APHY 101 IVY TECH MIDTERM REVIEW
characteristics of cardiac tissue - ANS-involuntary and intrinsically controlled, striated, branched
characteristics of cartilige - ANS-thin avascular, flexible and resistant to compressive forces
characteristics of dna - ANS-composed to two side by side chains of nucleotides, twisted into a
double helix
characteristics of epithelial tissue - ANS-cells laid in sheets tightly connected to each other
characteristics of fiber types - ANS-absorbing, comes in various shapes and sizes
characteristics of skeletal tissue - ANS-coordinates, regulates & integrates body functions,
striated & voluntary, muscle attached to bones
characteristics of smooth tissue - ANS-involuntarily controlled, not stirated, not branched, and
singly nucleated
Define active transport - ANS-the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a
region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.
Define canaliculi - ANS-Hairlike canals that connect lacunae to each other and the central canal
Define chondrocytes - ANS-mature cartilage cells
Define decomposition - ANS-the process of breaking down deliverables and project work into
smaller more manageable components.
define denaturization - ANS-modification of the structure of a protein
Define diffusion - ANS-movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration
Define endocytosis - ANS-the taking in of matter by a living cell by invagination of its membrane
to form a vacuole.
Define exchange reaction - ANS-parts of molecules trade places
Define exocytosis - ANS-a process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the
exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.
, Define facilitated diffusion - ANS-Movement of specific molecules across cell membranes
through protein channels
Define filtration - ANS-the process that separates a solid from the liquid in a heterogeneous
mixture
define glandular epithelium - ANS-specialized epithelial cells that secret bodily products
Define homeostasis - ANS-Maintaining a stable internal environment
Define lacunae - ANS-small cavities that contain osteocytes
define lamealle - ANS-a thin layer, membrane, or plate of tissue, especially in bone
Define matter, element and atom. What is the basic unit of matter? - ANS-matter: any substance
that has mass and takes up space
atom: smallest unit of ordinary matter
basic unit of matter: atoms
define nucleus, proton, neutron, and electron. What charges do each of these particles have? -
ANS-nucleus: central core of an atom, positive
proton: stable subatomic particle, positive
neutron: subatomic particle, no charge
electron: stable subatomic particle, negative
Define organelle - ANS-any number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell.
Define osmosis - ANS-diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Define osteocytes - ANS-A mature bone cell; an osteoblast that has become embedded within
the bone matrix and occupies a lacuna.
Define phagocytosis - ANS-cellular eating
Define pinocytosis - ANS-Cell drinking
Define synthesis - ANS-the production of chemical compounds by reaction from simpler
materials.
Define transcytosis. - ANS-receptor mediated transport from one side of a cell to the other of a
macromolecule
Describe cytoplasm - ANS-gelatinous material inside the cell composed of cytosol, inclusions,
ribosomes, and a cytoskeleton
