Cells
This structure is often called the control centre of the cell because it contains most of the cell's DNA.
What is the nucleus?
Identify the three epithelial tissues described : A single layer of cube-shaped cells found in kidney tubules.
What are simple cuboidal
In this standard reference position, the body stands upright, faces forward, has arms at its sides and palms facing forward.
What is anatomical position?
This anatomical plane divides the body into superior and inferior portions.
What is the transverse plane?
This thin, single layer of flattened epithelial cells allows rapid diffusion of gases in the alveoli.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
This selectively permeable structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the plasma membrane?
Unlike most other connective tissues, this tissue has a liquid extracellular matrix and transports oxygen, nutrients and waste products.
What is blood?
he nose is medial to the ears, and the ears are ______ to the nose.
What is lateral?
This type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of the intestines and blood vessels and is involuntary.
What is smooth muscle?
This type of muscle is voluntary, striated and attached to bones.
What is skeletal muscle?
This jelly-like material fills the cell, surrounds its organelles and is the site of many chemical reactions.
What is the cytoplasm?
This type of epithelial tissue can stretch and recoil, allowing the urinary bladder to expand as it fills.
What is transitional epithelium?
This anatomical plane divides the body into anterior and posterior portions.
What is the frontal (coronal) plane?
This organelle modifies, sorts and packages proteins for transport within or outside the cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This connective tissue forms the framework of organs such as the spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow.
What is reticular connective tissue?
This type of membrane transport does not require cellular energy and moves substances down their concentration gradient.
What is passive transport?
This type of connective tissue stores energy, provides insulation and cushions organs.
What is adipose tissue?
A patient lying flat on their back is in this position.
What is the supine position?
The skin is superficial to the muscles. This anatomical term describes the position of the muscles relative to the skin.
What is deep?
DNA stores genetic instructions, while this type of nucleic acid helps carry out those instructions during protein synthesis.
What is RNA?
This type of cell division produces two genetically identical daughter cells for growth and tissue repair.
What is mitosis?
This tissue covers body surfaces, lines organs and cavities, and forms glands.
What is epithelial tissue?
A patient is lying prone. A nurse describes an injury on the posterior surface of the left lower leg, distal to the knee. Explain the patient's position and the anatomical location of the injury.
What is lying face down, with the injury on the back of the left lower leg, farther from the trunk than the knee?
This type of epithelial tissue appears to have multiple layers because its nuclei are at different heights, although all cells contact the basement membrane.
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
This process moves water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
What is osmosis?
