Tissues
Covers and lines
Epithelium
These cells are responsible for electrical signaling
Neurons
This happens during S phase of the cell cycle.
DNA Replication
Double your points: what does semiconservative replication mean?
This tissue is found in places where diffusion across cells must happen quickly
Simple squamous epithelium
The 2 muscle types that are involuntary.
Smooth and cardiac muscle
This is the process by which our cells, which all have the exact same DNA, take on different shapes and functions.
Differentiation
This tissues cushions, insulates and stores reserve fuel
Adipose tissue
In this process, a muscle gets larger because its cells get larger, not because the cells divide
Hypertrophy
Double your points: Growth through cell division is __________
Sweat glands release sweat by exocytosis - they don't die in the process. This classifies them as
Merocrine glands
Cells found in dense regular connective tissue
Fibroblasts
The embryonic precursor tissue for all connective tissue
Mesenchyme
This enzyme builds the mRNA strand from the DNA template
RNA polymerase
This general tissue is a freeloader. It never has its own blood supply.
Epithelium
Double your points: where does it get its nutrients and O2?
Tissues that aren't good at regeneration repair themselves using this process
Fibrosis
This organelle is particularly well-developed in the interstitial cells of Leydig. They produce testosterone, which is a steroid (lipid) hormone.
Smooth ER
Found any place where friction is an issue.
Stratified epithelium
These cells support neurons
Neuroglia
Responsible for moving food through the GI tract.
Smooth muscle
