An organic catalyst produced by living cells but capable of acting outside cells or even in the vitro

The process of removing particles from a solution by allowing the liquid portion to pass through a membrane or other partial barrier

A monocyte that has become a resident in tissue

The study of the microscopic structure of tissue

The state of dynamic equilibrium of the internal environment of the body that is maintained by the ever-changing process of feedback and regulation in response to external or internal changes

The pressure of liquids in equilibrium and to the pressure exerted on liquids

All energy and material transformations that occur within living cells; the sum of all physical and chemical changes that take place within an organism

The passage of solvent through a semipermeable membrane that separates solutions of different concentrations

The study of the functions of the living organisms and its components and of the chemical and physical processes involved

A watery colloid that forms the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm of cells; it is enclosed in a cell membrane that regulates exchanges of materials with the environment

A mass of protoplasm containing a nucleus or nuclear material; the structural unit of all animals and plants

Pertaining to or bringing about the elimination of waste products from the body

A body structure made of several tissues that all contribute to specific functions

Any living thing, plant or animal

The study of how disease occurs and the responses of living organisms to disease processes.

The outer protective covering of the cell

A semifluid inside the cell but outside the nucleus

Cell structures that help a cell to function; located in the cytoplasm

A mass in the cytoplasm separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear membrane; controls many cell activities.

located in the nucleus and made of deoxyribonucleic acid and protein

The structures that carry inherited characteristics

The total mass of genetic instruction humans inherit from their parents

located in the cytoplasm and near the nucleus; contains two centrioles

rod-shaped organelles located throughout the cytoplasm

A stack of membrane layers located in the cytoplasm; produces, stores, and packages secretions for discharge from the cell.

A fine network of tubular structures located in the cytoplasm. This network allows for the transport of materials into and out of the nucleus, and also aids in the synthesis and storage of proteins.

Pouch-like structures found throughout the cytoplasm that have a vacuolar membrane with the same structure as the cell membrane.

Oval or round structures found throughout the cytoplasm that contain digestive enzymes that digest and destroy old cells, bacteria, and foreign materials.

Pocket-like folds in the cell membrane that allow large molecules such as proteins and fats to enter the cell.

A form of asexual reproduction where cells reproduce by dividing into two identical cells

Process by which gametes use two separate cell divisions to produce four new cells

Have the ability to transform themselves into any of the body's specialized cells and perform many different functions

Formed when cells of the same type join together for a common purpose.

Occurs if there is an insufficient amount of tissue fluid.

Occurs if there is an excess amount of tissue fluid.

Covers the surface of the body and is the main tissue in the skin.

The supporting fabric of organs and other body parts.

Made up of neurons; controls and coordinates body activities by transmitting messages throughout the body.

Produces power and movement by contraction of muscle fibers.

Organs and other body parts joined together to perform a particular function.

Imaginary lines drawn through the body at various parts to separate the body into sections.

A horizontal line that divides the body into a top half and a bottom half.

Body parts above other body parts

Body parts below other body parts.

Body parts located near the head

Frontal Plane (coronal)

Divides the body into a front section and a back section.

Body parts on the front of the body.

Body parts close to the point of reference

Body parts distant from the point of reference.
