1. Produces energy for cells to use by breaking down substances during oxidative
metabolism. Answer: Mitochodrion
2. Collects packages, and distributes molecules made in the cell. Answer: Golgi complex
3.Tiny protein producing factories. Proteins produce chemical messages that run a cell.
Answer: Ribosome
4. Storage area from fast a and other substances Answer: Vacuole
5. Vesicle that contains enzymes that carry out particular reactions such as detoxifying
potentially harmful molecules. Answer:
Peroxisome
6. Tiny organs that help the cell divide. Answer: Centriole
7. Made up of a double layer of fatty material. It allows some
materials to pass into and out the cell at thousands of places across
,the surface. It allows foods to pass into and into the cell and waste to pass out of the cell. Answer:
Cell membrane
8.Jelly-like fluid between cell membrane and the nucleus. Where all the organelles are found.
Answer: Cytoplasm
9. Where digestion of cell nutrients takes place. Answer: Lysosome
10. Smooth and rough tubes that move and store materials made by the cell. Answer:
Endoplasmic reticulum
11. Contains coded information that passes on every single inherited characteristic. Answer:
DNA
12. Framework is based on the "classic" or common presentation of disease in the
physiologic functioning of human beings. Answer: Pathophysiology
13. The cause or reason (risk factor) for a particular issue. Answer: Etiology

patient c/o pain or increased coughing spells). Answer: Symptoms
18. T
he cause of the signs and symptoms is known as .
Answer: Syndrome
19. The time from exposure to first signs and symptoms (A.K.A. the incubation period).
Answer: Latent period
20. The time when signs/symptoms first appear indicating the onset of the disease process.
Answer: Prodromal period
21. The disease reaches the peak/full intensity - you are feeling really sick. Answer: Acute
phase
22. The disease process is well established, and you are living with it/able to function.
Answer: Subclinical stage
, 23. Short-lived; can have severe S/S; example: having a cold/flu Answer: Acute

stroke and does not fully recover). Answer: Sequela
29. The study of patterns of disease within a population. Answer: Epidemiology
30. Local or native to a specific region Answer: Endemic
