Chapter 2 Body Structure Flashcards
Metabolism
Sum of body’s physical and chemical activities
plasma membrane
outer layer of cell
composed of lipids and proteins
(exchange of goods, growth reproduction, cell interaction)
microvilli
extensions of cell membrane
absorbs material into cell
nucleus
large membrane bound organelle
contains chromosomes
nucleolus
thing in nucleus (core)
RIBOSOME PRODUCTION
cytoplasm
fills cell; consists of fluid and organelles
cytosol
fluid part of cytoplasm
endoplasmic reticulum
membranes within cytoplasm; rough ER has ribosomes and makes proteins, smooth ER for lipids
ribososmes
small bodies attached to ER made of RNA and protein (MAKE PROTEINS)
golgi apparatus
layers of membranes
modifies proteins, sorts and prepares for transport
mitochondria
large, folded membranes, makes ATP
lysosomes
digestive enzymes, breaks stuff down in cells
peroxisomes
enzymes, breaks down harmful stuff
vesicles
membrane bound sacs, transport stuff in bulk in/out of cell ( think starwars cargo ship)
centrioles
rod shaped near nucleus, separates chromosomes during division
surface projections
structures extend from cell, move cell
cilia
cell hair, move fluid around cell
flagellum
whip tail, moves cell
meiosis
prepares for fertilization, halves genes
epithelial tissue
covers and protects organs and body structures
simple epithelium
absorb substances from one system to another (resp, dig)
stratified epithelium
protects deeper tissues (ex: vagina, mouth)
connective tissue
supports and binds structures
fibers and nonliving materials
- blood
- adipose
- cartilage
- bone
muscle tissue
- skeletal moves skeleton
- cardiac moves heart
- smooth forms walls in organs and is involuntary
