Cards

Term
cytoskeleton
Definition
network of proteins organized into microtubules and microfilaments
Term
nucleolus
Definition
stores RNA (chemical for protein synthesis)
Term
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
network of tubular canals that connect the nuclear membrane with cell membrane
-function is to transport molecules
Term
smooth ER
Definition
enzyme systems involved in lipid and steroid metabolism
Term
Rough ER
Definition
studded w/ ribosomes
Term
Golgi Complex
Definition
stack of membranous saccules
temporarily store modify and package chemical stubstances in the ER
Term
food vacuoles
Definition
white blood cell that phagocytizes a bacterium
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
formed from saccules of Golgi Complex
contain hydrolytic enzymes
act as suicide bages in programmed cell death
Term
Autolysis of body cells in which 2 cases?
Definition
-programmed cell death in emybronic formation of fingers and toes
-atrophy of uterus during menopause
Term
5 roles of proteins in cell membrane
Definition
ion channels, carrier/transporter proteins, enzymes, receptor sites, and recognition siters
Term
ion channel
Definition
certain chemicals flow through tube shaped proteins and out of cells
Term
carrier/transporter proteins
Definition
sugars, amino acids are transported across cell membrane into the cell
Term
Enzymes
Definition
catalyze a biochemical reaction
Term
Receptor sites
Definition
where hormones, neurotransmitters, and drugs attach. Dif cells have different receptor sites
Term
recognition sites
Definition
at outer surface of cell membrane, they all wbcs to recognize your body cells
Term
synonym for recognition sites
Definition
identification marker
Term
immunosuppressant drugs
Definition
reduce immune response
Term
autoimmune disease
Definition
wbs are attacking your own cells. Either cells are lacking recognition sites or wbcs are unable to recognize recognition sites
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
cell's powerhouse, function is cellular respiration: generation of ATP
Term
Centrioles
Definition
involved in cell division, (9+0
Term
flagella
Definition
whip-like tail, can move, 9+2
Term
cilia
Definition
fine, motile hairs, push dust/foreign matter out of airways and fallopian tubes, 9+2
Term
G1 phase of interphase
Definition
period of cell growth, active protein synthesis and formation of cytoplasmic organelles
Term
S of interphase
Definition
DNA synthesis, chromosomes replicate
Term
G2 of interphase
Definition
2nd period of cell growth, formation of mitotic structures
Term
prophase stage of mitosis
Definition
cell prepares to divide, DNA coils up, mitotic apparatus forms
Term
Metaphase
Definition
chromosomes line up in middle of cell
Term
Anaphase
Definition
chromosomes move apart to opposite ends of cell
Term
Karyokinesis
Definition
when chromosomes move apart to opposite ends of cell in anaphase
Term
Telophase
Definition
cytokinesis occurs- cell splits into 2 cells, cell returns back to interphase appearance
Term
cells that undergo division throughout life
Definition
skin cells, blood cells, and cells lining alimentary canal
Term
cells that divide as needed
Definition
kidney and liver cells
Term
neoplasm
Definition
increased number of abnormal cells/ tumor
Term
Benign tumor
Definition
increase in abnormal cells, but they stay at origin
Term
Malignant tumor
Definition
cells increase in number and undergo metastasis (spread from origin)
Term
Meiosis
Definition
production of haploid sex cells (gametes), occurs only in reproductive organs
Term
Gonads
Definition
reproductive organs
Term
Gametes
Definition
sperm and ova
Term
Down's syndrome
Definition
extra #21 autosome in every cell of the body
Term
Chromosome anomaly
Definition
wrong number of chromosomes
