A&P module 3 Cells and Tissues Module Review

Mesoderm

________- gives rise to connective and muscle tissues.

Microvilli

________- Folds the cell membrane to increase the surface area of the cell.

Endoderm

________- produce mucous membrane of respiratory tract, thyroid gland, secretory parts of the pancreas.

Osmolarity

________- The measure of solute concentration per unit volume in a solvent.

Phagocytosis

________- Engulfs a solid substance and brings it into the cell.

Adipose

________- Dominated by fats cells.

Tonicity

________- Affect fluid volume in a cell.

Sodium

________- Potassium…regulates the volume of fluid within a cell, provides the electrical potential necessary for nervous systems activity.

Mitosis

________- Main focus of a cells life cycle, when the cell splits into two identical daughter cells.

Passive Transport

________- diffusion, filtration, osmosis (and definition of facilitated diffusion) does not require cells to expand.

Isotonic

________- Concentration of solutes in the same as it in within the cell.

Cilia

________- Found on the surface of some cells, moves in one direction in a wave- like motion.

Matrix

________- consist of varying kinds and amounts of protein fibers and fluids.

Helps

________ insulate the body to conserve body heat.

DNA

________- main function is to provide information for building proteins.

Reticular

________- consist of loose network of ________ fibers and cells.

Flagella

________- Function is movement, have a whip like motion, only found on the tail of the sperm.

soft gel

Areolar- consist of collagen and elastin fibers in a(n) ________- like matrix.

Differentiation

________- rise to a different type of tissue.

Hypertonic

________- Higher concentration of solutes compared with the fluid within the cell.

Epithelial

________- is a continuous sheet of tightly packed cells; it covers the bodys surface, lines body cavity and many organs, and forms certain glands.

Nervous

________- found in the brain, spinal cord, and ________ tissue consist of 2 types of cells, neurons and neuroglia.

Hypotonic

________- Lower concentration of solute compared with the fluid within the cell.

Ectoderm

________- gives rise to epidermis and nervous system.

diffusion

Facilitated ________- Molecules needs help to move across the cell membrane.

Tissues

________- Groups of cells that perform a common function.

Osmotic pressure

________- The water pressure that develops from osmosis.

Carbohydrates

________ and attached to their outer surface (forming glycoproteins) glycoproteins act as markers to help the body distinguish its own cells from foreign its own cells from foreign invaders.

RNA

________- assist in protein synthesis.

Smooth

________- lines the walls of many organs including digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts.

Muscle

________- Consist of elongated cells that contract in response to stimulation, there are 3 types of muscle tissues:

Matrix

________ may also be gel like, flexible, tough, or even fragile.
