(26 cards)
The science which deals with the structure and functions of the cell is called?
CYTOLOGY
It also known as the plasma membrane.
Cell membrane
There are projections that increase the absorptive function of the membrane.
Microvilli
They are the infoldings or invagination of the cell membrane, to help the cell take in food substances.
PINOTIC VESICLES.
Living organism of the cell.
CYSTOPLASM
Considered as the circulatory system of the cell concerned with intracellular transport.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Agranular endoplasmic reticulum without ribosomes.
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
This is called granular endoplasmic reticulum.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum.
These are spherical granules found to ER.
RIBOSOMES
Theses are cellular structures in the transport of substance to and form the cells.
Golgi complex
Powerhouse of the cell.
Mitochondria
They referred as the suicide bag
Lysosomes
They are only present in animal cells and primitive plants.
Centrosomes and centrioles
These are a food vacuoles or empty spaces capable of storing food
Vacoules
Center of the cell which controls the metabolic activities of the cell.
Nucleus
It regulates the movement of materials in and out of the nucleus.
Nucleus
Tile-like cells usually for protection.
Squamous cells
Equal cells, usually observed in kidney tubules
Cuboidal Cell
Describe as tube-like cells found lining the digestive tract for absorption.
Columnar Cells
Star-like cell for nerve impulse conduction.
Stellate Cells
Irregularly shaped cell of WBC
Amorphous Cell
Rounded cells of the RBC.
Oval cells.
They are cells of smooth muscles of visceral organs.
Fusiform.
They are the many sided liver cells.
Polygonal
