Anatomy

the science of the structure of the body and the relation of its parts

Physiology

the science of how the body functions

2 types of cells and their meanings

Prokaryotic- "before nucleus"


Eukaryotic- "true nucleus"

Prokaryote

a cell that lacks a true membrane bound nucleus and organelles

all bacteria are...prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

prokaryotic

eukaryote

a cell that has a membrane bound nucleus and contains many different membrane bound organelles

all multicellular organisms are...prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

eukaryotic

three major parts of a eukaryotic cell

nucleus


cytoplasm


cell membrane

what does the cell membrane do

separates the cell from its external environment

three characteristics of cell membranes

1. double phospholipid layer with interspersed proteins, carbohydrate chains, and cholesterol


2. semipermeable


3. surface modifications (cilia- surface movement, flagellum- cell movement, microvilli-increases surface area)



cytoplasms job

encompasses everything within the cell except the nucleus and contains organelles

name 8 different organelles

mitochondria, cytoskeleton, centrioles, peroxisomes, lysosomes, golgi complex/apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum (rough/smooth), ribosome.

three characterisics of ribsomes

float freely or are attached to the ER


composed of protein and ribosomal RNA


site of protein synthesis

4 characteristics of mitochondria

powerhouse of the cell


produces ATP


double membrane with inner one extending into folds called cristae


contains mitochondrial DNA and protein

cristaes job

increase surface area for production of ATP/energy

what three cycles are used to produce ATP

Krebs cycle


citric acid cycle


tricarboxylic acid cycle


(all 3 = cellular respiration)

two types of ER and differences between them

Smooth- no ribosomes, not involved with protein synthesis, is important in synthesizing cholesterol, steroid based hormones, and lipids, detoxification of drugs, glycogen break down, and fat transportation




Rough- hollowed system of flattened membranous channels with attached ribosomes. transportation network for proteins

two characteristics of golgi

1. stacked, saucer shaped membranes that function as receiving, packaging, and distributing substances from ER


2. produces lysosomes

three characteristics of lysosomes

1. contain digestive enzymes that digest intracellular bacteria and breakdown non-functional organelles, and nutrients


2. autolysis (self-digestion) occurs if the lysosome enzymes are released into the cytoplasm


3. large number found in phagocytic cells (WBCs)

4 characteristics of peroxisomes

1. membrane bound and contain strong oxidase and catalase enzymes


2. use oxygen to detoxify toxic substances, especially alcohol and formaldehyde


3. important in converting free radicals into hydrogen peroxide which are converted by water into catalase enzymes


4.large number in liver and kidney cells

2 characteristics of cytoskeleton

1. has microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments, all made of proteins


2. provides framework (internal), structure, support, anchors organelles, and enables movement

3 characteristics of centrioles

1. microtubules arranged to form a hollow tube


2. important in organizing the mitotic spindle


3. form the base of cilia and flagella

5 characteristics of the nucleus

1. control center of the cell


2. has DNA to govern heredity and protein synthesis


3. double semipermeable nuclear membrane/envelope


4. has 1 or more nucleoli to manufacture ribosomal units


5. DNA = form of chromatin in non-dividing cell, chromosomes = form of chromatin in dividing cells

solute

a substance that can be dissolved



solvent

a substance that does the dissolving

solution

when the solute has dissolved and is no longer distinguishable from the solvent (uniform mixture)

intracellular

within a cell

extracellular

outside of a cell

intercellular

between cells, interstitial

4 types of passive movment

diffusion


facilitated diffusion


osmosis


filtration

diffusion and example

movement of molecules from a high to low concentration (ex: oxygen entering/ carbon dioxide leaving a cell)

facilitated diffusion and example

diffusion with the aid of carrier proteins (ex: glucose entering a cell)

osmosis

movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration (high solvent) to a region of high solute concentration (low solvent)

osmotic pressure

the amount of pressure necessary to stop the flow of water across the membrane

filtration and example

substances are forced through a membrane by hydrostatic pressure, small solutes will pass while large molecules will not (ex: kidney function)

three types of active movement

(requires energy)


endocytosis


exocytosis


active transport

phagocytosis and example

"cell eating"


cell membrane extends around solid particles (ex: WBCs and macrophages)

pinocytosis and example

"cell drinking"


cell membrane extends around fluid droplets (ex: absorptive cells of the small intestine)

receptor mediated and example

specialized membrane receptors bind to substances entering the cell (ex: enzymes, insulin, hormones, iron, and cholesterol entering the cell)

exocytosis and example

materials are expelled by the cell- waste products are excreted and useful products are secreted into the extracellular space (ex: hormones, neurotransmitters, and mucus being released from a cell)

active transport and example

movement of molecules from a low to high concentration with the aid of carrier proteins (ex: sodium potassium pump)
