Epithelial cells are identified by cell _?_ and layer organization.
They are identified by cell shape and layer organization.
200
Nerve cells are also called what?
Neurons
200
What kind of cells are undifferentiated cells that have the unique ability to divide and develop into various other specialized cell types throughout the body?
Stem cells
200
Blood cells are vital solid components that are made where?
Blood cells are made in your bone marrow.
200
Name the type of cell pictured below.
Nerve cell or neuron
300
What does the suffix “-ology” mean?
"the study of"
300
Why are fibroblasts (for tissue repair), and adipocytes (fat cells) examples of fixed cells?
We say they are fixed cells because they stay in one place in the body.
300
Name the 3 types of muscle cells?
Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth muscle cells
300
TRUE or FALSE:
Stem cells serve as an internal repair system.
TRUE
300
Blood cells float in a liquid called _?_ to keep your body alive and healthy.
This liquid is called plasma.
300
What don we call the red strands pictured below?
The red strands are called EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX.
400
What term describes multiple layers of cells?
stratified
400
Why do we refer to immune cells like macrophages and mast cells as transient connective tissue cells?
Because they move around throughout the body.
400
When neurons are grouped by function, name the three main types.
When neurons are grouped by function, the three main types are:
sensory neurons, motor neurons and interneurons.
400
Where are adult stem cells found in the body?
They are found in small amounts in tissues like bone marrow; they help repair specific body parts.
400
What is the function of essential cell fragments that we call either platelets or thrombocytes?
Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, initiate blood clotting (coagulation) and stop bleeding.
400
What types of cells are pictured below?
White blood cells, also known as leukocytes
500
What does the prefix "Thrombo-” mean?
means a blood clot, clotting or coagulation
500
What do we call a complex network of proteins and carbohydrates that surrounds, supports, and gives structure to cells and tissues in the body?
Extracellular matrix (ECM)
500
Name each type of neuron from left to right.
Bipolar, Unipolar, and Multipolar
500
Stem cells are special raw material cells in the body with two main jobs, name those 2 jobs.
1. They can make copies of themselves over and over.
2. They can turn into many different specialized cell types like blood, bone, or muscle.
500
Name the 5 subtypes of leukocytes, (white blood cells), that are considered part of the immune system?
(Remember the way nurse Jackson showed you.)
BEN - Basophils, Eosinophils, and Neutrophils
LeMon - Lymphocytes and Monocytes
