Molecule Made up of atoms, the smallest unit of matter
Molecule Two or more atoms form a molecule
Molecules Combine to form substances like proteins, carbohydrates & fats
Cellular Involving the cells of an organism
Cell a self sufficient component of life
Cell the building blocks of all living things
Organelle “little organ” that performs various functions within each cell
Tissue Groups of cells that form different structures
Epithelial skin
Connective most abundant, fascia
Muscle smooth, skeletal, cardiac
Nervous nerves & brain
Organ Groups of tissue With a special function
Organ System groups of organs with a specific role in the body
Organism a total living form; one individual
Community a group of individual organisms living in one geographic location
Inorganic Substance small simple compounds
Inorganic Substance required for water transport and cellular activities
Organic Substance Large complex compounds containing carbon.
Organic Substance Building blocks of body structures
Organic Substance serve as cellular fuel for energy used for body functions. Organic Substance
Cytoplasm Cytosol (intercellular fluid)
Cytoplasm contains ions, nutrients, waste products,
Cytoplasm fluid surrounding soluble and insoluble (cytoskeletal) proteins.
Matrix the substance between cells/tissues
Matrix made up of ground substance and fibers.
Matrix Provides support for cellular growth and function.
Water most abundant substance in cells
Plasma membrane The thin delicate membrane that surrounds every cell.
Phospholipid bilayer composed of two layers of phospholipids
Phospholipid bilayer hydrophobic tails facing inwards
Phospholipid bilayer hydrophilic heads facing outward.
Phospholipid bilayer attracts water and materials from the outside of the cell
Phospholipid bilayer resists allowing internal fluid from leaving the cell.
Nucleus Houses the cell’s genetic material
Nucleic acids these are DNA and RNA
DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid, the primary structure is the double helix
RNA Ribonucleic acid
Nucleotides DNA and RNA are composed of small acid units
DNA replication the process of replication results in two strands of DNA
Mitochondria major site of cellular energy production
Mitochondria i.e. synthesis of ATP
Mitochondria It contains many internal folds called aristae. “The Power Plant”
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the primary source of energy for cells
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) releases energy through catabolism.
Catabolism breaking down complex substances into simpler substances
Smooth ER lipid synthesis and detoxification of toxins and drugs, storage
Rough ER protein synthesis, transportation of proteins and storage
Golgi Apparatus processing, packaging and storage of materials
Lysosomes (and Peroxisomes) contain digestive enzymes
Lysosomes (and Peroxisomes) break down cell wastes and toxins.
Phagocytosis is performed to “eat” bacteria and waste products
Cytoskeleton provides structure, support and assists with internal movement
Microfilaments slender strands consisting of chains of actin molecules
actin is a protein
Microfilaments that provide structural support and mobility
Microfilaments influences the cell shape
Microtubules Provide structure (rigidity)
Microtubules Involved in movement of organelles ‘railroad tracks’
Microtubules Involved in mitosis
Centrioles growth center for microtubules
Centrioles involved in cell division (mitosis)
Ribosomes sites of protein synthesis, located on ER
Cilia and Flagella Microtubules containing extensions of the plasma membrane
Cilia and Flagella involved in cellular mobility (cell motion)
Cilia and Flagella movement of fluids along cell surfaces
Cilia and Flagella sensitive to environment
Metabolism transformation, production or consumption of energy.
Anabolism simple substances combine to form bigger/complex substances
Diffusion random movement of molecules across the lipid bilayer
Diffusion high concentration to low concentration
Osmosis the diffusion of water across a membrane from high to low
Phagocytosis when a cell actively engulfs a foreign body
Phagocytosis The cell “eats” the foreign body
Phagocytosis usually seen with white blood cells
Active Transport works against the concentration gradient
Active Transport brings in necessary nutrients w/o releasing internal fluid.
Mitosis cellular division and replication process called
Mitosis is the exact duplication of one cell into multiple cells
Mitosis is replication of the same cell to form specific tissues/structures.
Interphase All 23 pairs of chromosomes duplicate inside of the nucleus
Prophase the nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear
Prophase Long thread like bodies of chromatin become evident
Chromatin random pieces of DNA that are present in the nucleus
Prophase chromatin does not condense into chromosomes until this stage
Metaphase alignment of chromosomes along the center line of the cell
Metaphase threads from the spindle apparatus take hold of the chromosomes
Anaphase separation of each chromosome into “sister chromatids.”
Anaphase chromatids are pulled to the opposite side or poles of the cell.
Telophase actual cellular division (separation) of the cell
cytokinesis cleavage process known as
Tissue Groups of closely associated cells that perform a specified function
Epithelial Protects the body by covering/lining of all body cavities/surfaces. Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial Tissue Types simple, stratified, pseudostatified or squamous.
Connective Joins together other tissues through a matrix or framework
Connective Tissue supports and protects the body
Connective tissue is the most common type of tissue in the body.
Connective Tissue types Collagen, bone, elastic fibers, adipose, blood, lymph
Muscle Tissue specialized cells that are able to contract on impulse.
Muscle Tissue Can be voluntary or involuntary
Muscle cells called fibers because of their long slender shape
Muscle Fiber types striated skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.
Nerve cells (neurons) specialized to send and receive neural impulses
Nerve tissue is made up of nerve cells and Glial cells.
Fibroblasts cells that produce the fibers of connective tissue
Osteoblasts cells that produce bone
Chondroblasts cells that produce collagen
Macrophages cells that move through connective tissue and "eat" debris
Cancer the growth of malignant cells into tumors
Cancer There are over 100 different types of cancer causes and types.
Cancer is recorded to kill an average of 5550,000 people in the US yearly.
This mutated DNA is called a(n) Oncogene
The study of cancer is Oncology
Initiation the DNA of the cell mutates & influences the cells to grow rapidly
Promotion the mutated cells begin to proliferate or rapidly grow and flourish.
Progression the mutated cells have not become malignant
Metastasis the spreading of the cancerous cells to remote areas
Carcinogens a chemical or other environmental agent that produces cancer
Carcinogens hydrocarbons, UV light, excessive x-rays, asbestos, benzene
Viruses several types of viruses have been linked to various types of cancer. A virus
Genetics people may have a genetic predisposition towards getting cancer.
Signs and Symptoms Cancer is often painless until it is too late
Signs and Symptoms Look for a change in bowel or bladder habits
Signs and Symptoms A sore that does not heal
Signs and Symptoms Unusual bleeding or drainage
Signs and Symptoms Thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere
Signs and Symptoms Indigestion or swallowing difficulty
Signs and Symptoms A change in a wart or mole
Signs and Symptoms Persistent cough or hoarseness
Chemotherapy targets fast growing cells, cancerous tumors/skin/stomach/blood
Radiation high-energy rays are focused on tumors to kill or slow them down.
Surgery full excision of the tumor.
Hormones Suppression of hormones that cause the growth of tumors.
Hypothermia cryotherapy used to “freeze” the tumor off the skin.
Anti-blood vessel growing drugs limits the size of the tumor.
Massage indicated with the supervision, direction and approval of the pcp
