cells
a small network located deep inside the cytoplasm
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
does not require energy expenditure by the cell
passive transport process
The before phase
prophase
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue
stretchable tissue that is a soft thick gel
loose fibrous connective tissue
Every cell contains thousands of...
Ribosomes
a natural phenomenon caused by the tendency of small particles to spread out evenly within any given space
diffusion
cell reproduction is accomplished by...
mitosis
the union of basal and fibro reticular laminae together forms
basement membrane
predominantly fat cells
adipose tissue
a membranous organelle consisting of separate tiny sacs
Golgi apparatus
the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane
osmosis
apart phase begins as soon as all the chromosomes have algined along the cell's equator
anaphase
what two tissue types have the greatest capacity to regenerate
epithelial and connective
low amount of collagen in the matrix that gives a shiny and translucent appearance
hyaline cartilage
form when small portions of the plasma membrane pinch inward and separate into a vesicle or sac
Lysosomes
the cell swells because of the movement of water into the cell by osmosis
hypotonic
position changing phase
metaphase
twoo major types of body membranes
epithelial and connective tissue membrane
contains few collagen fibers but large numbers of very fine elastic fibers
elastic cartilage
one of the largest cell structures
nucleus
microorganisms or other large particles are engulfed by the plasma membrane and enter the cell in vesicles that have pinches off from the membrane
phagocytosis
the end phase
telophase
covers body surfaces that are exposed to the external environment
cutaneous membrane
conducting units of the nervous system
neurons
