Cytoplasm

Consists of cytosine and organelles- the contents between the cellular membrane and the nucleus

Cytosol

Liquid part of cytoplasm- water and suspended particles

Organelles

“Little organs” in the cytoplasm

Basic framework of the plasma membrane

Lipid bilayer, containing cholesterol, glycolipids, phospholipids

Integral proteins may act as:

Receptors


Enzymes


Cell identity markers

Integral proteins

Extend into the lipid bilayer

Peripheral proteins

Loosely attached to the surface of the membrane

Glycoproteins

Peripheral proteins attached to carbohydrates

Integral protein: RECEPTOR

Recognize and bind a specific molecule that governs some cellular function

Integral protein : ENZYME

Speed up chemical reactions in the cell

ICF

Intracellular fluid

ECF

Extracellular fluid

ECF in microscopic spaces between the cells of tissues

Interstitial fluid

ECF in microscopic spaces between the cells of tissues

Interstitial fluid

ECF in blood plasma and lymphatic vessels

Lymph

CSF

Cerebrospinal fluid: within and around the brain and spinal cord

Solute

Material dissolved in fluid

Solute

Material dissolved in fluid

Passive process

Moves down its concentration gradient using only kinetic energy

Diffusion

Passive: Moves from higher concentration to lower concentration

Facilitated diffusion

Integral membrane

Osmosis

Passive process in which water moves through a selectively permeable membrane

Isotonic solution

Concentrations of solutes are the same on both sides

Isotonic solution

Any solution in which cells maintain their normal shape and volume

Hypotonic solution

A solution that has lower concentration of solutes (higher concentration of water)

Hypertonic solution

Higher concentration of solutes (lower concentration of water)

Hemolysis

Rupture of red blood cells

Osmotic pressure

Depends on the concentration of its solute particles

In a hypotonic solution

Water molecules enter the cells by osmosis faster than they leave

Crenation

Shrinkage of red blood cells

Sports drinks are

Hypotonic relative to body cells

Omega 3s

Vitally important for efficient nervous system function

Hormones

Govern metabolism, blood sugar, reproduction, and growth

Cardiovascular system health

Reduce intake of oxidized, rancid fats

Spleen (lymphatic system organ)

Filters and cleanses blood of bacteria, viruses, and debris

Kidneys work with respiratory system

to maintain blood acid-base balance

Kidney cells

Convert vitamin D to its active, usable form

Cholesterol

Precursor to all sex hormones

Life processes

Metabolism, responsiveness, movement, growth, differentiation, reproduction

Ventral

(Anterior) towed the front of the body

Inferior

Caudal -below

Dorsal

Posterior - toward the back of the body

Lateral

Away from the midline of the body

Proximal

Close to the origin of the body part

Distal

Farther from the origin

Sagital plane

Vertical

Midsagittal

Divides into equal, vertical sections

Frontal plane

Divides into anterior and posterior parts

Transverse plane

Divides into inferior and superior parts (horizontal plane)

Dorsal body cavity

Posterior of the body. Contains the cranial and spinal cavities

Ventral body cavity

Anterior of the body. Contains thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity

Thoracic cavity

Heart, lungs, thymus, esophagus

Abdominopelvic cavity

Digestive system, reproductive organs, urinary system organs

How many human cells

100 trillion, 200 types

3 primary components of a cell

Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus

The medium in which metabolic reactions occur within a cell

Cytosol

Cytoskeleton is composed of:

Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules

Control center

Received input from receptors and generated output commands as needed

Effector

Any body structure that receives input from the control center and produces a response

Positive feedback

Strengthens a response. Only occurs during childbirth and blood clotting

Cilia

Hairlike projections that propel fluids across the surface of a cell

Ribosome

Sight of protein synthesis

Ribosomes are named for their

High content of ribonucleic acid (RNA)

Endoplasmic reticulum

Network of membranes that extends from nuclear envelope

Two types of endoplasmic reticulum

Rough ER


Smooth ER

Two types of endoplasmic reticulum

Rough ER


Smooth ER

Rough ER

Studded with ribosomes; synthesis of glycoproteins and phospholipids

Smooth ER

Lacks ribosomes; synthesizes fatty acids, steroid hormones, detox enzymes

Golgi complex

Processes and sorts through proteins and lipids synthesized by the rough ER

Lysosomes

Membrane enclosed vesicles that contain up to 60 digestive enzymes

Phagocytosis

Destruction of foreign substances

Autophagy

The breakdown and recycling of cellular components

Peroxisomes

Smaller than lysosomes, contain enzymes which remove hydrogen

Oxidize

Remove hydrogen atoms

Mitochondria

Site of ATP (energy) production in the cell

CoQ10

Plays an integral role in the electron transport train of the mitochondria


Powerful cellular antioxidant

Best way to protect DNA from disease causing damage

Increase intake of dietary antioxidants
