The Cell
The membrane surrounding the cell with a hydrophilic exterior and a hydrophobic interior.
What is the plasma membrane?
This system contains the brain, neurons, and the spinal cord.
What is the nervous system?
This cut divides the body into a top and bottom half.
What is a transverse cut?
This structure holds the DNA of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
The term for biological balance.
What is homeostasis?
The organelle that packages proteins in vesicles.
What is the golgi apparatus?
This system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.
What is the digestive system?
This membrane functions as the great equator between the abdominal and thoracic cavities.
What is the diaphragm?
This phase lines chromosomes in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
This requirement of human life must remain in a stable range, or the body will begin sweating or shivering.
What is temperature?
The organelle that synthesizes ribosomes.
What is the nucleolus?
This system contains the lungs and trachea.
What is the respiratory system?
This serous membrane lines the lungs.
What is the pleura membrane?
The technical term for uncondensed DNA.
What is chromatin?
The process of counteracting a variable to re-establish homeostasis.
What is a negative feedback loop?
The plasma membrane component that contains a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails.
What is a phospholipid?
This system functions to aid in movement and blood cell formation.
What is the skeletal system?
What is anatomical position?
This cytoskeleton uses the spindle apparatus to separate sister chromatids.
What is a centromere?
The body uses these to react to environmental changes.
The process of making proteins from mRNA using tRNA anticodons.
What is translation?
This system focuses on the thyroid, pancreas, pituitary, testes, and ovaries.
This membrane lines the intestinal organs.
What is the peritoneum?
This structure dissolves at the beginning of prophase.
This condition is caused by low sodium in the extracellular fluid, causing cellular swelling.
What is hyponatremia?
