Cell (plasma) membrane

Provides form to cell and controls passage of materials into and out of cell

Cytoplasm

Suspends organelles; a matrix in which chemical reactions occur

Endoplasmic reticulum

Facilitates cell transport of proteins; smooth ER produces lipids, rough ER produces proteins

Ribosomes

Synthesize proteins; located on rough endoplasmic reticulum

Mitochondria

Production of ATP in aerobic respiration

Golgi complex

Modifies, sorts, packages, and transports proteins from rough ER; forms secretory membrane and transport vesicles

Lysosomes

Digest foreign molecules and worn cells

Centrosome

Organizes spindle fibers and assists mitosis

Vessicles

Store and excrete substances within the cytoplasm

Cytoskeleton

Support cytoplasm and transport materials

Cilia and flagella

Movement of particles along cell surface or move cell

Nucleus

Directs cell activity; forms ribosomes

Interstitial fluid

Bathes tissue, is located between tissues

Extra Cellular Fluid

Any fluid outside the cell (Ex. Blood plasma, spinal fluid, ISF, CSF)

Cytosol

Intracellular fluid

Phospholipids Bilayer

Creates cell membrane, gives form to cell and controls entry and exiting

Cell Wall

Provides plant cells with structural support and protection

Cholesterol

Makes hormones and vitamin D; helps to digest food

Glycoproteins

Proteins with sugar attached. Help with immune and reproductive system, as well as communication with other cells

Glycolipids

Lipids with attached carbohydrate, help with cell recognition and provide energy

Channel Protein

Protein that allows transportation across cell membrane

Tight junction

Two adjacent animal cell membranes with no space between them

Gap junction

Intercellular connections between animal cell types that connect the cytoplasm, allowing molecules, ions and electrical impulses to pass through a regulated gate

Desmosomes

Attachment of two adjacent cells
