Positions, Planes, and Imaging
These produce radiographs by firing radiation that can pass all the way through body, can be deflected or scattered, or be absorbed.
What are regular X-rays?
The movement of molecules from a high concentration to a lower concentration.
What is diffusion?
The powerhouse of the cell <3.
(Used to generate citric acid, and plays a major role in the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and beta-oxidation of fatty acids.)
What is mitochondria?
Epithelial lining commonly located at sites of rapid diffusion.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
Glands that secrete messenger molecules that are carried by the blood to target organs.
What are endocrine glands?
This plane cuts the body into anterior and posterior sections.
What is the coronal plane?
Involves a substance exiting the cell by the fusion of a vesicle with the plasma membrane.
What is exocytosis?
Motile microtubule structures anchored to the cell that use a power stroke (and subsequently, a recovery stroke) to move liquid.
What are cilia?
Single layer of epithelium commonly lining ducts of glands.
What is simple cuboidal epithelium?
The exocrine gland that secretes bile.
What is the liver?
These images combine a series of pictures taken from different angles around your body and creates cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body.
What is CT imaging?
These are transmembrane, permanently anchored molecules containing alpha-helical domains.
What are integral proteins?
A region of a membranous tubule network abundant in cells specializing in lipid metabolism.
What is smooth endoplasmic reticulum (sER)?
Cancerous lesions of epithelial origin, usually resulting from frequent exposure to physical or chemical damage.
What are carcinomas?
Fingerlike extensions of the plasma membrane of apical epithelial cells, designed to maximize surface area.
What are microvilli?
A position in which the patient is lying down, face directed downwards.
What is "prone"?
(PRONE ON THE BONE)
The cellular mechanism used to reach a balance in homeostasis.
What is osmoregulation?
Loosely condensed, transcriptionally active material within a chromosome.
What is euchromatin?
Single layer of epithelium that appears stratified, and is often found in the respiratory system and the excretory ducts of the male reproductive system.
What is pseudostratified epithelium?
Region that allows small molecules to move between cells.
What is a gap junction?
This method of imaging produces very detailed images and is also the safest method compared to the others we have learned about in class.
This results from a high concentration of solutes outside of the cell.
What is crenation?
What cellular division involves the separation of sister chromatids?
What is Meiosis II?
Layers of epithelium commonly found where protection and transport are required.
What is stratified squamous epithelium?
A noncellular sheet of protein and reticular fibers that form part of the basement membrane.
What is the basal lamina?
