Question
Answer
anchoring protein   a type of protein that attachs cell membranes to one another or to internal or external structures  
🗑
carrier-mediated   to carry throughout  
🗑
integral proteins   structural components of membrane; span the entire width of the membrane one or more times and are therefore known as transmembrane proteins  
🗑
peripheral proteins   attach to the inner or outer surfaces of the membrane and are easily removed  
🗑
channels   transport proteins that forms a passageway that permits the movement of water and small solutes across the cell membrane; have two major types: leak(permit continuous passive movement) and gated(close or open to regulate ion movement)  
🗑
phospholipid   an important membrane lipid whose structure includes both hydrophilic and hydophobic regions  
🗑
diffusion   passive molecular movement from an area of relatively high concentration to an area of relatively low concentration  
🗑
osmosis   the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from one solution toward another solution that contains a higher solute concentration  
🗑
osmolarity   the total concentration of dissolved materials in a solution, regardless of their specific identities, expressed in moles  
🗑
hypertonic   in comparing two solutions, the solution with the higher molarity  
🗑
endocytosis   the movement of relatively large volumes of extracellular material into the cytoplasm vua the formation of membraneous vesicle at the cell surface; includes pinocytosis and phagocytosis  
🗑
exocytosis   the ejection of cytoplasmic materials by the fusion of membraneous vesicle with the cell membrane  
🗑
hydrophilic   freely associating with water; readily entering into solution (HEADS)  
🗑
hydrophobic   incapable of freely associating with water molecules; insoluble (TAILS)  
🗑
cytosol   the fluid in the portion of the cytoplasm  
🗑
concentration   amount (in grams) or number of atoms, ions, or molecules (in moles) per unit volume  
🗑
glycocalyx   a carbohydrate-enriched coating that covers the outside of many eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells, particularly bacteria  
🗑
potential difference   the seperation of opposite charges; requires a barrier that prevents ion migration  
🗑
vesicular transport   transmembrane or membrane associated protein which regulates or facilitates the movement by vesicles of the contents of the cell.  
🗑
integumentary system   functions of this system include protection from environment; structures of this body system include cutaneous membrane (skin), hair, nails, and exocrine glands  
🗑
muscular system   functions of this system include locomotion and heat production; structures of this system include skeletal muscles, tendons, and aponeuroses  
🗑
endocrine system   structures of this system include the pineal gland, pitutitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, thymus, adrenal glands, kidneys, pancreas, and gonads; functions include directing long-term changes  
🗑
cardiovascular system   structures of this system include heart, blood vessels, and blood; functions of this system include the internal transport of materials  
🗑
respiratory system   structures of this system include nasal cavities, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, and alveoli;functions include delivery for air and gas exchange  
🗑
urinary system   structures of this system include kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra; functions include elimination of excess water  
🗑
reproductive system   structures of this system include (for males) testes, accessory organs, and external genitalia (for females) ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, external gentalia, and mammary glands; functions include production of sex cells  
🗑
skeletal system   structures of this system include bones (206), cartilages, ligaments, and bone marrow; functions include support and protection  
🗑
nervous system   structures of this system include central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS); functions of this system include maintaining homeostasis, responding rapidly, directing very specific responses to stimuli  
🗑
lymphatic system   structures of this system include lymphatic muscles, lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus; functions of this system include defense against infection and disease  
🗑
digestive system   structures if this system include salivary glands, pharnyx , esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas; functions of this system include processing of food  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
