VERSION
Most important active transport system - Answer Sodium-potassium pump
(allows our nerve cells to fire which creates muscle contractions, sensations and
even thoughts)
Endocytosis - Answer Process where a molecule outside of the cell is enclosed
in an invagination (pouch) of the cell membrane forming a vesicle inside the cell.
Includes pinocytosis and phagocytosis
Pinocytosis - Answer "Cell drinking"; engulfs small solid or fluid particles such
as proteins and electrolytes
Phagocytosis - Answer "Cell eating"; as the membrane engulfs and then kills
microorganisms or other particulate matter
Membrane Potential - Answer Difference in voltage between the inside and
outside of a cell
Electrical potential - Answer Ability of separated electrical charges of opposite
polarity (+ and -) to do work and is measured in volts (V)
,Potential difference - Answer Difference between the separated charges
Concentration gradient - Answer Difference in the concentration of a substance
from one location to another
Where do the concentrations of sodium and potassium reside within the cell? -
Answer Sodium - extracellular (outside cell)
Potassium intracellular (inside cell)
Diffusion potential - Answer Voltage generated by ions that diffuse across the
cell membrane
Epithelial Tissue - Answer Avascular (lacks its own blood vessels) tissue that
covers the body's outer surface, lines the inner surfaces, and forms glandular tissue
Epithelial Tissue Types (3 parts) - Answer 1. Squamous (thin and flat)
2. Cuboidal (cube shaped)
3. Columnar (resembling a column)
Connective Tissue - Answer Tissue that produces the extracellular matrix that
supports and holds tissues together and is divided into two types: proper and
specialized
Connective Tissue Proper types - Answer 1. Loose (areolar)
, 2. Adipose
3. Reticular
4. Dense
Specialized Connective Tissue types - Answer 1. Cartilage
2. Bone
3. Blood cells
Muscle Tissue - Answer Tissue that moves the skeletal structures, pumps blood
through the heart and contracts the blood vessels and visceral organs
Muscle Tissue fibers that produce the contractions - Answer Thick filaments
(myosin) and thin filaments (actin)
Muscle Tissue Types (3 parts) - Answer 1. Skeletal
2. Cardiac
3. Smooth
Nervous Tissue - Answer Tissue that communicates between peripheral tissues
and the central nervous system, controls body function, and senses & moves the
body in response to stimuli
Nervous tissue cells (2 parts) - Answer 1. Neurons (messengers)
2. Glial cells (supporters)
