Blood
Liquid that transports nutrients and carries waste products away from the body.
Plasma
What is a neuron?
Cell that sends and receives signals throughout the body.
This part of the cell protects the organelles inside of the cell.
Cell membrane
This process happens when one cell splits into two cells.
Mitosis
True or false: It is okay to share test answers with someone during the test.
False
Fragments that help blood clot and make scabs.
Platelets
What do dendrites do?
Receive messages from other neurons.
This organelle is the "brain" of the cell.
Nucleus
True or False: The average cell goes through mitosis every 24 hours.
True
What is our class average goal?
80%
Round, flat cells that carry oxygen throughout the body.
Red Blood Cells
What does the axon do?
Takes information away from the cell body.
This is the jelly-like substance that cell organelles float in.
Cyptoplasm
What can happen if mitosis happens too much and too quickly?
Cancer
What voice level should you have during a test?
A.) 0- silent
B.) 1- whisper
C.) 2- partner
D.) 3- group
A.) 0
Sphere-shaped cells that respond to diseases and infections.
White Blood Cells
What does the axon terminal do?
Passes information onto other neurons.
This organelle produces protein in the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
What is the fastest healing part of the body?
Mouth
What does it mean to have an "open note" test?
You can use your notes while taking the test.
Why does plasma separate from the rest of the blood if left to sit for a while.
Plasma is less dense than the rest of the blood and rises.
True or false: There about 100 billion neurons in the human brain.
True
This organelle is the UPS of the cell and ships proteins around the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
True or false: All cells go through mitosis.
False. Specialized cells like blood cells and nerve cells do not.
If you finish your test before the end of the science block, what are TWO things you could do?
Read, write, draw, or work on homework from your classes.
