What are cells?
fundamental unit of all living things
Major parts of a cell?
- chromosome
- nucleus
- cell membrane
- cytoplasm
- mitochondria
- ER
Cell Membrane
protects + regulates what passes
Nucleus
where cell division occurs
Chromosomes
- rod-like structures in Nucleus (23 Pairs)
- 46 total
- contain genes → DNA →activity of cell based on sequence
Cytoplasm
- all material outside nucleus
- supplies chemical needs of All
Endoplasmic Reticulum
manufacture proteins for the cell
Ribosomes
- build long chains of proteins
- anabolism → build large proteins
Mitochondria
Energy, nutrients, O2
Anabolism
build large protein from small protein
Catabolism
complex proteins down to simple protein with Energy release
Karyotype
numerical order of chromosomes
metabolism
anabolism + catabolism
Muscle Cell
- long slender, fibers → contact+ relax
- voluntary (concious) → arms, legs
- involuntary (unconcious) → heart, lungs
Nerve cells
send nerve impulses
Fat Cells
- large empty space for fat storage
- connective tissue → bone, blood, adipose
Epithelial Cells
- all over body
- Exocrine + endocrine glands → responsible for secretions
- skin/lining
- square + flat
Tissues
group of similar cells working together
Organs
different types of tissue combine to form an organ
Systems
groups of organs working together to perform complex functions
Adipose Tissue
fat cells
Cartilage
connective tissue
Epithelial Cells
Skin Cells, outside world
