Term
Simple
Definition
single layer of cells
Term
stratified
Definition
two or more layers of cells
Term
Pseudostratified
Definition
tissue appears to be multilayered but is really only one layer of cells.
Term
Flagella
Definition
Threadlike appendages of certain cells, usually numbering no more than one or two per cell; used to propel the cell through a fluid environment. The "tail" of a human sperm cell is actually a flagellum.
Term
Cilia
Definition
[sing. Cilium; L. eyelid, eyelash] short processes extending from the surface of some cells; often capable or producing a rhythmic paddling motion. Some epithelial cells have cilia, which are fingerlike projections that help propel materials past the cell.
Term
Basement Membrane
Definition
the layer of filaments and fibers that attach an epithelium to the underlying connective tissue.
Term
4 Main Types of Tissues
Definition
1. Epithelial
2. Connective
3. Muscle
4. Neural
Term
Epithelial Tissue
Definition
Covers all surfaces of body, including external, inner lining of digestive, resspiratory, circulatory, excretory, reporductive systems, and dorsal and ventral body cavities
Term
Two main categories of epithelial tissue
Definition
1. Simple
2. Stratified
Term
5 types of Epitelial tissue
Definition
1. Squamous
2. Cuboidal
3. Columnar
4. Transitional
5. Goblet
Term
Connective Tissue
Definition
serves to bind or support the organs and is the most widely distributed tissue in the body.
Term
7 Types of Connective tissue
Definition
1. Loose connective tissue
2. Adipose
3. Dense connective tissue
4. Elastic connective tissue
5. Blood
6. Cartillage
7. Bone
Term
Muscle Tissue characterized by
Definition
irritability, excitability, elasticity, and contractility.
Term
Muscle types
Definition
1. Skeletal [look for striations]
2. Smooth [no striations]
3. Cardiac [look for striations plus intercalated discs]
Term
Striations
Definition
transverse bands
Term
Intercalated disc
Definition
specialized cell junctions between heart muscle cells that facilitate teh passing of an impulse from on heart cell to the next.
Term
Nervous system pupose
Definition
to coordinate systems in the body
Term
Neural tissue types
Definition
1. Neuron [nerve cell]
2. Neuroglia [supporting cells]
Term
Cell membrane [aka: plasma membrane]
Definition
forms a thin, protective layer around the cell.
- contains about 42% lipids, 55% rpoteins, and 3% carbohydrates.
Term
Impermeable
Definition
nothing can cross
Term
freely permeable
Definition
anything can cross
Term
semipermeable
Definition
some things can cross but some things can't
Term
The cell membrane acts as a ____ membrane
Definition
semipermeable
Term
Factors that determine how a substance will get in and out of a cell:
Definition
1. molecular size
2. electrical charge
3. lipid solubility
4. carrier molecule availability
5. energy
Term
What acts as channels and are found throughout the cell membrane?
Definition
proteins
Term
Integral Proteins
Definition
found embedded in phospholipid bilayer of cell membrane
Term
Peripheral Proteins
Definition
found attached to surface of cell membrane
Term
Mechanisms of transport
Definition
active and passive
Term
Active transport
Definition
requires energy from the cell
- ex. active transport, endocytosis [including pinocytosis and phagocytosis], and exocytosis
Term
Passive transport
Definition
does not require energy expenditure from cell.
- ex. simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and filtration.
Term
Filtration
Definition
-passive transport
-small molecules forced trhough semipermeable membrane...
Term
Diffusion
Definition
movement of particles from area of high concentration to are of low concentration, until equilibrium of particles is achieved
Term
Concentration gradient
Definition
difference in concentration area
Term
Simple diffusion
Definition
process in which molecules spread out randomly from heavily concentrated areas to areas of lesser concentration
Term
Facilitated diffusion
Definition
process by which molecules pass through cell membrane with assistance from otehr cellular structures such as large proteins
Term
carrier proteins
Definition
proteins temporarily bind with the molecules to assist them in passing through the cell membrane.
Term
What molecules use carrier proteins to enter into a cell?
Definition
amino acids and glucose
Term
Osmosis
Definition
is the diffusion of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration [lower solute concentration] to a region of lower water concentration [higher solute concentration] until equilibrium.
Term
Osmotic pressure
Definition
pressure developed in a solution due to osmosis
Term
Solute
Definition
particles in a solvent
Term
solvent
Definition
liquid the solute is in
Term
solution
Definition
the mixture of solute and solvent
Term
Iso
Definition
equal
Term
Tonic-
Definition
refers to teh solution [Gr. tension]
