Cells structure/function

blood

blood

Adipose

skin

muscle

RBC structure and function

Small size and biconcave shape provide large surface area for gas exchange

adipose structure and function

large and squishy allow cushioning, multiple mitochondria to generate heat and energy

Nerve

Nerve tissue: structure and function

Long to allow for great distance of transmission, many dendrites to increase ability in taking up information

bone

Bone structure and function

dense, allows for strength, hole allows for transport of nutrients

muscle structure and function

long fibers to allow for contraction

skin structure and function

tightly packed, keeps things in and out

Red blood cell function

transport oxygen and carbon dioxide

adipose function

protects, insulates, stores fat

nerve function

transmission of impulses throughout the body

skin function

Barrier against environment and fluid loss

bone function

support, protection, storage, blood cell formation, structure

muscle function

movement

Robert Hooke

first to observe "small chambers" in cork and call them cells.

Van Leeuwenhoek

first to look at living cells, invented microscope

Schleiden

All plants are made of cells

Schwann

all animals are made of cells

Virchow

All cells come from other cells, looked at diseases

cell theory

idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells

Vacuole

Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, food, waste

Nucleus

Control center of the cell

Chloroplast

Site of photosynthesis - the green ones

cell wall

A rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell - outside layer

cell membrane

A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell. inside layer

Mitochondria

Powerhouse of the cell - the blue

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

transport - the pasta thing with dots

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Detoxification - pasta thing without dots

Cytoplasm

A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended

Ribosomes

Makes proteins

Amoeba

Paramecium

Euglena

Pseudopod

false foot

Flagella

A long, whip-like filament that helps in cell motility.

Cilia

The hairlike projections on the outside of cells that move in a wavelike manner

Eukaryote

A cell that contains a defined nucleus and membrane bound organelles

Prokaryote

A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

Cell theory

idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells
