Cell
|
the basic structural and fuctional unit of all living organisms
|
|
Selectively permeable
|
allows some substances to pass while excluding some
|
|
Plasma membrane
|
Encloses the cell contents. Mediates exchanges with extracellular environment and plays a role in cellular communication. Is made out of the phospholipid molecules that have a nonpolar and polar ends that make it possible for it to form.
|
|
Nucleus
|
The largest organelle. Surrounded by the nuclear envelope; contains nucleoli, chromatin and nucleoplasm
|
|
Nuclear envelope
|
Separates the nucleoplasm fron the cytoplasm and regulates passage of substances to and from the nucleus
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
Cellular region between the nuclear and plasma membrane. Consists of cytosol containing dissolved solutes, organelles and inclusions
|
|
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
|
Sugar groups are attached to proteins within the cisternae. Proteins are bound in vesicles fro transport to Golgi apparatus and other sites. External face synthesizes phospholipids
|
|
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
|
Site of lipid and steroid synthesis, Lipid metabolism, and drug detoxification
|
|
Ribosome
|
The sites for protein synthesis
|
|
Mitochondrion
|
Site of ATP synthesis; powerhouse of the cell
|
|
Golgi apparatus
|
Packages, Modifies and segregates proteins for secretion from the cell, inclusion in lysosomes and incorporation to the plasma membrane
|
|
Vesicles (secretory granules)
|
Small transporting containers
|
|
Lysosome
|
Sites of intracellular digestion
|
|
Centrioles
|
Organize a microtubule network during mitosis to form the spindle and asters. Form the basis of cilia and flagella.
|
|
Centrosome matrix
|
A small region of cytoplasm adjacent to the nucleus that contains the centrioles and serves to organize microtubules.
|
|
Microtubules
|
Support the cell and give it shape. Involved in intracellular and cellular movements. Forms centrioles, celia and flagell, if present.
|
|
Microfilaments
|
The stabel cytoskeletal elements;resists mechanical forcies acting on the cell.
|
|
Cilia
|
Coordinated movement creates a unidirectional current that propels substances accross the cel surfaces.
|
|
Falgella
|
Propel the cell.
|
|
Microvilli
|
Increase surface area for absorbtion.
|
|
3 basic differences between animal and plant cells?
|
Chloroplasts
Central vacuole Cell wall |
|
Prokaryote and eukarote
|
Prokaryotes lack the nucleus. eukaryotes contain nucleus containing the genetic material.
|
|
G1 phase
|
The centrioles begin replicationg
|
|
S Phase
|
DNA is replicated
|
|
G2 phase
|
Final preparations for mitosis are completed and centrioles finish replicating.
|
|
Visceral Plurae
|
Right Lung
|
|
Parietal Plurae
|
Left Lung
|
|
Parietal pericardium
|
Parietal pericardium: The outer layer of the pericardium which is a conical sac of fibrous tissue that surrounds the heart and the roots of the great blood vessels.
|
|
Epicardium (visceral pericardium)
|
The epicardium is the outer layer of the wall of the heart. It consists of connective tissue covered by epithelium.
|
|
Mesentery
|
Double-layered extensions of the peritoneum that support most organs in the abdominal cavity
|
|
Parietal peritoneum
|
The oart of the peritoneum that lines the abdominal wall
|
|
Visceral peritoneum
|
the part of the peritoneum that lines the abdominal viscera
|
|
Serous membrane
|
The moist membrane found in closed ventral body cavities
|
|
Serous fluid
|
Clear, watery fluid ecreted by cells of serous membrane. It allows the organs to slide without friction across the cavity walls and one another as they carry out their routine functions
|
|
Passive transport
|
Membrane transport process that does not require cellular energy
|
|
Active transport
|
Cellular energy is needed. Ex. endocytosis
|
|
Osmosis
|
Diffusion of a solvent thru a membrane from a dilute solution into a more concentrated one.
|
|
Diffusion
|
The spreading of particles in a gas or solution with a movement toward a uniform distribution of particles, driven by kinetic energy.
|
|
Cells in isotonic solutions
|
Cells retain their normal size and shape
|
|
Cells in hypertonic solutions
|
Cells lose water by osmosis adn shrink
|
|
Cells in hypotonic solutions
|
Cells take on water by osmosis until they come bloated and burst
|
