Cells, Tissues, and Differentiation

Muscular Tissue

movement of skeleton, beating of heart, movement of food through digestive system

Connective Tissue

makes up bone, cartilage, and blood; connects organs together

Nervous Tissue

conducts electrical impulses through the brain, spinal cord, and nerves

Epithelial Tissue

makes up skin, lining of internal pathways, and glands

Organelle

a subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell (AI Overview lol)

Nucleus

control center, contains genetic information (the circle in the middle)

Endoplasmic Reticulum

synthesizes proteins and ships them around the cell (the seaweed looking thingy circling the nucleus)

Mitochondria

THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL AYYYYY
Converts food into ATP (energy)

its the oval looking thing with a weird squiggle in it

Golgi Apparatus

transports material around the cell in sacs called vesicles

the 3 weirdly shaped rectangles with shading in the middle

Lysosomes

break down waste

they are the circles in the cell

Centrioles

aid in cell division (the thingies that look like a bunch of straws)

Vacuoles

stores nutrients in water (the weird clear sacs that look like theyre holding water)

Complimentary Definition

the function of a cell is dependent on the structure of that cell

Totipotent Cell

a single cell that forms when a sperm fertilizes an egg

it has the potential to form all the cells in an entire organism

Blastocyst

when the single cell has divided to form a ball of cells

Pluripotent

can differentiate into many types of specialized cells, but cannot form a whole organism

Unipotent

only able to create more of their own type

Epigenetics

the ability to regulate the expression of certain genes
