Golgi Apparatus A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export
by the cell
Haploid Cell A cell containing only one set of chromosomes.
Meiosis Cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms
Metaphase second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the
center of the cell
Mitosis cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number
of chromosomes
Nucleus A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and
reproduction
,Nucleolus Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes
Organelles A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell
Osmosis Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Plant Cells have chloroplasts and a cell wall
Prophase first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become
visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus
Telophase the final phase of cell division, between anaphase and interphase, in which the
chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.
Alveoli tiny sacs of lung tissue specialized for the movement of gases between air and
blood
,Aorta The large arterial trunk that carries blood from the heart to be distributed by
branch arteries through the body.
Axons a part of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body
Ball-and-Socket Joints shoulder and hip
Blood A connective tissue with a fluid matrix called plasma in which red blood cells,
white blood cells, and cell fragments called platelets are suspended.
Brain an organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates, functioning as
the coordinating center of sensation and intellectual and nervous activity.
Bronchial Tubes small respiratory passages that connect the trachea to the lungs
Capillaries Microscopic vessel through which exchanges take place between the blood
and cells of the body
, Cardiac Muscles muscles found only in the walls of your heart
Cerebellum the "little brain" at the rear of the brainstem; functions include processing
sensory input and coordinating movement output and balance
Cerebrum Area of the brain responsible for all voluntary activities of the body
Circulatory System Transports oxygen, waste, nutrients, hormones, heat, etc... around
the body
Dendrites a neuron's bushy, branching extensions that receive messages and conduct
impulses toward the cell body
Diaphragm Large, flat muscle at the bottom of the chest cavity that helps with breathing
Digestive System Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for
distribution to body cells.
