Cytology= | study of cells |
When many metals are in there ionic form and carry an electric charge, what are they called? | electrolytes |
Plasma membrane (cell membrane) are: | fragile, surrounds each cell |
The nucleus is: | control center of the cell, contains genes |
The cell membrane is? | selectively permeable (lets certain things in and lets certain things out |
What is need for for protein manufacture? | nucleolus |
What is necessary for cell repoduction? | DNA |
What is the control center of the cell? | nucleus |
Genes are contained in what? | nucleus |
What does Microvilli do? | increase surface area, thus increasing the ability to absorb |
Cytoplasm: | holds cell contents, contains organelles (little organs) |
Cell membranes contains? | phospholipids and cholesterol |
Ribosomes= | site of protein synthesis |
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)= | is used for storage and transport |
Rough endoplasmic reticulum function? | cells membrane factory |
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum function? | lipid metabolism and detoxification of drugs |
Golgi apparatus= | secretes mucus |
Lysosomes contain what type of enzyme? | digestive |
Proteasomes do what? | destroy protein molecules which have been damaged or were needed for just a short time |
Mitochondria do what? | supply most of the ATP also referred to as power house |
Centrioles do what? | help separate chromosomes in cell division |
Cells contain cytoplasm also known as? | protoplasm (living matter} |
Plasma membrane are: also known cell membrane | fragile, surround each cell |
What are the 4 functions of proteins? | act as cell-to-cell recongnition, may serve as hormone receptors,help to form pores, serve as carriers |
DNA is contained within the? | chromatin |
DNA is absolutely needed for what? | cell reproduction |
The cell membrane is? | selectively permeable (lets certain things in, lets certain thins out |
The what is within the Nucleus and what does it contain? | Nucleolus, Contains DNA, RNA, and proteins |
What is the nucleolus is needed for what? | protein manufacture |
What site are ribosomes assembled? | nucleolus |
What does cytoplasm do? | holds the cell contents, contains organelles "little organs", cell membranes contains phospholipids and cholestrol |
Endoplasmic reticulum are used for? | storage and transport |
Golgi apparatus does what? | secrete mucus |
What does cilia do? | propel other substances along the cells surface |
What do cilia look like? | small whiplike extensions |
Flagellum does what? | propels the cell itself projections are longer than cilia and are called flagella |
Solvent= | substances present in larger amounts in a solution |
Solute= | substance present in small amounts in a solution |
Solution= | solvent + solute |
Diffusion= | movement of molecules from area high concentration (of many collisions) to an area of low concentration (of fewer collisions) |
Osmosis= | diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane |
Filtration= | water and solutes forced through a membrane |
Facilitated filtration= | water and solutes forced through a membrane with the help of protein |
Phagocytosis= | cell eating (active) |
Pinocytosis= | cell drinking (stationary) |
What are the stages of Mitosis? | Prophase, Metaphase,Anaphase, Telophase |
Benign= | noncancerous, cannot spread, may enlarged, treated by surgery or leave it alone |
Malignant= | cancerous, can spread, treated by radiation, chemotherapy, surgery |
Hyperplasia or hypertrophy= | increase in tissue size |
Stem cell= | unspecialized cell that may become many different types of cells |
Meiosis= | cell division of reproductive cells |

What are the 4 functions of Epithelial tissues? | protection, filtration, absorption, secretion |
Simple squamous epithelia= | single layer of cells |
Simple cuboidal epithelia= | common in glands and their ducts |
Simple columnar epithelia= | provides some protection and may also occur in areas of absorption or secretion |
Pseudostratified epithelia= or Ciliated | lines much of the respiratory tract |
