Basic Structure of the Human Body (Terms)
Basic Structure of the Human Body (Terms)
*1. Anatomy-The study of the structure of an organism.
2. Cell- Mass of protoplasm; the basic unit of structure of ll animals and plants.
*3. Cell Membrane- Outer protective semi-permeable covering of a cell.
*4. Centrosome- That area of all cytoplasm that contains 2 centrioles; important in reproduction of the cell.
5. Chromatin- That structure in the nucleus of a cell that contains chromosomes with genes which carry inherited characteristics.
6. Connective Tissue- Body tissue that connects supports or binds body organs.
*7. Cytoplasm- The fluid inside a cell; contains water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals, and salts.
8. Dehydration- Insufficient amounts of fluid in the tissues.
9. Edema- Swelling, excessive amounts of fluid in the tissue.
10. Endoplasmic Reticulum- Fine network of tubular structures in the cytoplasm of a cell; allows for the transport of materials in and out of the nucleus and aids in the synthesis and storage of protein.
11. Epithelial Tissue- Tissue that forms the skin and parts of the secreting glands, and that lines the body cavities.
12. Golgi Apparatus- That structure in the cytoplasm of a cell that produces, stores, and packages secretion for discharge from the cell.
13. Lysosomes- These structures in the cytoplasm of a cell that contains digestive enzymes to digest and destroy old cells, bacteria, and foreign matter.
14. Mitosis- The process of cell division that occurs in gametes, or sex cells/ ovum and spermatozoal
*15. Mitochondria- Those structures in a cell that produce energy and are involved in the metabolism of the cell.
16. Mitosis- Process of asexual reproduction by which cells divide into two identical cells.
17. Muscle Tissue- Body tissue composed of fibers that produce movement.
18. Nerve Tissue- Body Tissue that conducts or transmit impulses throughout the body.
*19. Nucleolus- The spherical body in that nucleus of a cell that is important in
