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
