Term
Three Main Jobs of Cell
Definition
1. Make Energy (ATP)
2.Make Protein (protein does all the work in the cells)
3. Make More Cells (growth and to replace old worn down cells)
Term
Cell Membrane
Definition
cell boundry, controls movement of materials in and out, recoginizes signals from other cells.
Term
structure of cell membrane
Definition
1.proteins-pathway for ions and molecules to move thru layer
2.cholesterol-integrity of cell membrane, fluidity, secure improtant proteins
3. phospholipid bilayer-allows 02,co2 to go thru, but not h2o
Term
cytoplasm
Definition
jelly like material holding organelles in place
Term
vesicles and vacuoles
Definition
transport inside cells, storage
Term
lysosomes
Definition
food digestion, garbage disposal and recycling
Term
mitochondria
Definition
make ATP energy from sugar and o2
Term
nucleus
Definition
protects DNA, controls cell
Term
nucleolus
Definition
produces ribosomes
Term
ribosomes
Definition
builds proteins
Term
endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
helps finish protein, makes a membranes
Term
golgi apparatus
Definition
finishes,packages and ships protein
Term
centrioles
Definition
cell division
Term
cilia
Definition
in lungs, waves to move dirt and mucus
Term
flagella
Definition
tails to help bacteria swim
Term
microvilla
Definition
cell division
Term
Steps of protein synthesis
Definition
DNA to RNA in ribosomes (amino acid strand), to endoplasmic reticulum to golgi apparatus to vesicle
Term
Sex Cell
Definition
-male sperm
- female oocyte
- undergo MEIOSIS (2 cell divisions to separate DNA
Term
Somatic Cell
Definition
- all body cells except sex cells
-undergo MITOSIS (1 cell division) For regeneration
Term
3 check points for cell cycle to stop mistakes
Definition
1. can DNA synthasis begin?
2. has DNA synthasis been completed correctly, committment to mitosis
3. are all chromosomes attatched to spindle
Term
things that can cause cancer cell mutation
Definition
UV radiation, Chemical exposure, Radiation exposure, Heat, Smoking, pollution, age and genetics
Term
sarcoma
Definition
cancer in the supportive or connective tissues
Term
carcinoma
Definition
external or internal body coverings
Term
leukemia/lymphomas
Definition
from blood forming tissues
Term
4 major types of tissue
Definition
1. epithelia
2. connective
3. muscle
4. neural
Term
Epithelial / nonglandular / simple
Definition
1. simple squamous-body cavities, lining of the heart, blood vessels
2. simple cubidal - glands, ducts, kidney, thyroid
3. simple columnar - lining of the stomach and intestines
Term
Epithelial / stratified
Definition
1.stratified cuboidal - lining of the sweat glands
2. stratified columnar - pharynx, epiglottis, anus, mammary
Term
Epithelial / glandular
Definition
1. endocrine - hormones no duct, directly into interstitial fluid
2.exocrine - excretes in ducts
Term
Functions of Connective Tissue
Definition
-structural framework
-transportation of fluid and dissolved materials
-protection of organs
-storing energy reserves
-deffending body from invasion
Term
Fibroblasts
Definition
most abundent cell, secrete protein and cellular cements
Term
Fibrocytes
Definition
maintain structural fibers
Term
Adipocytes
Definition
fat storage
Term
mesenchymal
Definition
stem cells that respond to injury and infection
Term
macrophages
Definition
amoeba like, eat pathogens and damaged cells
Term
Mast
Definition
stimulate inflammation after injury or infection, release histamines and heparin
Term
Lymphocyte
Definition
produce antibodies
Term
microphages
Definition
phagocytic blood cells
Term
melanocytes
Definition
synthasize and store brown pignant, melanin
Term
CTP / Loose
Definition
areolar - binds one tissue to another, part of the mucus membrane

adipose - insulation support, under the skin around eyes
Term
CTP / Dense / regular
Definition
1. regular - fibroblasts, strong flexible support in one direction, tendons and ligaments
Term
CTP / dense / irregular
Definition
fibroblasts, collagen elastic, strong and flexible in many directions, dermis of hand, digestive tract
Term
CTP / dense / elastic
Definition
elastic fibers, elasticity, large arteries, bronchial tubes.
Term
Connective Tissue
Definition
1. CTP
2. vascular
3. osseous
4.cartilage
Term
CTP / cartilage / hyaline
Definition
cobers end of bones. Provides stiffbut somewhat flexible support, reduces friction between bony surfaces
Term
CTP / cartilage / fibrocartilage
Definition
cushion in between bones, resists compression, prevents bone to bone contact, limits movement
Term
CTP / cartilage / elastic
Definition
free standing like the ear
Term
Mucous membrane
Definition
lines passages of digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems
Term
Serous Membrane
Definition
line cavities (pleura = lungs, peritoneum = abdomen, pericardium = heart)
Term
cutaneous membrane
Definition
skin
Term
Synovial Membrane
Definition
surround jount cavities
Term
Superficial Fascia
Definition
-between skin and underlying organs
-areolar tissue and adipose tissue
- also known as subcutaneous layer or hypodermis
Term
Deep Fascia
Definition
-forms a strong, fibrous internal framework
-dense connective tissue
-bound to capsules, tendons and ligements
Term
Subserous Fascia
Definition
-between serous membrane and deep fascia
-areolar tissue
Term
Neuron
Definition
dendrite = brings in signals from hormones, other nerves
axon = long tail that sends signal out
cell body = nucleus
