(126 cards)
qualitative decrease in size of cells.
Atrophy
qualitative increase in size of cells.
Hypertrophy
qualitative increase in number of cells.
Hyperplasia
transformation of one cell to another.
Metaplasia
it is the reversion of cell, lacks in structure.
Anaplasia
abnormality in size, shape, orientation of
cell.
Dysplasia
formation of new cell with atypical cellular
structure with increase mitotic figure.
Neoplasia
Animal starch is
Glycogen
principal fluid medium, constituting 70% of cell
mass.
Water
most abundant substance 10% to 20% of cell
mass, building block is amino acids.
Proteins
makes up 2% of cells, building blocks is fatty
acids and glycerol.
Lipids
is the stored form of lipids in fat cells.
Triglyceride
provides most of the nutritional
requirements of cell
Carbohydrates
Blood sugar, simplest form of
carbohydrates for cell metabolism
Glucose
stored in skeletal muscles and
it is the storage form of carbohydrates.
Glycogen
is the carbohydrate component of cell
membrane
Glycocalyx
Type of cells that divide through Meiosis and is Haploid (n).
Germ cells/Gametes
Type of cells that divide through Mitosis and is Diploid (2n).
Somatic Cells
“Resting phase” of the cell and it is known to be the longest phase.
Interphase
Cell Division Phase: Condensation of nuclear material, nucleus
becomes darker
Prophase
Cell Division Phase: Chromosomes thicken and become visible while
the nuclear membrane and nucleus disappear
Prophase
Cell Division Phase:
Chromosomes line up of along equatorial plate.
Metaphase
Cell Division Phase:
Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers and move
toward opposite poles
Anaphase
Cell Division Phase:
Each chromatid from separated chromosomes
become the chromatids of daughter cells, and the
nucleus and nuclear membrane reappear.
Telophase
