush in to place with least amount, (osmosis) causing RBC to burst
RBC
red blood cell
Commonly used isotonic solution
Most IV solutions
5% (dextrose or glucose in water or DW5 and ringers solution,
