Term
cytology
Definition
is the scientific study of cellular structure and function
Term
cellular function = metabolism
Definition
Term
cell theory
Definition
every living organism is made of cells, arise only through the division of pre existing cells, all have the same basic chemical components
Term
squamous cells
Definition
thin, flat, scaley shape that like esophagus and form surface layer of skin
Term
cuboidal cells
Definition
squarish, about equal in height and width liver cells
Term
columnar cells
Definition
taller than wider
Term
polygonal cells
Definition
irregular angular shapes with four or more sides
Term
stellate cells
Definition
multiple pointed processes give cells a somewhat starlike shape
Term
spheroid to ovoid
Definition
round to oval; egg cells and white blood cells
Term
discoid cells
Definition
disc-shaped as in red blood cells
Term
fusiform cells
Definition
spindle shaped, elongated with a think middle and tapered ends
Term
Fibrous
Definition
long slender and thread like.....looks like a worm
Term
plasma membrane
Definition
forms the surface boundary of the cell
Term
cytoplasm
Definition
material between plasma membrane and nucleus
Term
nucleoplasm
Definition
material within the nucleus
Term
Microvilli
Definition
best developed on cells that specialize in absorption
Term
cilia
Definition
hair like processes that extend from cells and some sensory.
Term
flagella
Definition
longer and fewer..... only thing with this is sperm
Term
intercellular junction
Definition
at the cells surface are certain arrangements of proteins
Term
tight junctions
Definition
zipper like, so it joins tight to neighboring cells
Term
desmosome
Definition
a patch that holds cells together, more like a snap than a zipper
Term
gap junction
Definition
ringlike and surrounds a water-filled channel
Term
cytoskeleton
Definition
a supporive framework of protein filiments and tubules
Term
cytosol
Definition
the clear gel of the cytoplasm; also called intracellular fluid
Term
extracellular fluid
Definition
all body fluds not contained in the cells are collectively called this; also called tissue (interstitial) fluid;
Term
organelles
Definition
metabolically active structures within a cell; they are to the cell what an organ is to the body
Term
nucleus
Definition
round, largest organell, contains cells chromosomes
Term
Endoplasmic reticulum
Definition
a system f interconnected flattened membrane
Term
Rough ER
Definition
covered in ribosomes
Term
smooth er
Definition
no ribosomes
Term
ribosomes
Definition
small granules of protein and ribonucleic acid, synthesize proteins
Term
Golgi complex
Definition
stack of flattened membranous sacs that synthesize carbs
Term
lysosomes
Definition
package of enzymes contained in a single unit membrane; they are the mob of the body and kill things that are scheduled to be killed
Term
mitochondria
Definition
are organelles specialized for ATP synthesis, saclike, and the powerhouse of the cell
Term
centrioles
Definition
a bundle of microtubules, they are near the nucleus
Term
centrosome
Definition
most cells have a clear patch of cytoplasm and contain a pair of mutually perpendicular centrioles
Term
cell cycle
Definition
G1, S, G2, and M
Term
g1 phase
Definition
the cell synthesized proteins and grows and carries out its preordained tasks for the body
Term
synthesis phase
Definition
carries out dna replication, has 2 sets of dna after finished, 46 when started 92 when ended
Term
gap 2 phase
Definition
finishes replicating its centrioles and synthesized enzymes that control cell division
Term
mitotic phase
Definition
period in which a cell replicates its nucleus, and divides it
Term
mitosis
Definition
all the other functions of cell divisions, 4 phases are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
Term
prophase,
Definition
cromatin condense centrioles migrate to opposite pole s of cell
Term
metaphase
Definition
chromosomes lie along midline of cell
Term
anaphase
Definition
centromeres divide in two spindle fibers pull sister chromatids to oppisite poles of a cell
Term
Telophase
Definition
chromosomes gather at each pole of cell..Chromatin decondenses.. New nuclear envelope appears at each pole...New nucleoli appear in each nucleus...mitotic spindle vanishes
Term
cytokinesis
Definition
Telophase is the end of nuclear division but overlaps with cytokinesis-division of the cytoplasm
Term
Stem Cells
Definition
ES cells are easily obtained from the excess embryos created in fertility clinics when a couple attempts to conceive a child by in vitro fertilization (IVF)
