located of Dense irregular tissue
below the dermis.
specialized for fat storage
adipose
location of adipose tissue
around organs.
Fiber that is branched collagenous fiber that form delicate networks.
Reticular
Fiber that is long, thin and allows for stretch.
Elastic
Fiber that is tough, provides high tensile strength.
Collagenous
Define Plasma Membrane
protects the cell, separates exterior and interior, double layered lipid structure.
Define cytoplasm
All cell contents outside the nucleus, but inside the plasma membrane. Made up of cytosol and organelles
define nucleus
control center, necessary for cellular reproduction. DNA is stored here.
define endoplamsmic reticium.
rough ER and Smooth ER. system of tubes extend throughout the cytoplasm.
Rough ER
ribsomes on surface- transports and housing
Smooth ER
no ribosomes, steroids, lipids are being assembled. Drug detox.
Ribosomes
Found freely or in the Rough ER, RNA and protein containing.

Function- site of protein synthesis
Golgi Complex
Stack of flatten sac found close to the nucleus, helps package protein and other substance for export out of the cell.
mitochondria
power house, kidney shaped, involved in the production of ATP.
Lysosomes
Sacs, digest worn out organelles and foreign substances.
Centrosomes
Area that contain that centrioles, needed for cellular reproduction. Spinal cord and brain do not have centrosomes.
Flagella
extensions of cytoplasm just one on a cell, moves cell
Cilia
multiple moves things along the surface.
Mitosis
-Division of somatic cells
- 23 paired chromosomes
-Two cells identical to the original are produced.
Meiosis
-Division of sex cells
- Reproduction of sex cells creates gametes
-Only 23 chromosomes.
Cytokinesis
mitosis, the dividing of cytoplasm and replication of DNA.
Diffusion
The random mixing of ion and molecules in solution due to their kinetic energy.
example of Diffusion
air fresher
dye in water
Osmosis
the net diffusion of a solvent (water) through a selectively permeable membrane.
Example of Osmosis
blood cells
Hypotonic
a solution with a lower concentration of solutes.
Hypertonic
a solution with a higher concentration of solutions.
Isotonic
When the concentration of water molecules and impermeable solute particles are the same on both sides of a membrane.
Osmotic Pressure-
Pressure required to stop movement of pure water into a solution through a membran permeable only to water
Example of Osmotic Pressure
inside sugar and water
Phagocytosis
solid substance into cells
Pinocytosis
Fluid into cell
Exocytosis
Material out of a cell
Solubility of lipids
insoluble to diffuse through plasma membran are assisted or facilitated by carrier molecules.
Ionic charge
Some are negatively and positively attracted
concentration gradient

Isotonic
Active transport
substance that need to move against the concentration gradient are moved across the plasma membran by ATP driven pumps.
example of active transport
sodium pumps
