3 main parts of a cell | Plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus |
Organelles | Structures within a cell that carry out metabolic or cellular functions |
Plasma membrane is made of | Phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins. The proteins make it selectively permeable |
Proteins | Made of amino acids joined by peptide bonds |
Cytoplasm | Semi-fluid substance inside a cell membrane |
Nucleus | Surrounded by a double membrane of DNA, regulates mitosis |
Mitosis | Process of cellular division in eukaryotes. |
Rough endoplasmic reticulum | Surrounds the outer nucleus, produces protein through ribosomes |
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum | Produces and stores lipids |
Golgi complex | Receives vessels of protein, modifies, repackages, and sends it to where it is needed. Also makes Digestive enzyme vessels called lysosomes. |
Lysosomes | Powerful digestive enzymes necessary for cellular metabolism. |
Mitochondria | The powerhouse of the cell, turns food we eat into ATP through cellular respiration |
Tissues | Groups of similar cells that work together for a single function. There are 4 basic types. |
Epithelial | Covers body surfaces and body cavities, serves as a protective barrier |
Connective tissue | Connects other tissues together to bind and support body parts |
Muscle tissue | Moves the body and its contents through contraction |
Nervous tissue | Receives signals from inside or outside the body and communicates through electrical impulses with the rest of the body |
Organs | Made of 2 or more tissues and have a specific shape and function |
Organ systems | Related organs with a common multifaceted function: digestive, respiratory, central nervous system |
Sagital or Median | Divides body left and right |
Transverse | Divides top and bottom half |
Frontal/coronal | Divides front and back |
Superior | Above |
Inferior | Below |
Anterior | Front |
Posterior | Back |
Lateral | Away from the midline |
Medial | Toward or at the midline of the body |
