Lysosome

A vesicle filled with powerful acidic digestive enzymes that roams the cell, destroying invading particles.

Vesicle

A small capsule within a cell that transports materials, similar to a taxi or Uber.

Mitochondria

Known as the powerhouse of the cell, it produces ATP, the only usable form of energy in the body.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

The main energy currency of the cell, produced by mitochondria.

Centrioles

Cylindrical structures important for cell division and the process of mitosis.

Mitosis

The process of cell division in which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

Red Blood Cells

Cells that transport oxygen; they do not replicate because they lack a nucleus.

Hemoglobin

A protein within red blood cells that carries oxygen, enabling efficient transport.

Epithelial Tissue

A type of tissue that covers body surfaces, lines cavities, and forms glands.

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

Striated muscles attached to the skeleton that facilitate voluntary movement.

Adipose Tissue

Loose connective tissue that stores fat, providing insulation and cushioning for organs.

Dense Connective Tissue

A type of connective tissue characterized by tightly packed fibers, providing strength and support.

Transitional Epithelium

A flexible epithelial tissue that can expand and contract, found in the bladder.

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

A single layer of columnar cells that appears stratified due to staggered nuclei; found in the trachea.

Simple Squamous Epithelium

A single layer of flat cells found lining blood vessels, allowing for easy diffusion.

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Multiple layers of flat cells providing protection; found in areas subject to abrasion like the skin.
