There are dense spherical bodies in this which are the synthesis cite for ribosomal RNA

Nucleolus

What makes up a membrane lipid?

75% phospholipids 5% glycolipids 20% cholesterol

Allow the plasma membrane to communicate with its environment. These make up about 1/2 of the plasma membranes mass.

Membrane protein

About 20% of the outer membrane surface of a cell is what?

lipid raft (more stable & less fluid)

A sugar covering at a cells surface. This allows the immune system to recognize itself and nonself (like cancer).

Glycocalyx

What are 6 main functions of membrane proteins?

1. Transport (move things around) 2. Receptors (for signal transduction) 3. Attachment to cytoskeleton & extracellular matrix 4. Enzymatic activity (looks for enzymes to help out) 5. Intercellular joining 6. Cell to cell recognition

What are 3 basic parts of a human cell?

1. plasma membrane 2. cytoplasm 3. Nucleus

Cells that come together to form communities

Cell junctions

What are 3 ways cells are bounded?

1. Tight Junctions 2. Gap junctions 3. desmosomes

The adjacent plasma membranes are very close and the cells are connected by hallow cylinders, they are know as communicating junctions

Gap junction

Mechanical couplings scattered like rivets or spot welds along the sides of abutting cells to prevent separation, also known as an anchoring junction

Desmosomes

Type of junction that helps prevent molecules from passing through the extracellular space between adjacent cells.

Tight junctions

What are 2 ways substances cross the plasma membrane ?

1. Passive process 2. Active process

The plasma membrane allowing some molecules to pass through easily and some not as much is called what?

Selectively permeable

In this process no ATP is required, and it moves down the concentration gradient.

Passive Process

In this process ATP is required and this only occurs in living cell membranes.

Active Process

What phase do those chromosomes split to opposite sides?

Anaphase

What phase do the chromosomes align on the spindle equator?

Metaphase

In what phase do the chromosomes uncoil to form chromatin?

Telophase

In what phase do the centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell?

Early Prophase

What phase does the nuclear membrane & nucleus disintegrate?

Late prophase

The conversion of fatty acids into acetyl groups.

Beta oxidation

Synthesis of lipids from glucose or amino acids

lipogenesis

Splitting triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids

lipolysis

When the liver converts acetyl CoA molecules to ketone bodies, which are released into the blood.

Ketogenesis

In the G.I tract what do proteins do?

Proteins break down to amino acids. Amino acids help w/ important structural material, hormone control, & nitrogen balance.

In the G.I tract what do carbohydrates do?

Break down glucose, the usage of glucose is carb molecule which fuel 4 ATP

In the G.I tract Fats break down into what 2 categories ?

1. Glycerol 2. Fatty Acid

What does glycerol do?

Absorbs fats, and makes muscles and myelin

What do fatty acids do?

Control blood pressure, and control inflammation

Glucose turns into what?

Glycolysis

Glycolysis takes place in what?

Cytosol

This produces the most ATP and involves oxygen which picks up excess hydrogen and electrons?

Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

This removes hydrogen electrons and CO2 from substrate molecule

Krebs

This is the break down of glucose to 2 pyruvic acid molecules.

Glycolysis

Formation of glucose from proteins of fats

gluconeogenisis

Storage of glucose in the form of glycogen

glycogenesis

The break down of glycogen to release glucose

glycogenolysis

Single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped central nuclei and sparse cytoplasm; the simplest

Simple Squamous Epithelium

Where are simple squamous epithelium cells located?

In the kidney glomeruli, air sacs of lungs, lining of heart/blood vessels/& lymphatic vessels, and finally the lining of ventral body cavity.

Single layer of cube like cells with large, spherical central nuclei.

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

Where are simple cuboidal epithelium cells located?

Kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portions of small glands, and ovary surface.

Thick membrane composed of several cell layers, 1. basal cells are cuboidal or columnar & metabolically active. 2. Surface cells are squamous (flattened).


Keratinized type: surface cells are full of keratin & dead; basal cells are active in mitosis & produce the cells of more superficial layers

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Where are Stratified Squamous Epithelium cells located?

Nonkeratinized: forms the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, & vagina.


Keratinized: variety forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry membrane.

Long, cylindrical, multinucleate cells with obvious striations

Skeletal muscle (worm w/ dots on it)

Branching, striated, generally uninucleate cells that interdigitate at specialized junctions.

Cardiac muscle (looks like a road block)

Where are skeletal muscle cells located?

In skeletal muscles attached to bones or occasionally to skin

Where are cardiac muscle cells located?

The walls of the heart.

Cutaneous membrane lines what?

The skin, covers the bodies surface (keratinized stratified squamous epithelium)

Mucous membrane lines what?

Find them in digestive & respiratory tracks ( body cavities open to the exterior membranes)

Serous membranes line what?

Lines closed ventral cavities such as thoracic wall and covering lungs, and encloses heart

Where are these terms located for serous membranes:


1. Pleurae=


2. Pericardium=


Pleurae= thoracic & lungs


Pericardium= heart


Which is more towards the surface parietal or visceral?

Parietal= surface


Visceral= deeper

This is what happens when barriers of skin are penetrated and cells must divide and migrate.

Tissue repair

What are 2 ways tissue can repair itself ?

1. Regeneration 2. Fibrosis

This type of tissue repair is when the same kind of tissue replaces destroyed tissue and original function is restored?

Regeneration tissue repair

This type of tissue repair is when connective tissue replaces destroyed tissue and the original function is lost?

Fibrosis tissue repair

What type of tissue regenerates extremely well?

Areolar Connective Tissue

What type of tissue has a moderate regenerating capacity?

Smooth muscle and Dense regular connective tissue (Ligaments & tendons)

What type of tissue has weak regenerating capacity?

Skeletal muscle tissue

What type of tissue has no functional regenerating capacity?

Cardiac muscle

What are the 3 steps in tissue repair?

1. Inflammation 2. restores blood supply (any waste is cleaned up) 3. Regeneration & Fibrosis (scab detaches and scar tissue forms)
