Which is an example of cuboidal cell arrangement?
Cuboidal cells are as tall as they are wide and are shaped like cubes or hexagons. They may have microvilli at their apical surface and function in either secretion or absorption.
Which is an example of columnar cell arrangement?
Columnar cells are much taller than they are wide, like columns, and protect underlying tissues. Their apical surfaces may have cilia or microvilli, and they often are specialized for secretion and absorption.
Which is an example of psuedostriated cell arrangement?
Pseudostratified epithelium (pseudo- = false) appears to have multiple layers of cells because the cell nuclei lie at different levels and not all cells reach the apical surface.
Which is an example of simple cell arrangement?
Simple epithelium is a single layer of cells that functions in diffusion, osmosis, filtration, secretion, and absorption.
Which is an example of squamous cell arrangement?
Squamous cells (SKWĀ-mus = flat) are thin, and this allows for the rapid passage of substances through them.
Which is an example of stratified cell arrangement?
Stratified epithelium (stratum = layer) consists of two or more layers of cells that protect underlying tissues in locations where there is considerable wear and tear.
Identify the basement membrane.
Identify the Simple Cuboidal Epithelium.
Identify the nucleus of the simple cuboidal cell.
Identify the connective tissue.
The cytoskeleton of a cell consists of microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments. Which is # 1
Microtubule
#2 is part of the cytoskeleton.
What is #2
Microfilament
#3
intermediate filament
#4
microvilli
Centrosomes are made up of centrioles and the surrounding pericentriolar material. Which numbers on the illustration correspond to the centrioles?
# 6
Centrosomes are made up of centrioles and the surrounding pericentriolar material. Which numbers on the illustration correspond to the pericentriolar material?
#5

Differences in the concentration of chemicals between one side of the membrane and the other is called what?
Concentration gradient
Materials move through cell membranes by _________ _________ or by ________ _________.
passive processes or active processes
In passive processes, a substance moves _________its concentration gradient across the membrane.
down
In ________ ________, cellular energy is used to drive the substance “uphill” against its concentration gradient.
active transport
In _________in ________, tiny vesicles either detach from the plasma membrane while bringing materials into the cell or merge with the plasma membrane to release materials from the cell.
transport in vesicles
___________ is the movement of substances due to their kinetic energy.
Diffusion
In ________ _________, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. At equilibrium the concentration is the same throughout the solution.
net diffusion
In ________ ________, lipid-soluble substances move through the lipid bilayer.
simple diffusion
In ________ _________, substances cross the membrane with the assistance of ion channels and carriers.
facilitated diffusion
__________ is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher to an area of lower water concentration.
Osmosis
In an _________ solution, red blood cells maintain their normal shape
isotonic
In a __________solution, they gain water and undergo hemolysis.
hypotonic
In a __________ solution, they lose water and undergo crenation.
hypertonic
With the expenditure of cellular energy, usually in the form of ATP, solutes can cross the membrane against their concentration gradient by means of _________ ________.
active transport
With the expenditure of cellular energy, usually in the form of ATP, solutes can cross the membrane ____________ their concentration gradient by means of active transport.
