Organ Systems
This system's main functions are protecting the body's organs, providing support, formation of blood, and movement.
Skeletal System
This type of transportation does not require the use of energy.
Passive Transport
The cristae are located in this double membraned organelle.
Mitochondria
There are 20 different types of these subunits that are linked together to make proteins.
Amino Acids
The human microbiome consists of these for types of organisms.
Bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea
The nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs are examples of organs in this system.
Respirator System
Water moving down the concentration gradient through a semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis
Protein modification happens in this organelle.
Golgi Apparatus
These types of compounds are primarily used as the body's source of energy.
Carbohydrates
These are examples of things that can decrease or harm your microbiome.
Antibiotics, poor diet, stress, pollution, etc.
This system is responsible for the excretion of wastes; regulation of blood volume and pressure; and control of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.
Urinary System
Molecules that are either too big or charged cannot travel through the cell membrane on their own so they use these to get from one side to the other.
Channel Proteins
The phospholipid bilayer that controls what substances get into and out of cells.
Plasma Membrane
This molecule is a nucleotide that stores energy in the body.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
These are functions of the human microbiome.
Producing vitamins, protecting against infections, absorbing nutrients, digesting food, influencing mental health, etc.
The thymus, tonsils, and spleen are some examples of organs in this system.
Lymphatic System
Also called "cell drinking", this happens when part of the cell membrane pinches off engulfing extracellular fluids and nutrients.
Pinocytosis
Ribosomes are made in this dense area found inside another organelle.
Nucleolus
This class of compound is used as the body's reserve source of energy, form cell membranes, provide structure to cells, insulate nerve cells, and are fat soluble vitamins.
Lipids
This organ system has the highest concentration of microbes and is the most benefited from the microbiome.
Digestive System (GI tract)
This system controls other systems and produces and releases hormones.
Endocrine System
The sodium-potassium pump is an example of this kind of transport.
Active Transport
These organelles are only active during cell division.
Centrioles
Enzymes act as this - speeding up reactions in the body.
Catalyst
There are roughly 22,000 human genes but an average adult has 8,000,000 of these.
Microbial genes present in/on their body.
