Microscopy
The procedure to use microscope; technical field in using microscope to view samples.
•Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. •All organisms are made up of cells. •Cells come from pre-existing cells.
3 basic cell theory
Cells
The building blocks of life
Cellula
Tiny boxes
Unicellular
One celled
Multicellular
Many celled
Organelles
Cell structures that perform these specific functions. Are like machines in a factory, each with a specific role.
•Cytoplasm •Nucleus •Cell membrane
Fundamental parts of cell
Cytoplasm
Machinery of the cell; Where the main metabolic life activities takes place.
Cytoplasm
Jelly-like substance that holds the cell organelles in place; site of many chemical reactions
Nucleus
Where the genetic material stored
Nucleus
DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis; assembly of ribosomes
Cell membrane
Surrounds the cytoplasm
Cell membrane
Separates cell from outside; controls what enters and leaves the cell; recognizes signals from other cells
Mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell; Conversion of chemical energy of food to chemical energy of ATP
Golgi body
Modification and transport of macromolecules; formation of lysosomes and transport vesicles
White blood cells
Most number of lysosomes
Rough ER
Synthesis of membrane lipids and proteins, secretory proteins, and hydrolytic enzymes; formation of transport vesicles; for production
Smooth ER
Lipid synthesis; detoxification in liver cells; to transport.
Ribosomes
Protein synthesis / Makes protein
Lysosomes
Suicide bag; Digestion of ingested food, bacteria, and a cell's damaged organelles and macromolecules for recycling
Vacuoles
Food and fluid reservoir of the cell; digestion; storage of chemicals; cell enlargement; water balance.
Peroxisomes
Diverse metabolic processes, with breakdown of H²O² by-product
Centrioles
Helpers in cell division.
Cytoskeleton
Structural support; movement; road for transportation; framework of cell
Cell wall
Nonliving permeable wall that surrounds the cell membrane; encloses and supports the cell
Eukaryotic cells
Contain nuclear materials enclosed by a nuclear membrane; True nucleus
Prokaryotic cells
Contains nuclear materials not enclosed by a nuclear membrane; Doesn't have a true nucleus
•Protozoa •Protists
2 types of eukaryotes or prokaryote.
Tissues
group of cells, have the same functions as cell; are specialized, and their structure enables them to perform a specific task
Organs
Tissues group together
Organ system
Group of organs as one
Organisms
Group of organ systems
Muscular tissues
have cells with the most mitochondria
Nervous tissue
type of tissue would make up the majority of the brain and spinal cord
Epithelial tissue
type of tissue that would be found in the epidermis; Structure through which the tissue is found
Epithelial Tissue
also called the epithelium, occur as sheets of tightly packed cells that cover body surfaces and line internal organs and cavities.
Simple Squamous Epithelial Tissue
type of tissue would be found in the blood vessels and respiratory tract; air sacs of the lung, blood vessels, heart
Basal Lamina
