Chapter 07 Key Terms
Transmitted from parents to child genetically
Inherited
produces power and movement by contraction of muscle fibers (three main kinds: skeletal, cardiac, and visceral (smooth))
muscle tissue
Cell structures that help a cell to function are located in the cytoplasm
Organelles
The basic substance of all life, material makes up all living things
Protoplasm
Oval or round bodies found throughout the cytoplasm (Enzymes that digests and destroys old cells/bacteria/foreign materials, important function of the body's immune system)
Lysosomes
Made up of special cells called neurons, controls and coordinates body activities by transmitting messages throughout the body
nerve tissue
the study of how disease occurs and the responses of living organisms to disease processes
Pathophysiology
Have the ability to transform themselves into any of the body's specialized cells and perform many different functions (Within the blastocyst)
stem cells
process that uses two separate cell divisions to produce four new cells
Meiosis
One or more small round bodies located inside the nucleus and important in cell reproduction
Nucleolus
the study of the processes of living organisms, or why and how they work
Physiology
Organs and other body parts joined together to perform a particular function
System
Rod-shaped organelles located throughout the cytoplasm (“powerhouses” of the cell because they break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to produce ATP)
Mitochondria
A mass in the cytoplasm (controls many cell activities and is important in the process of mitosis or cell division)
Nucleus
Pocketlike folds in the cell membrane (Allow large molecules such as proteins and fats to enter the cell)
pinocytic vesicles
Formed when cells of the same type join together for a common purpose, 60 to 99% water with various dissolved substances
Tissue
A form of asexual reproduction
Mitosis
two or more tissues joined together to perform a specific function
Organ
refers to a prediction of the probable course and/or the expected outcome of the disease
Prognosis
Pouch-like structures found throughout the cytoplasm that have vascular membrane with the same structure as a cell membrane
Vacuoles
