cells
smallest living units in the body
cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm
three main structural components of any cell
function o plasma memrane
-protective barrier
-cellular communication via receptor proteins
-regulates movements on substances in and out
fluid mosaic model
describes the dynamic nature of the cell membrane and its fluidity;
-bilayer of lipid molecules with embedded proteins
-tails line up end to end
-most abundant lipids are phospholipids (polar head, nonpolar tail), but theres cholesterol, glycolipisds, and diff kinds of proteins which help with memrane transport

Phospholipids
what makes up most of the plasma memrane
Cholesterol
structural integrity of the plasma memrane thats in the lipid tails of bilayer

assist in cell recognition and adhesion to other cells and is found in the outermost layer of bilayer
desmosomes, tight junctions, gap junctions
three kinds of membrane junctions
Tissue
group of cells that perform similar function + extracellular matrix
extracellular matrix
component of a tissue that gives it its consistency

-includes: proteins, minerals, salts, lipids
Epithelium
primary tissue that COVERS body surfaces and LINES body cavities
-its cells are arranged in sheets,
-also forms glands
connective tissue
primary tissue
-form and function vary widely but all of these contain a large amount of extracellular matrix
-function: *support, holding tissue fluid, protection from disease*
muscle tissue
consists of myocytes
-*brings about most kind of body movements*
nervous tissue
forms the main component of the nervous organs (brain, spinal cord, and nerves)
---*regulates and controls body functions*
epithelial tissue is named based off
the number of layers of cells + the shape of cells on the apical surface
connective tissue
what is the most abundant and diverse type of tissue
collagen, elastic, reticular
three types of fiber in CT
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
three types of muscle
neurons and neuroglia
types of cells present in nervous tissue
tissues
skin is an organ because it consists of many _____ working together for a common function
epidermis (epithelial) and dermis (connective tissue)
two layers of the skin and what they consist of
Hypodermis, has adipose tissue
what isn't a part of the skin and why?
Dermis
the majority of the vascularization in the integumentary tissue is in the
keratinized epidermal cells
what type of cells are hair and nails made of
sebaceous glands
glands that produce an oily substance called sebum
chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
list the hierarchy of structural organization in the body
Ipsilateral
same side
Contralateral
opposite side
Ventral
front side of the body, ventral
dorsal
back side of body, fin
Olecranal
back of elbow

Antebrachial
pertaining to the forearm

Antecubital
front of elbow

manus
hand
Pollex
thumb
Crural
shin

Sural
calf

hallux
big toe
spinal cord + cranial cavity
what is in the dorsal body cavity?
ventral body cavity
thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
median (midsagittal) plane
Cuts the body into left and right planes
motion: forward and backward

frontal (coronal) plane
vertical plane dividing the body or structure into anterior and posterior portions
motion: towards or away from the midline, lateral side to side movements

transverse plane
divides the body into superior and inferior parts
motion: rotation

Cilia
fingerlike projections that help *move* things
Microvili
projections that increase the cell's surface area
-microfilaments make up their core
Flagella
motile projection that has a tail, uses their whip like motions to move an entire cell
plasma membrane
A selectively-permeable phospholipid bilayer forming the boundary of the cells
Ribosomes
produce proteins, protein synthesis
-near rough ER and mitochondria
Rough ER
produces proteins, has ribosomes attached
Smooth ER
metabolizes lipids and stores calcium (in some cells)
-no ribosomes attached
Golgi apparatus
packages proteins for use either within or outside the cell
-uses transport vesicles to send out the modified products received from ER
Lysosomes
sacs of hydrolytic enzymes that break down large molecules
-acts like intracellular digestion
Mitochondria
makes energy in form of ATP
-double memrane
-cristae ----name of inner memranes
Peroxisomes
removes toxic wastes by using special enzymes oxidase and catalase
--oxidase : breaks down free radicals into hydrogen peroxide (BAD)
--catalase: neutralizes hydrogen peroxide and turns it into water
Cytoskeleton
supports the cell shape and produces movements
Centrioles
Located near the nucleus and help to organize cell division
Centrosome
microtubule organizing center consisting of two centrioles
- where cilia and flagella are formed
Nucleus
directis the operation of the cell
-double layer
--outside layer: pushes outward that helps develop the ER
--inside layer: houses chromatin and dense packed protein RNA; ribosomes are born here
covering
one word function for epithelial tissue
support
one word function for connective tissue
Movement
one word function for muscle tissue
control (and communication)
nervous tissue one word function
special features of epithelium
-high cellularity -- lots of cells, almost no extracellular matrix
-polarity -- one side is diff from the other
-support by connective tissue
-avascular
-nervous innervation- but no blood vessels
-high regenerative capacity
-basement membrane: helps epithelium *stick* and has some CT
tight junctions
tightly seals epithelium together and prevents leakage
Desmosomes
anchoring junctions
-holds cells together that are under mechanical stress
gap junctions
communicating junctions allow ions and small molecules to pass from one cell to the next for intercellular communication
Squamous
flat cells
Cuboidal
generally the same size all the way around
Columnar
elongated cell, nucleus gravitates towards the basal side

one layer of cells
stratified epithelium
means that theres two or more layers
simple squamous epithelium
single layer of flattened cells with disc shaped central nuclei
