Human Body - Exam 1 SCF
Exocytosis - Occurs when contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of
the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.
Neurons - nerve cell, transmit information throughout the body
Neuroglia - supportive cell for neurons
Axon - primary transmission lines of the nervous system
Dendrites - receive information from other neural call to the cell body of the neuron
Pelvic Cavity - space with in the walls of the pelvis
Meninges - protect the central nervous system
Reticular Cells - provide structural support
rRNA - cells essential protein factory
Anterior - Refers to the front of a body
Aqueous Solution - A solution in which the solvent is water
Buffers - A solution that can maintain a nearly constant pH if it is diluted
,Buccal - Relating to the cheek
Cephalic - Of, in, or relating to the head
Cervical - Relating to the neck
Cranial - Relating to the skull or cranium
Mucus - lubricates the inside of the body and helps protect your body from bacteria.
Cubital - Of the forearm or the elbow
Cytokinesis - The division of the cytoplasm during the telophase of cell division
Embryonic Stem cells - Unspecialized cells capable of producing all types of specialized human
cells
Epithelial Tissue - Lines the outer surface of organs and blood vessels throughout the body
Lumen - The inside space of a tubular structure, such as an artery or intestine.
Organic Substances - Molecules associated with living organisms
Phagocytosis - The ingestion of bacteria or other material by phagocytes
Posterior - Refers to the back of a body
Popliteal - situated in the hollow at the back of the knee.
, Pedal - pertaining to feet
Plantar - the sole of the foot
Patellar - the kneecap
Femoral - the femur or thigh
mRNA - a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the
ribosome
Serous Membranes - a mesothelial tissue which lines certain internal cavities of the body, forming
a smooth, transparent, two-layered membrane lubricated by a fluid derived from serum.
Pleurae - each of a pair of serous membranes lining the thorax and enveloping the lungs in
humans and animals.
Selectively permable membranes - Regulates the passage of ions and molecules
Pleural cavity - Helps the lungs breathe, located between the two pulmonary pleurae
Scapular - Stabilizes the movement of the shoulder, connects the collarbone and the humerus
bone
Cell identity marker - Serve as the nametag of the cells, are made up of proteins and
carbohydrates
Proximal - An anatomical term that refers to body parts located towards the center of the body.
