CH 3 A&P Flashcards
Tissues
Group of cells with a similar function
3 main regions of the cell
Nucleus, cytoplasm, plasma membrane
plasma membrane
phospholipid layer, contains cholesterol
Microvilli
increases surface area for absorption
Ribsomes
proteins synthesis found in two loctions,
lysosoomes
Contain Enzymes that digest worn out materials within the cell
3 types of cytoskeleton
microfilaments, microtubules, intermediate filaments,
Mitochondria
powerhouse of the cell
Active transport
requires energy, producer of ATP
what is inside the middle of cell
collectively nucleoplasm and cytosol within the cell contains small amounts of gases nutrients and salts dissolved in water
Diffusion
Molecules move away from an area of a higher concentration to one of lower
Simple diffusion
lipid soluble solutes move across the plasma membrane
Filtration
uses a pressure gradient and is also used by the kidneys
What are 2 electrolytes are in active transport
sodium, potassium
Phagocytosis
cell eating
Interphase
longer phase of a life cycle
trna
transfers appropiate amino acids to the ribosome for building the protein
Squamous epithelial tissue
has 1 row of flattented cells
Describe cardiac muscle
is involuntary and has intercalated discs
Solute
Present in smaller quanity
Gene
DNA segment that carries blueprint building of (protein)
Desmosones
prevents cell from being pulled apart “deadbolts’
Golgi apparatus
shipping center of the cell or pathways
Peroxixomes
Membranous sac that break down free radicals and replicate by pinching off
