Cells
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
Connects bones to muscles.
What is tendons?
Openings above the eye in the skull.
Involuntary (digestive) muscle tissue.
Coordinate the body's systems by receiving and sending information, maintaining homeostasis.
What is the Nervous System?
A solution that has a high solute concentration compared to body fluids. Water moves out of the cell.
What is collagenous fibers?
Membrane covering the entire bone.
What is periosteum?
Muscle fiber membrane.
What is sarcolemma?
Insulation surrounding axons.
What is myelin?
Chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
What is anaphase?
Covers ends of joints, nose and respiratory passages.
What is hyaline cartilage?
Located in the wall of the diaphysis.
What is compact bone?
A disorder causing muscle weakness and leads to reduced mobility.
What is dystrophy?
Determines where information is sent.
What is integrative?
Transport system for lipid synthesis.
What is Smooth ER?
Provides support, protection, framework, fills space, stores fat, produces blood cells, fights infections.
What is connective tissue?
Enclosed in tiny chambers called lacunae.
What is osteocytes?
Separated and surrounds the fascicles (bundles).
What is perimysium?
Form the insulating myelin sheath around the neurons in the PNS (same function as oligodendrocytes, which are found in the CNS)
What is Schwann Cells?
Consists of phospholipids and embedded proteins
What is Cell Membrane (or phospholipid bilayer)?
Thick collagenous fibers and elastic fibers. Few cells, poor blood supply, thus slow healing.
What is fibrous connective tissue?
Immovable joint, called sutures, skull.
What is synarthrotic joints?
Where neurotransmitters are stored.
What is synaptic vesicles?
Fibers within the axon.
What is neurofibrils?
