cells, tissues and skin Flashcards
(35 cards)
cytoplasms
contains the cellular organelles, dissolved proteins and nutrients
nucleus
houses DNA which contain instructions for cell in particular protein synthesis
ribosome
site of protein synthesis
rough Endoplasmic reticulum
proteins produced are packaged and exported out of cell
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
synthesis of lipids, cholesterol and steroid based hormones, detoxification and storage of calcium ions
golgi body
modify, concentrate and packages proteins and lipids
mitochondria
cellular respiration releases energy in the form of ATP
lysosomes
digest biological materials including protein and cell debris
cytoskeleton
acts as cell bones, muscle and ligament. contracts for cell movements, resisting in pulling forces on cell and maintain shape and distribution of cellular organelles
peripheral proteins
not embedded throughout the PM. PM support, enzymes o motor functions
integral proteins
embedded in the PM. Acts as enzymes or receptors
channel proteins and carrier proteini
osmosis
movement of water across PM. water can cross due to its size despite being lipid insoluble
lipid soluble substances
oxygen, carbon dioxide, fats, alcohol, steroid hormones
water soluble substances
water, ions and glucose
isotonic
equilibrium, no change in cell volume
hypertonic
shrivelled cell (crenate), water moves out
hypotonic
water moves in, lyse/ burst
potential energy
energy stored ready to be released and used to do work
resting membrane potential
potential energy that exists across the PM resulting from separating oppositely changed ions by the PM
ion concentration
ECF: higher conc of NA+ compared to ICF
ICF: higher conc of K+ compared to ECF
more K+ leakage channels
maintaining RMP
active transport (carrier proteins) K/NA ATPase pump
stop ions from reaching eq
the pump takes out 3 NA ions and bring in 2 K ions
nervous tissue
internal communication nervous tissue transmit electrical signals to regulate and control body functions
muscle tissue
contracts to cause movements 3 types skeletal- voluntary movement cardiac- involuntary smooth- involuntary
epithelial tissue
forms boundaries between different environments, protects, absorbs, secrete and filters. It is avascular( no blood vessels) gets nutrients from underlying connective tissue
