ACTIVE TRANSPORT

MOVEMENT OF A SUBSTANCE INTO OR OUT OF A LIVING CELL REQUIRING THE USE OF CELLULAR ENERGY

CYTOKINESIS

PROCESS BY WHICH A DIVIDING CELL SPLITS IT'S CYTOPLASM AND PLASMA MEMBRANE INTO 2 DISTINCT DAUGHTER CELLS

DIFFUSION

SPREADING--THE NATURAL TENDENCE OF SMALL PARTICLES TO SPREAD OUT EVENLY WITHIN ANY GIVEN SPACE

MEIOSIS

NUCLEAR DIVISION IN WHICH THE NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES IS REDUCED TO HALF THEIR ORIGINAL NUMER THROUGH SEPARATION OF HOMOLGOUS PAIRS; PRODUCES GAMETES

MITOSIS

COMPLEX PROCESS IN WHICH A CELLS DNA IS REPLICATED AND DIVIDED EQUALLY BETWEEN TWO DAUGHTER CELLS

OSMOSIS

MOVEMENT OF FLUID (USUALLY WATER) THROUGH A SEMI-PERMIABLE MEMBRANE FROM AN AREA OF LESSER SOLUTE CONCENTRATION TO AN AREA OF GREATER CONCENTRATION

PASSIVE TRANSPORT

CELLULAR PROCESS IN WHICH SUBSTANCES MOVEV THOUGH A CELLULAR MEMBRANE WITH THEIR OWN ENERGY SUPPLIED DIRECTLY BY THE CELL OR ITS MEMBRANES

PHAGOCYTOSIS

INGESTION AND DIGESTION OF PARTICLES BY A CELL

PINOCYTOSIS

ACTIVE TRANSPORT MECHANISM USED TO TRANSFER FOUIDS OR DISSOLVED SUBSTANCES INTO CELLS

ANAPLASIA

GROWTH OF ABNORMAL (UNDIFFERENTIATED) CELLS - AS IN A TUMOR OR NEOPLASM

ANAMOLY

DEVIATION FROM NORMAL

ATROPHY

WASTING AWAY OF TISSUE;  DECREASE IN SIZE OF A PART

BENIGN

REFERS TO A TUMOR OR NEOPLASM THAT DOES NOT METASASIZE ( SPREAD TO DIFFERENT TISSUES) 

CARCINOGEN

SUBSTANCE THAT PROMOTES THE DEVELOPMENT OF CANCER

CONGENITAL DISORDER

REFERS TO A CONDITION PRESENT AT BIRTH; MAY BE INHERITED OR ACQUIRED IN THE WOMB AT BIRTH

CYTOLOGY

THE STUDY OF CELLS

DYSPLASIA

 ABNORMAL CHANGES IN SIZE, SHAPE, AND ORGANIZATION OF CELLS IN A TISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH NEOPLASMS

GENETIC DISORDER

PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS CAUSE BY MISTAKES OR MUTATIONS IN A CELLS GENETIC CODES

HYPERPLASIA

GROWTH OF AN ABNORMALL LARGE NUMBER OF CELLS AT A LOCAL SITE

HYPERTROPHY

INCREASED SIZE OF AN ORGAN OR PART CAUSED BY AN INCREASE IN THE SIZE OF ITS CELL

MALIGNANT

REFERS TO A TUMOR OR NEOPLASM THAT IS CAPABLE OF METASTASIZING, OR SPREADING TO NEW TISSUE;  CANCER

METAPLASIA

TRANSFORMATION OF ONE TISSUE INTO ANOTHER; ABNORMAL REPLACEMENT OF CELLS OF ONE TYPE BY CELLS OF ANOTHER

METASTASIS

PROCESS CHARACTERISTICS OF CANCER BY WHICH MALIGNANT TUMOR CELLS SEPARATE FROM A PRIMARY TUMOR AND THEN MIGRATE TO INITIATE A SECONDARY TUMOR

NECROSIS

DEATH OF CELLS IN A TISSUE; OFTEN RESULTING FROM ISCHEMIA 

NEOPLASM

TUMOR OR ABNORMAL GROWTH

FIVE FUNCTIONS OF THE VARIOUS PROTIENS FOUND IN THE CELL MEMBRANE

1. TRANSPORT PROTEINS IN AND OUT OF THE CELL

2. ACT AS IDENTIFICATION MARKERS

3. CATALYZE CELLULAR REACTIONS

4.  BIND TO OTHER MEMBRANE PROTEINS TO FORM CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CELLS OR BIND TO SUPPORT FILAMENTS

5.  RECEPTORS THAT REACT TO THE PRESENCE OF HORMONES OR OTHER CHEMICALS AND TRIGGER METABOLIC CHANGES IN THE CELL

MITOCHONDRIA

any of various round or long cellular organelles of most eukaryotes that are found outside the nucleus, produce energy for the cell through cellular respiration, and are rich in fats, proteins, and enzymes ;  organelle in which ATP generation occurs; often termend "powerhouse of the cell"

LYOSOMES

CONTAINS DIGESTIVE ENZYMES

RIBOSOME

ORGANELLE IN THE CYTOPLASM OF CELLS  THAT SYNTHESIZES PROTEINS ( GRANULAR); SOMETIMES CALLED "PROTEIN FACTORY"

GOGLI APPARATUS

ORGANELLE CONSITING OF SMALL SACS STACKED ON ONE ANOTHER NEAR THE NUCEUS THAT MAKES CARBOHYDRATE COMPOUNDS, COMBINES THEM WITH PROTEIN MOLECULES, AND PACKAGES THE PRODUCT FOR DISTRIBUTION FROM THE CELL. (EXOCYTOSIS)

CENTRIOLES

PAIR OF TINY CYLINDERS LOCATED IN THE CENTROSOME

CILIA

HAIRLIKE PROJECTION OF CELLS; PROPELS SUBSTANCES ACROSS THE SURFACE OF THE CELL

CHROMATIN

LONG STRANDS OF DNA WITHIN THE NUCLEUS

FLAGELLA

SINGLE PROJECTION EXTENDING FROM THE CELL SURFACE; ONLY EXAMPLE IN HUMAN IS THE "TAIL" OF THE MALE SPERM 

NUCLEOLUS

DENSE, WELL-DEFINED BUT MEMBRANELESS BODY WITHIN THE NUCLEUS; CRITICAL TO PROTEIN FORMATION BECAUSE IT "PROGRAMS" THE FORMATION OF RIBOSOMES IN THE NUCLEUS

FORMS THE CYTOSKELETON

CELL FIBERS

CENTROSOMES

MEMBRANOUS ORGANELLES

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

LYOSOME

PLASMA MEMBRANE

NUCLEUS

MITOCHONDRION

GOGLI APPARATUS

NONMEMBRANOUS ORGANELLES

RIBOSOME

NUCLEOLUS

CENTRIOLE

PEROXISOMES

ORGANELLES THAT DETOXIFY HARMFUL SUBSTANCES THAT HAVE ENTERED CELLS
