Cells
What cells function as energy storage, insulation and protection?
adipocytes
What is the function of adipocytes?
insulation, protection and energy storage
*Fat cells
What is the function of Skeletal muscle tissue?
voluntary movement; walking, lifting things, etc
What muscle tissue is involuntary and in the heart?
Cardiac muscle
What is the function of Ribosomes?
Make protein
Ribosomes on Rough ER make protein to send out of the cell
Ribosomes floating in cytoplasm make protein for in the cell
What cells act like the bodies soldiers and protect from infections?
White blood cells, Leukocytes
What is the function of white blood cells?
defend the body against infection
*like the bodies soldiers
What is the function of smooth muscle tissue?
involuntary movement in intestines, stomach and blood vessels.
Helps with blood flow, breathing, and food digestion
What is the muscle tissue that is voluntary?
Skeletal
What is the Function of vesicles?
Stores water, nutrients, waste, etc.
What cells cary oxygen through the body. They lack all organelles
Red blood cells
What is the function of photoreceptor cells?
Cells in the eye, detect light and turn it into electrical signals for the brain
What is the function of nervous tissue?
Communication from body to brain by sending electrical signals
What muscle tissue is involuntary found in stomach, intestines, and blood vessels?
Smooth muscles
What is the Function of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum?
makes protein, send them to Golgi for "shipment"
What cells don't have a specialized function and are often used in research?
Stem Cells
What is the function of Osteoblasts?
Bone forming cells
What is the function of epithelial tissue?
protection: skin
digestive tract/respiratory tract lining: secretion/excretion/absorption
What tissue type connects, separates, and supports all other types of tissue in the body?
Connective tissue
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus
processes, sorts and packages/ships protein
* Gets vesicles of protein from the rough ER to "mail"
Which cells send and receive electrical signals to communicate from the body to the brain
Neurons, nerve cells
What is the function of Neurons?
Nerve cells, send and receive electrical signals in the nervous system
*essential for thinking, memory, movement. Body to brain communication
What is the function of Nervous tissue?
sends signals to allow communication between cells
What tissue type is made of layers of closely packed cells? It makes up the skin of our body.
epithelial cells
What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
make lipids and can modify small molecules
*like phospholipids that make up the cell membrane
