Whiplike movement of the cilia on the surfaces of cells in the respiratory airways (trachea) and the fallopian tubes.
Ciliary movement
In the trachea, the cilia beats in a ___ motion toward the mouth to filter out substances together with secretions for the individual to either expectorate or swallow it.
forward
Movement of the entire cell in relation to its surroundings
Ameboid Locomotion
Jellylike matrix within the cell that contains intracellular fluid. A highly organized structure and complex lattice network where the organelles are situated in advantage and according to the metabolism of the cell.
Cytoplasm
The passageway of DNA and RNA to
communicate with other organelles of the cell
Nuclear pores
A circular structure that serves as sites of ribosome assembly. It contains clusters of protein, DNA, & RNA.
Nucleoli / nucleolus
The nucleus contains how many pairs of chromosomes?
23 pairs
46 chromosomes in total.
Contain a coding system for particular
chemicals to be produced in the body, such as neurotransmitters and hormones
Chromosomes
Commenced in 2002 to improve gene therapy and prevent the next generation in contracting those diseases because of their susceptibility.
